Being on vacation is difficult.  Not because you don’t need the rest.  Not because you don’t want to spend time with family.  Not because you don’t want to tackle all the projects you didn’t have time to do before.  It’s because your family doesn’t know how you fit in.  My family is used to me working all the time.  Having me home for an extended period is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.  You can get it to fit in, but it takes some creativity.  I realize that all the conflicts that I resolved, probably would have resolved without me.  The projects that I chose to do probably weren’t the ones my wife would have picked for me to do.  Now that the weekend is here along with our normal weekend routines, I seem to fit in again.  As much as I appreciate vacation time, I will be glad to be back to our normal routines.

I took the kids sledding yesterday.  I got the idea to take the kids out sledding to give Ang some time to do some kitchen remodeling.  Our town is so flat, this will be the first time they have gone sledding, even though we have had no shortage of snow this season.  The counter-top looks amazing.  She plans to seal it today.  Now all we have to do is put the new sink and faucet in.  Well, we need another hole cut before we can do that.  It only came with 4  holes and we need 5.  I’m so anxious to get this project done.  It’s kind of hard to eat at home when your kitchen is torn up.
