Maybe I Spoke Too Soon.....

I think I may have spoken too soon about being SO excited about Jamey being off all week next week. I can already tell that we may possibly get on each other's nerves before it is over with.

He has all of the wonderful projects planned for next week...mainly things he wants to get done in the yard....stump grinding, pressure washing, removing/burning brush and weeds from this wonderful drainage ditch that runs through our side yard. I know that before all is said and done he is going to get mad, some piece of equipment is going to malfunction/break, the weather will not cooperate, he will spend a whole lot more money than he planned and he may possibly hurt himself before the week is out. I dread it. He is pretty good at everything he tries to do but he is such a perfectionist that every little task takes FOREVER and my husband is plagued with a pretty healthy case of plain ole bad luck. I used to chide him for saying so but now that I have been with him for close to 10 years, married and living with him for almost 7 I have concluded that it is the truth. At times his luck it so bad you just have to laugh...I am trying to teach him to laugh about it...he is slowly coming around.

So, here is how I see next week going....he is going to be outside busy as a bee...probably getting about 1/3 of the things done he plans on getting done while I carry on like normal with the kids, housework and my daily trips to the gym. Oh yeah, and the added stress of trying to keep Riley and Samuel away from him while he is working with power tools, stump grinders, hedge trimmers, weed eaters, pressure washers and FIRE!!!!! That should be a blast!!! Everyone knows that kids gravitate toward the parent trying to get things done that cannot involve the help of such said children. Yay for next week!!!! Can't wait!!!

I am going to do everything in my power to try to get him talked into all of us taking a little day trip to....well...somewhere...anywhere...even if it just to a local State Park for a picnic or something. We'll see.

Better run for now....a hope the remainder of your Sunday is great!!!!!
