Wednesday night at work I was going to do a post, can't remember about what, and I couldn't believe it!!! We are not allowed to access any blogs once again. Hmmm. I don't know whats going on there!!
I've enjoyed my Thursday and Friday. Yesterday, I slept till almost noon. Then after having lunch, the boys and I went to the elementary school in town and finished painting the playground equipment, along with Andrea and her kids. The PAC had done most of the painting in June, but due to weather and such, the finishing was delayed until now. So we finished the tops of the swing sets and the soccer posts. It all looks wonderful!!! When we got home, I actually lay down again, and had a nap. Made homemade pizza for supper, and then I went outside to spray Round-Up on the weeds that are trying to take over my yard. It's dark so early-by 9! Once I got in I remembered that work had a bake sale in the morning to raise funds for cable and tv's for all patient rooms. So, I baked cake and cupcakes. Good thing I had that nap. Today we went out for breakfast and then the boys went to my parents to help my dad with his garage sale. My parents are bringing them home sometime soon. I've washed floors, done laundry, cleaned my kitchen, cleaned up some fruit and cucumbers. No I didn't eat them all. I have the fruit all peeled and cut up in the fridge to eat along with a lemon dip I made. The cucumbers are sliced and sitting in a brine on the counter for Fridge Pickles. The steak is marinating and the baked potatoes are on the counter, ready for BBQing for supper.
Tomorrow its back to work for the start of 3, 12 hour day shifts. What timing! Start of harvest and I'm stuck at work. Then it'll be 9 days off to-harvest, start moms chemo, and clean out moms garden.
Del is out swathing barley at the present. The majority of the canola is down. The remainder of the canola is too wet to swath.
And.......we are getting culverts and a ditch for our yard. They are actually working on it right now. They started yesterday. They have one more culvert to put in, and then they're making a ditch the length of our yard. Hopefully this will help some of our drainage issues. Then its up to us to landscape the yard appropriately so the water drains to the ditch. I can hardly wait to see the water drain next spring!!! :-)
What awesome weather yesterday and today. Temps of 22/23 and sunshine. Perfect summer days. Light breeze. I love it!
Had a discussion at work the other day about relationships. What makes a couple seperate after 30 years of marriage? Whats an appropriate reason to leave your spouse?? What does it take to make a marriage last?? Is it good to stay together 'for the kids'? I don't know all the answers. I'd be rich if I could answer those questions. Or maybe if I could make people do what I think it would require. Relationships aren't easy. They don't happen by themselves. Constant work. Give and take. Forgiveness. And more give.....Love is an all encompassing word. There's a song, remember it?? Love is patient, love is kind, .......based on a Bible passage. Did I mention, I don't have all the answers?? Just lots of thoughts and questions. Makes for an interesting discussion. Right, Mich??
Two more days to go this month. Feeling much better about August. Still not wanting the kids to go back to school next week, but its coming regardless. I'm going to go make a to-do list for them for this weekend, while I'm at work. Have a wonderful long weekend!
