I went missing for the last three days,as I was busy being a grandma. D#2 came down Friday with both babies and we planted flower boxes and ran with kids all day. I did not have time to squeeze in blogging, then daughter came down with Kelsa Saturday morning to help finish boxes, and she had a few errands to run in town. So no blogging then either.
We were able to sneak in an open house of one of daughters old childhood friends who just graduated from college late. It was fun to see the family and to see him moving on in his career. Then we went to Hub's show and it was so BAD. Not the pit but the show. The new director at the high school is not doing her job. I would like to say something positive but I can't. She did manage to appear on stage twice to explain and give thanks to people who did everything for her, blah, blah, blah. Nothing is worse for a young performer than to go out on stage ill prepared. It destroys their confidence. We left at intermission I just could not take it.
Sunday the kids took the boat out so we had Kelsa and Oliver and no blogging they all came back sunburned. I made a large pot of homemade chicken soup with homemade noodles as everyone is still hacking and snotting. No one is sick but the residual is getting to me.So far I have been immune thank goodness. Sunday evening Hubs and I did the missionary run up to Grangeville, Kamiah and Orophino. It took about 4.5 hours. The drive was beautiful. The rape fields are gorgeous this time of year.
The shop is crazy busy and I will be spending some major time in there today. My house which I tried so hard to clean late Thursday is well.... Babies do not make for clean anything. I am doing laundry today and have all three loads washed, one folded and the other two are waiting to dry.
We drove into the yard last night in the dark and found two bucks eating away at our salad bar (garden) so I see a scare crow in the future. Hubs threw rocks at them. They decimated my cabbages. I just have a few more things to get done outside with flowers boxes and the yard will be set for the summer.I actually got a little sunburn on my face Friday. I am a vampire and raised vampire children.
Well I have to get to work.
The list:
1. fill money envelope
2. go to bank
3. hem wedding dress and steam
4. fix bridesmaid dress
5. fix mother of the bride dress and steam
6. hem a pair of jeans
7. alter and hem bridesmaid dress
8. alter and hem a bridesmaid dress
The dryer just went off so I am going to fold the second load of laundry and transfer the third. It would be nice if I had a full time housekeeper.
Now off to the shop. My day is about to begin, what are you going to accomplish today?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

I was just going to look for an email and do a check-in to see if things were all good. I was worried after your last post was about Hubs being ill. I'm happy you were with grands and flowers and things nice in the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the concern.I am trying really hard to try and put the family first. Kim before would have squeezed in the blog and not spent time with kids telling them I was too busy. I was so busy while they were growing up, running from job to job and I missed so much. I am determined not to do that now. It is hard for me as I am a work a holic.
DeleteGreat post, I laughed out loud, especially the line about “it would be nice if I had a full time housekeeper”. I was thinking a similar thought this morning as I did laundry, put groceries away in the pantry and changed the bed…and made lunch etc etc. wouldn’t it be grand to have that all done by someone else ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is like never ending here. I mean my shop is a nightmare and the rest of the house is well just.... try not to track out please.
DeleteYou do have a full time housekeeper - YOU! LOL - I know not funny.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your plants - darned old ducks.
I know and I don't get paid enough! Hubs and I are having a fun time getting things together o build a scarecrow.
DeleteAs momma always said, money is green!!!!So happy your shop is providing good income for you! It is great you get to be a part of your grandchildren’s lives!!! I need a full time housekeeper because I am a hopeless mess, and it is just me....lol. Instead, I just embrace the mess.
ReplyDeleteWell I too embrace the mess at times. I just tell myself it is not that important. The mess you shall always have with you.
DeleteI need a full time housekeeper because I cannot do all this! I hate the deer had a good meal on you. I understand about the poor show, but do you think the kids might be discouraged to look up and see half the audience had left?
ReplyDeleteWell I don't think many left, but I know I did!
DeleteHousework??? What's that? I really have not done any heavy duty cleaning since I have started school. Just the basics. My first week off, I am going to chill, and THEN deep clean my apartment.
ReplyDeleteI used to just ignore and let things pile up when I was in school. The dirt can wait, the term paper can't.
DeleteHi! I am sorry there was sickness around! We had it here too. Coughing and sneezing and yuck! We have deer here too. They eat everything!!!!!!! Have a cozy evening. : )
ReplyDeleteI know and they just stand and look at you and continue eating. We are building a scar crow, although some days, I look like a scarecrow so I can just go stand over the garden.
DeleteI don't want a maid__I want someone named Hazel to live in my house and call me Missy, so I can wear heels and pearls.
ReplyDeleteI know. I want to be Missy. In fact I think we should start am I want to be Missy club.
