A glimpse into Chaos. 😉
Yesterday was full. Left the house at seven thirty for football practice, scrimmages and weigh-in. That was done around twelve thirty. Five. Hours. It has rained so much here lately, the humidity is something else. It was a long, long, hot morning.
We returned home only to face backed up yard work. The hubby had another place to be in the afternoon, so I mowed while he edged and worked the weed eater. We have a huge yard. I felt better when I thought about the calories I burned. But, he took off with his near daily two hour trip to check up on our car wash only to find that someone had poured gasoline into one of the pits. Took him more hours in the heat to break down this deadly gift left by some inconsiderate person. Grr. We won’t even go into some of the other gifts left there.
I set my son up to finish mowing the back yard while I showered and then I raced into the city for Brooke Taylor’s book launch for Undone!
This was a part of my day I looked forward to. Oh, she looked stunning and so happy! It was a lovely book launch. Too bad I forgot to bring a camera.
I do wish I had bothered to eat before going. With the long day, hard work and no food, I was a jittery, chatty mess. The sun had given me a headache so I’d popped two Advil before leaving. Poor Malena Lott got the brunt of my incoherence when I first arrived.
But, you should have seen me trying to work Rachel’s new phone–or the camera part of it. I’d hit critical brain death at that point. I later told her I shouldn’t be allowed out of the house. 😉
All rested up today, but the free day has the hubby all kinds of excited. He’s putting together a list of deep cleaning and repair projects. It’s nine a.m. and he’s already pulled out kitchen appliances.
I should have known I was in trouble when I stumbled in here this morning to find him already watching the Diy Network. Sigh.
