rex got home early today.
he made some comment about being concerned about me ... i said he should be.
he asked if i wanted to leave ... i said i'd already thought about it.
he said go ... i did.
i took my phone, my wallet & my camera.
he asked if i was going to go take pictures somewhere.
you just never know,
and at the end of the road i saw the poor cow.
yep, my life was not that bad -
i had a life!!
: )
but.oh.my.goodness.
why did i think i could have the bathroom cleaned before 11am and it was 4pm when i finished? actually i had wanted or it had needed to be cleaned for the last week an a half.
the boys tent had broken poles (thank you molly) and that made it extra difficult to pitch. those pull out then snap together ones ... apparently she pulled them too far. jack said he had the instructions - but i don't read french or german. it was also cutting into that bathroom cleaning time.
i might just not make it through another couch cushion fort. its their latest thing - forts, motor homes, houses. and with it they drag out every blanket from their beds - plus blocks & then they close the blinds & i don't know why that just bothers me?!
marbles - oh wow - i am not liking (ok honestly, worse than not liking) marbles right now. they are so very loud when they spill by the dozens on hard wood floor during nap time. when they seem to multiply like rabbits every place i look.
watering the chickens was an event that pretty much had the boys & me in tears. i mean really they came in over & over to whine and complain about the bees, the red ants & the other brother not helping.
and then not 2 hours after the bathroom was clean ... i sit down on pee on the seat.
for crying out loud!
ok, typing that now ... its kinda funny. but then, no not so much.
i went on a date monday night. i sat with theresa and had a pedicure tuesday. it was only wednesday - why was i seriously drowning?
something to do with being incredibly sinfully human ....
why wasn't i having one of those beautiful sister-in-law inspired days where we'd bake cookies together & turn them into ice cream sandwiches? those days where we take walks & have picnics & read stories. where beds are made & we don't fuss over high pig tails or low pig tails.
i even bought the ice cream ....
he was so beautifully good to let me go. it was just to bank ... he said to get a starbucks, but i bought crayons for school instead.
photographing dead cows, good music, butterscotch candy from the bank, boxes of crayons for 25 cents, a phone call ....
i came back ready to stay : )

some shots from today worth remembering -
yay for new days.
yay for husbands that get it.
yay for a great God.
one of the songs that plays loud when i'm alone - Jesus saves
