I think if I ever have a stroke, nobody will know. It's not uncommon for me to space off, answer questions with a slur of non-words and look confused. That's me every day. I don't know why I just thought of that...I just hope I never have a stroke is all.
Due to the recent sunshine and warm weather, I have been unusually busy working on the yard. Kenny was, too. He first had to fix the lawnmower, which meant that he sat in the driveway cursing for about an hour, then mowed for an hour, then sat in the driveway cursing for another hour, then finished mowing. Something about a bolt that isn't the right size but Tractor Supply had to special order the right one so he had to do the best with what he had...or something...what I observed was that the deck on the riding mower would just fall off occasionally as he was mowing. And here's another example of something that I find hilarious, while Kenny does not see the humor in it at all. By the second deck-falling-off incident, I found myself hiding behind a tree just so Kenny wouldn't see me laughing. I suppose if I had to fix it myself, it wouldn't be nearly as amusing, but I am not a fixer. I am a here-can-you-fix-this-for-me?'er.
Aside from yard work, we got to deliver baskets of candy to the retirement home and clean up a highway for 4H. Well, I didn't clean. I just watched the kids clean. Mae definitely doesn't get her work ethic from me or Kenny. I observed her twice rolling down hills when she was supposed to be gathering trash. She then was the sole 4H'er to get attacked by ants, which actually had nothing to do with her rolling down hills. While she did not inherit my work ethic...she DID inherit my luck. Poor kid. She also has a new, big, blue bruise from softball practice from catching the ball...with her ankle. That's ma' girl!
So that's our weekend and weekbeginning in a nutshell. School music program tonite, back to work on Thursday, my sister graduates college on Friday, and birthday party on Saturday. This will be a great week. :)
