No, Seriously What Holiday Is It!?

Apparently today is some kind of Holiday as I have been getting several calls this morning inquiring as to whether or not we are open. Not to mention the fact that the kids have school off today.  But I rarely associate most of their days off as holidays as they seem to have SO many!  Teacher day this, and study day that and conferences and what have you.  In lieu of the fact that they did NOT have school we made a calculative error and allowed some to stay up later then usual.  Owen and Rozy are on Daddy's "poo-poo" list, as their attitudes and behavior of late has been less the exemplary"!  Talking back, arguing, fighting constantly between themselves (they are less then a year apart in age and them being together is like putting a fire out with kerosene!) and their unwillingness to clean up after themselves much less help in the household duties has left Mama in a quandary.  This left me to do the whole "Wait until your father gets home" bit.  General rule, groundation, and each further transgression resulting in another day added to their sentence.  The level of vitriol generated by this resulted in their one day groundation stretching to three for Owen and an additional week for Rozy.  Yep, they really don't know when to cut their losses! 
Yesterday marked Angi and I being together for twenty years.  Now, for the record we were not married until the twentieth of this month, and as such, it being the "officially legal" sanction of our union (occurring seven years after we met) I had planned the real festivities for that date.  Angi, on the other hand had anticipated a celebration yesterday.
Oops.
But, to her credit there was not much of a fuss.  Instead we just took the day to hang out and relax.  I spent some time with the kids (minus the two in their rooms) while Angi took some quiet "Me" time.  Then, as she puttered on her IPAD I sat next to her puttering with Magic cards, occasionally sharing what each other was working on.  It was all in all a pleasant day off.
Saturday was less then stellar, but that was not for a lack of folks coming in!  We had many looky loo's but had less then anything to show them!  Later in the day I did manage to pick up a SWEET classic Schwinn World Sport road bike though!  It's one we sold two years ago, and the gent traded it in.  We didn't have to do to much to it as he kept it in top shape.  We only had to replace one tire and upgrade the bottom bracket to a sealed one.  Also, put out a cool looking men's cruiser with a split top tube, and decked it out with a full re-furb and new tires!  The remainder of the day was consumed with repairs and trying to update our new "Parts Department" listings.  But today we still have several more to get out, so I will go ahead and sign off now to get a jump on that! 
See ya soon!
