Thursday night...

I'm waiting to go to bed... We seemed to have caught a stomach virus or something - our babysitter was sick Wednesday so who knows? Jeremy really wasn't feeling well tonight and even came home before dark from the property! I plan on spending tomorrow night in Millington at the camper so I thought I'd post a little tonight. I had Monday off and we didn't have any power from 4:30am til 11:30am. Jeremy said I picked a bad day to take off - it was cold and rainy. But, I took a little siesta with Lyndsay at 9am til Erin woke up at 9:30am and took a nice swim in the hot tub with Erin in the afternoon while Lyndsay napped. A leisure day for me which doesn't happen very often. I went out and mowed the lawn (which I thoroughly enjoy doing) after that while Lyndsay napped again! So, I feel like I had a great day off for the most part! Tuesday night, I got hot dogs ready for supper at the camper and went to Millington with Jeremy. He took off to disc the field so our neighbor could plant corn. I was going to start the campfire so we could roast the hot dogs (easy right?). I went to light our handy dandy propane torch (Tim the tool man would be proud) and held it too close to the ground while waiting to get a match to stay lit. BOOM - backdraft right into my face and knocked me to the ground. I stood up, saw smoke coming from my head, thought I might be on fire and dropped and rolled! I got up, asked Isaac (eyeballs as big as saucers) if I was on fire anywhere - he nodded NO. My arms and nose were burning! Poured water over both and felt my hair - very scary! My hair was singed and stuck together - so much for my highlights and cut the week before. I found some antibiotic cream in the camper and applied that, then went to my father-inlaw's to wash my hair and see what the damage was. Lots of hair in the tub. Tonight I went and had my stylist fix it for me and it looks fine now - thank the Lord! I have no nose hairs left and most of the hair on my arms is gone. I singed some of my eyelashes off and have a blister on the end of my nose and my left nostril! I also have a burn on the inside of my left elbow. I'm glad I had my glasses on because my eyebrows and the rest of my lashes would probably be gone! It took Isaac and I an hour to find my glasses! Jeremy said he would light the campfires from now on:) I did go back and get it lit and roasted hot dogs for dinner! We didn't get home until late. Last night there was an accident on the highway on the way home so we didn't get home until 5:30pm. My sister watched the kids for us yesterday and when we got there to pick them up she had a delicious spaghetti dinner waiting for us! Thank you Heather! I'm way behind on laundry (and everything else), so tonight we caught up on that a little - I was gone for 2 hours with the haircut appt., meijer's and TSC stops. Thank goodness the kids are having a picnic at school tomorrow and don't need lunches and we ordered a rib dinner to split for lunch at work, so that made getting everything ready for tomorrow a little easier! Hopefully I'll post with more exciting news from this weekend at the farm and pictures as well! And, don't worry, I'll leave the campfires to Jeremy!

Have a great weekend,

Chris
