Time sure flies by:) I worked Friday - supposed to be 10 hours, but got sent home after 8 due to parts problems or something. So, I got a little more sleep! Friday morning, around 10am, I was laying in bed with a pillow over my head, seeing if I could get a little more sleep when my husband came in and lifted the pillow up, put a piece of paper/letter in front of my face - a temporary job offer for Truck and Bus in Flint!!! He is to start this Monday:) YIPPEE and Praise the Lord! I told him I can't wait for him to be as miserable as I am! Don't get me wrong, I am thankful to be working, but oh, so TIRED! This shift is hard for me to get used to. But, this week was better! I believe they'll be laying the group I came in with off the second week in August. Just in time to get ready for school again!
The summer is flying by! In the mornings, the girls go outside with Daddy so mom can get some sleep and it's so sweet to see them out there with him! Lyndsay will go out there in her PJ's and mud boots! This morning, she went out there in her sundress and princess shoes. I went to check on her and 4 of the hens were following her - too cure! Daddy gets a lot more attention now that mom's been working!
Wednesday we had the broiler chickens butchered. We started with 107 and ended up with 66:( That was in part thanks to the dog! Oh well, the experience is invaluable - right? Jeremy, Brooke and Curt ended up bagging them all and weighing each one. They ranged from 5lbs to 10lbs! Nice birds!
Hubby's been busy mowing (he also mowed the pasture) after putting new spindles, blades, etc. on the mowing deck - the rocks are torture on our lawn mower out here. No matter how many times we go over the area, rocks keep popping up! He is always doing something in the garden - tilling, weeding, fertilizing, watering! Definitely the biggest garden we've had to date! He fertilized and put roundup on the corn out back as well. Next, the hay fields need fertilizer! Looking into a moisture tester for the hay to insure the dryness before baling. We hope to make some money from this venture! Half of the time, he's not in from working outside when I call on my lunch at 10pm!
Today, we had an open house to go to. I hung a few loads of laundry on the line today, cleaned house a bit more, watched the kids playing with some friends who came to get some chickens, then supper, and too tired to go see the fireworks at some dear friends' house tonight - really missed the fellowship, but knew the kids would fall asleep on the way there after getting a lot of fresh air today! Saturday nights, it's easier to get the kids bathed and in bed early to make sunday mornings go easier! Tomorrow is church, then a birthday bash for an 80 year old Great Uncle! Then, Monday monday again! So, have a great Lord's Day!
