Whispers...

This week has been Spring Break for the boys. It's rained most all week. There have been a few brief moments of dry and unfortunately for the kids, it's been during the times we've had to be running all over the place and they couldn't be outside playing. Lucky for us, they've pretty much taken it all in stride. It's a shame, we really had been having some nice spring time weather before this. In that manner of speaking this week has indeed been a break from spring. I'm sure it's not what the kids had hoped for. I have to say, it's been a let down for me too. Though I've basically had to work all week at the store so I've not really had any time at home with them. Yesterday was really my only day off and I had a lot of running to do because we won't be able to make it to Scouts tonight. I'm very blessed that my parents are stepping up to take care of everything.

Yesterday was our break from the rain and we were packed with things to do. A lot of it was based on the lack of rain though. By yesterday afternoon I'd covered 4 counties and was still running. We went to Khristie's to help her and her Dad put some fencing up along the farm. Khristie then got the bright idea for us to go get Daffodil bulbs to plant in our yards. Not that I'm not a flower fan but this wasn't about going to a nursery and getting them, this was going somewhere they grow wild and pulling them up. We got them alright with a short trip in her little Gator golf cart. Then in a detour on the way back to the house we ran out of gas. So what do we do? We end up pushing the stupid thing back to the house. No Mom, we didn't let the kids push while we sat inside. Jess just took the picture because it looked funny. We all pushed in one way or another and Khristie's little one did the stearing. With a lot of heaving and hoing, we got it back up over the hill and gave it one more good shove before jumping in and coasting back down the other side.

Yesterday was fun. Silly, but fun. Today...I hurt like heck. My hands are sore from gripping the fencing pliers that I used to secure the clips. My back and shoulders hurt from pushing the Gator. My legs are scratched up from being run through the briars while I pushed the Gator...thanks Khristie! This wonderful rain is killing my sinusesand making my head pound and my ears ache. If I hurt this bad now, I'm in trouble when I get older. I have to say, I'm looking forward to getting a break from Spring Break! Next week I'm working a shorter schedule and I'll find some time for the tanning bed. I promise this, I'm going to spend a whole day in bed, if anyone has a problem with it they can write it on a piece of paper and light it on fire. Lord, I'm in trouble when Summer comes!
