I've gotten about 7 hours of sleep the last 2 nights, but still doesn't seem like enough! This morning I woke up later than planned - we came home from Heather's at midnight last night after working on the stall again and must've been tired - set it wrong! I still made it to Lyndsay's doctor appointment at 9am and took all of the kids with me while Jeremy went to Millington to work on tractor stuff. We got Lyndsay all taken care of - 13lbs, 4oz and 4 shots later much to a baby's dismay who was so devastated she took a long nap afterward. Off to Grandma Melchor's we went to talk over open house stuff for Amber's open house. Then, off to Sam's club I went to buy some things for Amber's open house. Most everything else now is just waiting until a few days before to buy the fresh stuff and buying more pop the next few weeks as I find it on sale! Then, we stopped at the Food court at the mall to eat before coming home. I thought about looking for a new dress for a wedding we have coming in 2 weeks, but I was too tired to look! Amber stayed at the mall to meet up with Mrs. Newbold (youth pastor's wife) for lunch. We came home and I vegged on the couch with Lyndsay for a half hour or so before deciding there is too much to be done to lay around. So, in my room I went and started cleaning - I just finished cleaning the computer desk off and here I am! I guess I needed a break already! Erin is taking a much needed nap - I think she fell asleep before her head hit the pillow!
Yesterday was a good day, didn't get ready in time to go to breakfast for my birthday, but starved myself instead cuz I knew I'd be going to Red Lobster for dinner after church for my birthday! We ate a wonderful meal with my Mother in law, Len, Jenni, Alli, and Jessi and Jeremy, Isaac, Erin and Lyndsay. It was a great time visiting and I got a few nice gifts as well that I can't wait to set up! I have been a little weepy this week, maybe it's turning 40, maybe it's missing Danielle a little more than usual, maybe it's Amber moving on with her life, maybe it's being tired bringing all of that on, who knows!? We stopped at a few Home Depots in Flint to see if they had any horse fence with no luck. Came home, went to church again and then went to my sister's to work on the stall. Jeremy got one side of boards up while we cleaned in the lean to next to the barn to make room for hay. The kids were extremely tired out and passed out as soon as we put them in bed! Amber and Brooke stayed at Heather's to help her with a colicky horse again and came home a little after 1am.
I am now waiting to hear from my husband to see where he's at and what is next! Never a dull moment around here! I don't know when I find the time to fit work in! Today, weather permitting, Jeremy, Heather and I are going to go on a horseback ride down the dike across from Heather's house and see how the horses behave while together outside the arena. I'd better start praying that I don't get bucked off, or none of us do for that matter! But, I'm sure it will be fun!
Well, I'm off to get the boys busy doing some more chores for me - the van needs vacuuming out and then I'm off to clean my bathroom! The kids will be glad to see me go back to work after all the work I'm having them do today! I was going to push mow the trim, but it's raining again so I'll have to wait until the next sunny patch of clouds come through!
I took a bunch more pictures, but (think I'm too tired?), no CF card in the camera again - I left it in the computer after putting the last batch of pictures on the blog:( Sorry!
Have a great day! Chris
