The sense of balance has been restored to the McLaughlin household. \u00a0It was a bit rocky there but we have managed to right the ship. \u00a0Kevin and I are both happy now which is a very good thing. \u00a0It all started, you see, with the Wii.<\/p>\n
Yes, the Wii. \u00a0Kevin got this bonus from work. \u00a0He could log onto this prize site and pick a prize as a thank you for all the crazy hours he worked this summer. \u00a0He took one look at the list and jumped for joy when he saw the Wii system. \u00a0I looked at the same list and my heart was all a-flutter when I saw the Dyson. \u00a0There ensured a rough hour of cajoling and bartering and pleading of cases. \u00a0In the end, the Wii arrived and Kevin was ecstatic. \u00a0He loved playing and playing and playing. \u00a0Me? \u00a0I mopped about bewailing my dirty carpet situation. \u00a0The boat was threatening to capsize. \u00a0It wasn’t pretty.<\/p>\n
Then my dad gave me a gift card out of the blue and Kevin galantly added a gift card he had as well to my stash. \u00a0Suddenly the Dyson of my dreams was within reach! \u00a0 Add to it a random clearance sale and voila! \u00a0My Dyson arrived and I was esctatic! \u00a0I vaccumed. \u00a0I cleaned. \u00a0I was happy.<\/p>\n
So if you were walking you dog past our house yesterday and decided to peek into our front window, you would have seen a touching domestic scene. \u00a0Husband playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii while wife was vacuuming every square inch of carpet she could find.<\/p>\n
The kids? \u00a0Huh. \u00a0Good question. \u00a0I’m not sure what they were doing. \u00a0They were probably escatic to have a few hours of unsupervised time to themselves. \u00a0Although, that would explain why Artie had pink marker all over his head. \u00a0Poor thing. \u00a0Yes, it was good all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
