Two posts in two days

Wow I'm on a small roll here!! Two post in two days! Don't get to spoiled. DH is out planting! That's right PLANTING! Out here in IA farmers are like bats outta hell the minute the weather get's nice. My DH included. I'm pretty impressed that they are planting this early. See DH and his family move very slow. Maybe not always on purpose. We usually have MANY breakdowns and we don't work when it get's dark. They are slowly getting nicer equipment so things move a little better. It's DH and his brother that do a majority of the farming. So right now DH is plowing and bro comes behind planting. I think they are probably planting corn. Corn can handle a little cooler weather as it is planting deeper then soybeans.

Have I lost any of you? Questions?

But in my life today it's been kind of crazy. The day started off with the kids and I sleeping till almost 745!! That is a record!! At 9 a contractor came over to take a look at some jobs i want him to do. See that's my other thing with planting season. Every season I try to tell DH no planting till XY& Z are done. Well 3 years later XY&Z aren't done. SO this year I came up with a plan. He'd better get as much done around here prior to planting or I'll use HIS line of credit at the bank (for farming) to complete things around here. So right now i have my $ for being on the board of directors BUT anything over and beyond that, I'm using his line of credit. I really don't like doing this, well ok maybe a little bit, but enough is enough. This house needs some things done to it.

So contractor came over and will get back to me with estimates. He worked last year on triming so lets see C got his hair cut and I got my eyebrows waxed. Then off to the bank and on to Shannan’s. Dean and C didn’t get a long to well. Dean really has a hard time sharing and he’ll end up pushing or spanking C which leaves C in tears. Shannan will jack Dean up, Dean wails goes in to the bedroom until he can pull himself together, comes out says he’s done goes back to playing and then it starts all over again!! I have a hard time really saying much to C b/c all I hear is Dean saying ‘no cason that mine’ At one point I put the ‘excavater’ (yes deans knows what every piece of machinery is) up b/c they couldn’t share it. That was fine with C but Dean had a hissy fit. So yeah we stayed a/b 1 ½ and it was time to go by then. I’m not sure what to think of Dean. He’s so smart in some ways and I think socially he is SO behind.

Then the kiddos napped and I was going to get my spring clothes out only to open the attic door to a mess of pictures. The tote they were in had fallen. What a MESS!! 1,000+ pics everywhere. So I went through some of them and pitched many. Then I sorted them and brought the wedding/honeymoon pics BACK upstairs. Got up there lost my balance and the pics fell back down the steps. Luckly only a/b 500 this time HAHAHA. Good grief…but wait it gets more depressing. Going through my clothes and NONE of them fit. I mean like 80% don’t fit!! So I’m washing them and giving some to the babysiiter and the nicer ones I’m taking to the consignment store. Gosh darn it tho I’m no longer NEAR a size 6 anymore and closer to the 9/10. It’s the darn stomach of mine. I have a pear shape body now. I really think lypo suction is what I need more then lasik surgery.

Then jeff’s niece is visiting so I took her out to eat with me. Came home and she gave the kids a bath in the sink while I showered, in PEACE, upstairs!! I came down to water EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere. Just now I opened the door under the sink and water came pouring out!!! And speaking of water I went upstairs to put Addie to sleep and her humidifier had leaked water EVERYWHERE! Golly as I tell you all of this you’d think I’d be in a bad mood, but I’m not. But i'm tired!! The house is very quite haven't had the TV on all day. I think while typing this post is the longest i've sat all day.

I work harder at home then I do at work!!
