I forgot what it's like to be the house boss and have to do a bunch of stuff all by myself, but Six going back to work five days a week has been a REAL snap back to the world of how things go!
Now that he's gone all day I have to feed everyone in the barn yard which consists of the sheep the chickens the guineas the geese the ducks the goat the pig the donkeys the llamas and the peacocks.
Then everyone in the house, the fish the birds the dogs and the cats.
Then I have to doctor the gimpy lamb that the goose bit, bottle feed the other three clowns and then send them all out to sheep school in the barnyard so someday they can take care of themselves and move out of my garage.
Oh, and I have to feed Rocket Rabbit who needs to be plucked and spun.
Then I have to do all the other stupid inside stuff like laundry, cooking and dishes.
I could go on, but I'll spare you the rest of the ugly details about cleaning toilets, mopping floors and then somehow still finding time to keep up with everything on my DVR, Facebook, Pinterest and Draw Something.
It snowed here last week.
And then the power went out.
And then I think I got asphyxiated because I carefully set my phone down in a full cup of coffee.
Oh well I got a really cool new phone so it's all good.
WYATT GOT A HAIRCUT YESTERDAY!
He hasn't had one since last May.
I picked up Wendy and the cutest grannybaby in the whole world ever to go to Ikea and run a bunch of errands and then I sprung it to him in the car traveling fifty-five miles an hour down the highway so there was no getting away.
His eyes filled with tears as he hung his head and started to shake, but I'm older and have a bigger brain and this isn't my first go-round with a mood induced teenager and I wheeled that truck into the hair cutting place, drug him out by his little purple bangs and with the threat of computer removal from his room he silently sat awaiting the inevitable.
And he looks FANTASTIC!
And of course he loves it and spent the rest of the night in front of the mirror in the big bathroom with a bucket of Axe hair grease styling and spiking his new do.
He also cleaned his room.
Go figure.
I have found time to do a little soaping.
I made Sexy Little Things by Victoria Secrets for Deb to get back in her good graces after running an expose on to cross or not to cross your legs when you pee.
She's a crosser.
The soaps will be on Etsy soon :)
K, gotta go.
Peas.
The whole cross your legs still has me befuddled. I'm going straight upstairs to try it myself now.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I couldn't tell you, cuz I don't even think I own a skirt. But! The little girls in my care used to do that too, so maybe it's based on age?
Delete#1, I got tired just reading your list of chores...
ReplyDeleteToday all I did was got to work for 5.5 hours, leaving early because slush was falling straight down from the sky and I hate driving 40mph and getting hit with slushy-tsunamis from oncoming traffic. Then I cleaned the 5 stall barn, hauled the manure out to the field, took hay out to the feeders, cleaned buckets, set out feed for tonight, watered up, brushed the barn cat (who looks a bit like your rabbit, only fierce and handsome - wonder if you could spin his hair?), set up hay for tomorrow morning, drove the quad down the road so the bitch could get a little run in, came in and put away groceries, unloaded the dishwasher, made supper, cleaned the kitchen, and then treated myself to a cup of tea.
I like these lists! It makes it seems like I had a big day too; I'm definitely going to lay it like that for hubby if he asks what I did all day. heh heh heh
Wow, that's a haircut! I haven't had mine cut since May either - but not because I haven't wanted to.
ReplyDeleteYour soaps look amazing. And your bunny is cute :-)
The haircut looks wonderful! The soaps look great too. I like the sound of the rosemary mint.
ReplyDeleteThat sweet bunny needs to be plucked and spun SO bad... I should probably be locked up and put in angora bunny jail!
