It's looking a little cloudy here this morning.  I have a feeling it's going to rain AGAIN.

I guess I should just be happy that everything is growing (except for the grass, anyway.

by CabinGirl on Sun Jun 22nd, 2008 at 08:01:33 AM EST
Hey CG.  We're finally getting some of your rain.  It's been dry and our drought is worsening after briefly improving earlier in the spring.  CBtE would love our brown, dormant grass.  :)

I'm gald you're finally getting some rain...you've been under drought conditions there since pretty much last summer, haven't you?

CBtE is thankful that the weather will prevent him from cutting the lawn today.  Too bad he's grumpy about getting up to babysit this morning...

Good morning everyone!

We had a thunderstorm come through last night, but this coming week looks like it will be dry and in the 90's.

I found out yesterday that my sil and niece are on a tour with some group going up to one of the Northern countries.  I think it's call Michigan.  I hope they have their passports, and I would have told them to be careful of the natives up there.  If they're not careful one of them natives will try to sell them some bridge in Brooklyn.

I've seen a few of the people I went to HS with, but most have moved away.  I've never been to a HS reunion, but my 40th will be coming up in a year or so.

I haven't talked to my brother about his, but after dinner last night he said they were all going out to the family farm house.  I think they're all supposed to have lunch today and then everyone heads out.

I must have adapted by now, but I still hate the heat.  My lawn worries I think are over.  We found a guy that does a good job and his charges are extremely reasonable.  Just as long as he doesn't raise his prices in a month or two, I don't think the lawn will be a problem. :)

Nope wouldn't think of it.  The last time we had someone do the lawn, every time they told me they were through, I'd point out something they missed.  The guy was just basically doing as little as possible and wanted to be paid twice as much as the new guy.  With the new guy, I went out and looked after he was done and he did an excellent job.

Well FMom had another sleepless night which means I've been up all night.  Hopefully in the next hour or two she'll finally get to sleep which means that I'll be able to get some sleep.  Hopefully.

One good thing about being up all night is I got a hell of a lot of house cleaning/laundry done.  This is a good thing since I've got a brother and sil coming to stay for a couple of weeks.  

It's gonna be hot down here all this week.  I don't think we'll be out of the 90's all week.  

So everybody wake up and lets get ready for work....Oh I meant ya'll get ready for work. :)

Good morning Andi.

I like the new acronym.  It seems to pinpoint nights at this house. :)

With the rels coming to stay so long this time, I'm laying down the law and letting them know this isn't a motel.  Clean up after yourself!

I thought it might be a nap soon, but while I wasn't watching FMom sneaked in her own nap and she's awake again.  I've got her everything she needs right now, so I might try and sneak in a nap myself.  

So it's the second day after vacation.  I bet you couldn't wait to get back to work :~)
