Can you believe it?! June 30th already! Where did the spring go?? Oh, yeah, we're still waiting for it.....ha ha. Just over 3 inches of rain this last Saturday morning, and yes, we are once again singing the blues. Or crying the blues. Trying to keep our heads above water. I'd post pictures, but I'm at work, and can't. (Check out Alyssa's blog!) Ditches are full and running over. Fields are full and running over. The water doesn't know which way to run cuz everything is full. So, it just sits there, cuz it can't go down. It can only go up, and you know what they say-what goes up must come down. Obviously thats what its doing in our little corner of the world. Just to draw out my woes a little more......my yard was just getting to the point where we thought we could start moving some dirt around to take care of some of our issues, and now, well, we're back to precious lakefront property.
The one nice thing that came from all this rain, was.........we caught up on some sleep this weekend. Two mornings of sleep ins. Even went grocery shopping together. Watched movies. Was wonderful! Too bad it takes 3 inches of rain to slow us down enough to enjoy relaxing.
Del has been working long hours at work, cuz farmers have been seeding and spraying-all at the same time. I've been working overtime hours, cuz there are just not enough nurses to work all the shifts. Jayde is done school and has been doing jobs at home, playing house keeper and yard man. Kyle is relieved that he only has a half day of school left today.
That is our life in a nutshell. Nothing really exciting. Routine. And that works for me. I'd like a long time of routine. No surprises. Nothing exciting. Just everyday, boring stuff.
Dad is doing well. He is still camping out in his trailer across the road. He's visiting around, going to town, and loving his cell phone. I get such a kick out of watching him on the cell. He is getting and sending texts! Such a 'cool' grandpa! He stopped by yesterday and played 3 games of chess with Jayde.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, that in our wonderful rain storm, the wind came and took down 3 old beautiful spruce trees, right in front/beside our house. Thankfully, they did not come down on the house.
It's 4 am, and this shift is slowly getting closer to completion. This has been a steady shift. Hospital is overful by 30%. That means we have no beds and are using the emergency room for admitted patients. But, we are still doing a wonderful job, being the caring nurses that we are!
Just to make your morning a little cheerier-imagine-6 months from now-Christmas will be over for another year! :-)
