Tuesday, Little engine days!


 I think sometimes I live by this motto. I am very good at hiding my true feelings. What are my true feelings?  I don't really want to dwell on that, so let's get to work!

Dan has finished the second garden bed.  Now I can replant carrots, radishes and beets.  It is only the third time no big deal! The money and the time I have put into this garden area is absurd. But I will win dangit!

Good news and boys from our ward are coming over this evening to finish weeding the hill. I will only have them for an hour, but 8 to 10 boys can pull a lot of weeds.  I am going to set a sprinkler down there this afternoon to help loosen the soil. I hate to waste water on weeds, but the more that come out the less I have to deal with.

Actually, saw a blossom on the cucumber plant, so if it is not eaten off tomorrow, I will know that we are going in the right direction. 

I was able to get my quota done yesterday and I had a bride here this morning and I will finish her dress before I start on today's work.  I need to add some lace to the arm area and hooks in the back to reinforce.  Then I just have to steam, and she is done. Hoping to get all this done in an hour.

I have a mother of the bride dress to hem and a flower girl dress to alter, and I have already ripped out the flower girl dress.  Then I have another dress to hem with horsehair braid so that is my crappy task for the day.  If I can get all this done, I will be on schedule. * Snort*, Kim is on a schedule..... Imagine?

I am in my little engine that could routine.  Here I thought this was my easiest June ever, I had things so under control. Well, that blew by really fast as I swear people are just not planning ahead and coming in later and later to get things done.  It is crazy.  But as I am motivated by money I seem to say yes. I think I can, I think I can, turns into I know I can if I work hard enough.

I have two wedding dresses getting picked up tomorrow, so that is less in the shop, and makes me happy. I also cannot forget that I have a few piles.  They are under all the wedding dresses. Have to get them on the schedule.

Well, that wedding dress awaits and I am going to set a timer!

Have a great and productive day

God is good
