WOW!! Another week from hell...what is the saying for March? In like a lion out like a lamb, in like a lamb out like a lion.... something like that...
The week started off good. I got to talk to the Soldier boy....which is always nice. Then it progressively got worse from there. The dogs decided the fence made a good snack. Then they realized if they chewed some more they could make a hole big enough to get in the neighbors back yard. They got through when the neighbors rat dogs were out.....so they almost had a snack!! LOL Ok ok so it isn't funny...**snicker** So Thursday after class I went down to Home Depot and bought the materials to start repairs on my fence. Managed to get 56 of the 60 fence boards put into place!! GO ME GO ME!! Good thing I know how to use a hammer. Of course it wasn't all fun and games. A few broken nails, a bump on the head (don't ask), and a few curse words that would have made a sailor blush!! LOL In the end it got done...now to figure out what to do with the scrap fencing.....Friday starts to look better....kind of but not really...it was all an illusion in my head. Friday was crappy.....then to add icing to the cake...the dogs make another hole in the fence............and they RUN all through the neighborhood. So instead of getting ready to go out with the girls, I am outside putting up more boards on the fence!! Finally made it out with the girls but I should have just gone to bed.
Saturday looks a little more promising....we had a family shopping day...basically I had to take EVERYONE to the mall...the girls needed a haircut. We got some laundry done and some house work knocked out. Then hit the mall. Girls got a haircut. Then we went shoe shopping...yay!!!
Sunday seems even better, still haven't heard from the Soldier.....**sigh** by this time I am a little bit upset. but I truck on.......then the last bit of straw gets put on the camels back....
The dogs make another hole in the wall. Which is lovely, since I am alone with three kids. I get Duke back in the house but Ginger decides to explore.
This is more than I can take.....
What is really frustrating and annoying is...............he HASN'T called!! Or emailed or sent smoke signals...nothing. Not like I can call him, or text him. I guess I could try smoke signals after all I have scrap fence to get rid of!! Oh I am so witty!! LOL I try to tell myself he is busy, his time is off, there isn't a phone, or a computer just to make the lack of communication easier. The rational side of me understands that there are things that are beyond the control of either of us. But dammit he could at least call!!!! or email!!!
So back to the fence....I can't just replace the pickets like I did on Thurs. I have to replace the crossbars...I am thankful for the two guys in my life that take on the honey do list. You guys have no idea how much you are appreciated. Thank you to JW and his beautiful family for sharing him with us. To NJ, you are a pretty great guy!! Thank you!!
Now part of the back of the fence is done....when payday hits...another section will be done.
Yet the frustration remains. The only thing that will ease that frustration is to hear the voice of the one you love. The one that understands that your tears are not weakness, they are strength. They are what keep you balanced and strong enough to get along without him.
