Wednesday, It finally rained!

 Well I bribed hubs with french toast for lunch ( he doesn't get much bread) if he would please go out and spray the weeds.  It is a heavy long job as we have almost an acre.  He was so pleased with lunch and then..... 1.5 hours after he finished spraying we had a rain storm that was not forecast.  It has been cloudy and it looked like rain for days but no rain and we so desperately need it.  The farmers are panicking and the fire season is upon us early.

So now we don't know if the spray worked as you are not supposed to water for two hours after it is applied. I told hubs to wait a few days and see if any of it takes and maybe we get lucky.  But we both were sure happy about the rain regardless. Although it ruined any outside work I planned on getting done.

All I did yesterday was a sew on wedding dresses.  I had 4 steamed and ready to go in the shop and you cannot move in there.  One was picked up yesterday and two more are due out today, freeing up some space.  I started on the piles of pants, but gave up late in the day as my back just could not take it anymore.

So today, it is the piles and only one wedding dress that will have a lot of hand work which I can do tonight. But first thing today while the sun shines for a while I am going out to get the flower boxes done and fertilized. Then I will hit the sewing room.  I don't trust the weather and we are supposed to get more rain in the next few days.

Our eldest and her two boys are due in on Friday for a long weekend.  I want to be as caught up as I can so I don't have to worry about the shop while they are here. Yesterday daughter brought Kelsa down while her and her hubby went on errands. They both had a car as daughter was getting her oil changed. So Kelsa arrives at about 1 p.m. and she is so stinking cute.  I have to make myself go into the shop and Hubs cares for her.  Daughter returns from her errands and is sitting on the sofa getting Kelsa ready to go, and she suddenly pops up and tells me she forgot something in the bedroom.  I asked what, and she said a NAP!

So hubs has Kelsa who scooted all over the house and played and played.  Finally hubs has to leave for the High school and I am making dinner and Kelsa collapses in his arms and goes into a deep sleep.  So that little bugger was up from early morning until 5 p.m. just playing and chortling. No wonder daughter is exhausted. I moved her into bedroom next to daughter and they both slept until almost 7 p.m.  Daughter had told her husband she was helping me.  Yeah she sure was.  I laughed at her as she left to drive up the hill.  I told her "Thanks for the help!" Kelsa is a handful and does not nap, but at least she is happy.

DO any of you remember those days of young motherhood and how tired you were?  I sure do.

Well I am off to get that fertilizing done and then I am going to chain myself to the sewing machine.  No rest for the wicked.

Butter is on sale for $1.77 limit two and diet coke is also on a good sale, so other that snacks for the boys that is all I am buying for groceries.  Oh yes and brats, are also on sale.  I really need to make a couple of batch's of cookies.  Add that to the list.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
