More New Furniture

We bought the rest of the living room furniture that we wanted this weekend. We had not originally planned to buy this for while, but when my chair broke, we figured that since we had to buy one piece, we might as well buy all of it. We bought the entertainment center and two of the one drawer and one of the two drawer tables from the Ming collection at pier one. It will still be a couple of weeks before we get the furniture, but we have made do with much left.

It is a wonderful feeling to know that almost every single piece of furniture in the house (except for RJ’s dresser, which my parents gave him) was purchased with Beth and brand new. There is nothing wrong with second hand merchandise, and many times I have had better luck with used goods, but it is a large milestone to me. I guess that it symbolizes how much of my life I have spent with my wife, and how much we have grown up together.

Sleepy

This has not happened in a long time: It is only 7:30 P.M. and both of the boys are asleep. Beth is at work. What am I supposed to do now?

First Blood

Tony has his first bloody lip today. This was largely thanks to RJ. Unfortunately I did not see what happened. I was not looking for about 10 seconds (literally, ten seconds) and RJ yelled that Tony got blood on him.

My initial response was that Tony had gotten some of RJ’s blood on him, since he has been getting some nose bleeds as of late. (Despite the nose bleeds, RJ continues to constantly pick his nose.) Upon closer inspection, Tony had hurt his lip.

Both of the boys were in the middle of the dining room, so there was nothing for Tony to have collided with except for RJ or the floor. Now the fact that Tony does not walk yet leaves only one cause, RJ.

I asked RJ what happened, but he said that he did not want to say. This is his usual response when he does something bad. I asked him if he had hurt Tony and he said yes but refused to elaborate.

I chalked the whole incident to boys will be boys, but RJ spent a good amount of time in his room because of this incident.

Unpacking

This has been a busy week.

We moved on Saturday, and spent most of the day on Sunday setting up the big things and changing the locks. Both Beth and I worked Monday and Tuesday, but I took the rest of the week off to unpack. I spent all day yesterday cleaning the old place so that I could get my deposit back.

OK, back to unpacking.
