At least today is peaceful, if nothing else.  I just got back from running my brother in law to his car, at a friend’s house.  Apparently he was too wasted to drive so somebody dropped him off at home.  Also apparently he and his dad got into a huge fight last night and he is intending to move out and stay with friends until he can find something a little more permanent for himself.  I don’t know any further details but he’s supposed to come over later so I can burn a CD for him, so I’ll hopefully find out more then so I know what we’re in for.  On the plus side, my brother in law actually seemed to take responsibility for the argument.  I asked him if his dad was just in another drunken rant at him, as he usually does, and when he sees him he just rips into him.  My BIL said that it was him, and that he got that way first and his dad just followed suit.  I’m sure it will have put his dad into a rotten mood, so I think I will avoid the farm for tonight perhaps.  Otherwise things are going smoothly.  My husband should be home in a half an hour or so, at which point we’ll leave and pick up a few things at the grocery store and then we also need to stop and get some crickets for the turtle.

I’ve got a couple of bills to write out, which I’ll probably do here in a few minutes once I decide I’m done here.  In a way, crazy haphazard weekends make the weekdays so much more appealing and worthy of being treasured.  The house is clean, we will not be hanging out with friends and don’t have to worry about turning them down because they already know we are off limits through the week, dad isn’t drinking yet and through the week he’s not as bad, everything is running smoothly and there’s plenty of time to sit and relax.  Later on we’re going to walk the dog, or at least I am if he doesn’t make time.  It would just be nice if both of us went on the walk, just something to enjoy together I suppose, but I already won’t be surprised if he gets occupied doing something at the farm, which is what usually happens.  I’m especially expecting that since his dad is probably in a foul mood, he’ll need to tend to him quite readily and in a timely manner.

Turns out that timing didn’t mesh up so my BIL had to go to work before we could burn the CD and talk about what happened last night.  Oh well, I’d rather stay out of it since my husband decided he wasn’t going to go over to the farm to do stuff tonight.  He decided he was just too tired, and I don’t blame him.  He got woken up at about 4:25am yesterday to go do snow removal and also he busted his rump at work today too, so he was beat by the time he got home.  We went grocery shopping, got plenty of food so we won’t need to be making any unnecessary stops through the week.  Also we picked up some soda for my husband so instead of spending $2 or more a day on that he can just take it from home, saving him about $10 for the week.  Now there’s plenty to eat here at home and no worries over ‘Oh crap what will we eat?’  On that note, I think its time to balance the checkbook after that shop and then soon it’ll be time that I can actually get on the internet to post this.
