Absolutely nothing to do today.
House is immaculate, the laundry is done.
Sure was busy yesterday.
Ali has a horrible sunburn from all the time spent outside weeding.
She had a rough night sleeping and even had a temp.
Told her if it continues it's probably sun poisoning.
I'll probably end up suggesting she go to urgent care if she feels nauseous.
So far she's saying she's fine.

Back home (thankfully) and back to the grind. Gym this morning. Then drop off the side by side for warranty. Then physio.

Gorgeous morning here!
We've got 6 large totes, 4 boxes and several bags ready to go to Ali's mothers house for the garage sale this weekend.

I'm going to work this evening 4-6p.

Nothing real exciting to report otherwise.

I know you will miss the big city :yum:
Yep. Like I miss having hemorrhoids. Lmao. Now that I'm home I can truly say I'm glad to live where I do. Sure I'm in a city of 110000 people but I drive 15 minutes in either direction here and I'm in the woods. Toronto is nothing more than a cesspool of immigrants. I'm guessing only 2 out of 10 people there are white.

Nice day here. Buried some stepping stones so they are at ground level. Wife has some river rock with backing (14" circle) to put on top of stones. I mixed up the cement tile / general adhesive and stuck em in place. They should be cured to walk on at 5.
Brush hogged and used FEL w/tooth bar to rip vines out behind septic. Guy that fixed septic motor during winter thought some of the vines were getting inside the tank and messing with the motor. Wanted to be sure that will no longer be the case. It's fun ripping down vines. :D

Rained all day yesterday. We need it though to avoid an active fire season.

It's nice and sunny today. So here's my day so far. Got at 7 kids off to school then went to my 2 hr pain program. Only one week to go. Picked up the side by side on the way home then headed to camp to unload it and drop the flat deck trailer. Afterwards I hooked up to the camper and brought it in for warranty work.

Tomorrow's plan is to hit the gym then physio. Pick up the camper and bring it home to load groceries, get the water system operational and bring it back out to camp.

Been pretty busy today.
Ali went to her Mother's to help get the garage sale tables ready and sat up.
I guess they're having it for two days.
Meanwhile, I'm keeping the monsters happy until bed time.
With some help from Steve Harvey lol
They love Family Feud.

Change of plans for today. First one of the kids has pink eye so I had to cancel all appointments to stay home with her. So I decided to tackle prepping the truck camper for next weekends annual fishing trip. Discovered the roof developed a leak so I tore the problem area apart down to the studs and insulation. Now in the process of rebuilding it and sealing the leak. The big camper is still not ready at the dealership so I'll have to load it and bring it out tomorrow.

Day 2 of watching the grands while Ali and Co. do the garage sale.

Yesterday they were little angels.
Today not so much.
The oldest one Maddie (3) finds it amusing to be loud, and talk in this deep voice much like a rough and tumble little boy.
I've put her on time out,threatened to take things away and nothing works.

I've been told to swat her bottom and be firm.
I'd never do that as I am beginning to think it's much more than normal toddler behaviour.
It's something else going on.
Maybe like Tourette's.
I told Ali if she doesn't outgrow this, it needs to be looked into.
My son just gets fed up and tells her to knock it off and distracts/redirects.

Anyway, I got Mother's Day roses.
Appreciation for a job well done?
:yum:

Running around like a headless chicken. I'm trying to get stuff done before we leave for Boston on Tuesday. Our grand daughter graduates on Friday with a Masters in Law. Never been to Boston or the North-East and this will likely be my one and only opportunity. I'm giving it a week ... no more.

This back problem isn't getting any better and sure is hampering things.

Just did my duties for mother's day. Had to come up with a good excuse to sneak out to get flowers. Lol. Apparently I did alright. Told her I had to get more wood for the truck camper then left for a half hour.

Bringing the camper back out to set it up for the summer at our seasonal site. We worked yesterday on stocking up on groceries and going through kids clothes etc. Tomorrow is a trip to camp again as I'm getting a load of firewood delivered.

Looks like I am driving up to Mordor, er I mean, Chicago.

Melen left her insulin at home. She moved into her new apartment in the heart of all that is evil and unjust over the weekend. Insulin is here. She is there. She has a 2 day supply with her so I don't have to panic and rush up there, but I'll be fighting traffic at some point.

Can't believe how much you have to spend to get so little value for the privilege of paying excessive taxes just to live close to work. Good thing she has a couple roommates crammed into the shoebox sized high rise apartment to spread the burden. She also got a "housing stipend" as part of her internship, it covers just under 1/3rd of the cost of her lease :doh:

It's storming pretty good right now.
Prior to that the fog was a pea-souper.

Ty got home around 1:30am.
Some woman broke down on the turnpike.
I guess AAA was giving her the runaround. :hammer:
For some reason every place he stopped to grab a bite was closed??
He ended up getting a bag of Combos and a Mountain Dew.
Once he got home Ali made him an egg sandwich, then he went to bed,then back up and out at 7am.

Elaina has diarrhea, Ali has another knee appt this afternoon.. looks like another day in paradise :yum:
Thank God I don't work today!

The guy in the white shirt is from the newspaper.
I guess they're going to cover it (and do a little advertising) lol
It's also on their FB page.
Ali stopped to catch them in action after her ortho appointment.
That's Ty standing by the post.

Busy day today again. Kids have their annual medical checkups this morning. Then I'll have to make a trip out to camp as we're having a load of firewood delivered. Then rush back to town for physio this afternoon. It's an hour drive each way to camp.

Man, did it ever storm here last night!

Today is going to be helping take care of sick grandkids.
They've both been up during the night needing bed and diaper changes.
Fun, fun, fun!

Me too. Still dragged my butt to the gym this morning. Then out to shop for some curtains.

I'll be working on packing for this weekend's fishing trip.

I'm just plain freaking exhausted.
Yesterday was one for the history books.
Now I'm feeling not so hot myself.
I still have to work this evening for a couple of hours.
Or I may decide to get someone to cover for me.

Kids attract germs like a magnet, an then pass them on to adults. No fun at all. Take care PG.

I'm spreading landscape fabric under the window room we had added last summer. Then will get river rock to put on top of fabric. We spread 2 tons of river rock yesterday, probably get a couple more tons tomorrow.

Also planning to pick up my Simpson pressure washer and get a hair cut later today.

Tell me about it. Lmao. I have 7 kids in the house. When one gets sick it spreads like wildfire. Mind you we managed to survive the winter without flu shots for all 9 of us and only one kid was sick for a day. Very rarely do we have to keep a kid home from school.

Today's task was the gym this morning. Followed by a quick orthodontist appointment for one of the kiddies. I spent this afternoon so far loading up the truck camper and working on the boat. The worst is done now. It's all the small stuff. We're only going 3.5 hrs away but when you're out 30 miles from the nearest town, you don't want to realize that you forgot something.
