Happy Homemaker 2026-03-09

Good morning

A non-routine week for me... Tuesday dh decided he wanted to go to the car show with bil so he drove me to work and picked me up... however that means a little less hours as he drives me in late and picks me up early (we have variable hours within limits).

Wednesday was telework but dh wanted to go back to car show so I could try some cars (I'm short so he wants to see if I can drive it.  So we left at 2:30 (took some time off work) and then we went to the big Videotron Center as Xavier was playing with teams of small friends before the real hockey game for which we stayed afterwrds.  Had lunch over there.  Got back home around 9:30 pm.

Thursday had grandkids all day as it was Spring Break.  DH took them skating at arena in the afternoon and they fell asleep in the car on the way back.

Saturday was to go to funeral parlor to give our sympathies but as we were leaving we noticed water dripping in a few places in basement.. seems it was ice on the roof... so we had to get that dried up and called brothers (they are roofers and did the roof 2 years ago), so skipped the funeral parlor... and while I was waiting for dh to check out leaks in attic I was sitting in the car scrolling on my phone with car belt on... our garage driveway is on incline.. and the car started backing up (we had had a little freezing rain overnight).. scary!  I threw my phone in the air, got out of the seat belt fast to climb over the console and into driver's seat to press on the break (hand-break was on but it still backed up slowly)... finally got the car stopped and then started it and put it in the street.  Leaks stopped after dh got some snow off the roof.  Went to get Subway's for supper and pick up some groceries.

Sunday was Xavier's hockey game and a few small things around the house but mostly have started binge-watching Orange is the new Black on Netflix.
