Can you believe it? April 28

Joe loves his job, and I'm happy that he does.  He works very odd hours but we're both ok with that.  But when he has more than 2 days off in a row he starts to drive me batty.  He just doesnt know what to do with himself.  See the problem is....there is so much to do that he doesnt know where to start.  Today I took him to Lowe's and told him to buy everything he needed to do this project he wants to do.  So we priced everything and totaled it up and it looked like a reasonable price that we could handle......and then he hems and haws and says "forget it".  He had bitched about doing this project for weeks and now he "doesnt feel the time is right".  Okay, so what do you feel like doing then?  Um, lets just go home.  Uh, no.  You're going to buy something to keep you busy before we leave here. So we argue and I get so fed up, we leave empty handed. See, and whats going to happen is this....let me do alittle fortune telling.  Scenario: I start school on May 15th and will have absolutely NO free time.  On May 16th he'll want to start a very complex project and he'll need my help lifting or nailing something every 20 minutes or so. Ultimately I either kill him or study in my car on the side of the highway with my kids in the backseat. 

Ok, other than that, today has been lovely.  Its 75 and mild, the wind is blowing alittle and the sky is cloudless.  The back 2 acres has been cleared of brush but we cant start burning until May 1.  Once we burn all the debris, we can bring in someone to grade the land and maybe add some topsoil.  Its going to take some time but eventually it will be grassy and nice.  I wanted to buy a nice shed to put all my lawn stuff in but ,of course, Joe assures me he can build a shed cheaper and wont let me get the shed I want. 

Anyway, Averys bus is coming so I have to go.

Toodles.
