Where did the kitchen go??

Well folks, my computer is back from the dead, so first order is to update the blog. I am just finishing up a week away from work, a much needed break from the rat race we call the Clinton Herald. While on Vacation, i decided to try my hand at installing granite countertops in the kitchen at home, something i will never try again. That stuff really is heavy. After two days of securing, transporting, cutting and carrying this rock,i have no feeling in my fingers, but i sure do have feeling in my back.
With everything torn up in the kitchen, we have been eating on the fly, ordering in, or going out for dinner, and it has been difficult keeping the "Got a Minute" promise, but we are still on track. Wednesday was our wedding anniversary, so in between ripping the old countertop out and sweeping up dirt, we managed to get some chinese food and sit down in the dining room for supper. Our oldest son has come back to the roost of late, so the conversation is a little more lively, what with the siblings arguing and all.
i do believe, through the "Got a MInute" campaign, we have slowly become closer to our children. I can also see the cahnges in them. they have come to enjoy our sit down dinners, and i think they look forward to them now. These are the things we need to be doing if we want to keep our kids out of trouble.
