Thursday Afternoon Ramble

I had to think pretty hard to figure out what day it was just now which should tell you what kind of week we are having....BUSY BUSY.

But right now it's quiet in here, kids are having a picnic on the trampoline, Papa had to run to town and S is asleep, so I'm taking 5 minutes to myself with a cuppa joe, and letting the vit E soak into my hands. I have one non sticky finger to finger type with. 

L and E just finished Grade 3!!!! Yay! J has chosen to finish tomorrow. He has to record a puppet show yet :) 

Our trench for the electrical and water line will be dug this afternoon and we are also getting a load of sand today. 

This morning we cleaned house as 4 days is too long to leave it and Tuesday I was on the couch with a fever, mastitis I'm pretty sure, and the housework did not get done. 

Yesterday we spent in the city almost doubling our money spent on house this spring. OUCH! But it was a good thing all around. We got a lot of stuff! Lots of it goes into this trench project...I can honestly say I was still recovering from the day before and I really am unsure what it was he all got. Hot water set up and bathroom fans system I do know. Electrical pole stuff and cable. We, just Papa, S and I are going back tomorrow to pick countertops/ sinks etc for kitchen and bathrooms. The kids are staying home with Mrs. M. and will have a blast I'm sure! 

Monday Papa worked and I painted some more floors and stained some walls. 

There now your caught up on the week. Tonight I have Bible study and Papa may take the kids to go get a load of bales or he might still be doing trench things. Last night when we talked about it the trench was still being dug in the morning, now it's been pushed to afternoon so who knows. 

I will say it takes a long time to type with one finger!! Lol. 

So I'm thankful for: Feeling better :) Money spent :) Trench day :) School almost 100% done :) S's new tooth :) Mrs. M and her persistence :) A clean house :) Busy days :) Bible study :) 

And my odd one of the day is candles... Why is that odd you ask? 

Last winter our orange male cat got caught in the engine compartment of the truck, got hurt badly and raced under the house before we could do anything about it. Hasn't been seen since. Unfortunately we can now smell him. Gag. It's really nasty in the kids room. It took us a few days to figure it out. Papa went looking but can't find it! He says it must be up inside the floor! Gag. Days aren't as bad as nights and I lit a yummy vanilla candle in the morning to rid the house of the smell. Gag. Nasty hey!? I can't wait to get out of this trailer!! 

Anyway my finger is screaming enough already at me! 

Hope the day goes well for you.

Hope the sun shines on your head.

Hope your world smells better, much better!, then mine ;)
