one heck of a week

You have those weeks in life where everything you do is a challenge, goes weird, breaks or just doesn't fit in the way you need it to.  This is one of those weeks.  I am trying to stay positive, but I am also having toe pain from kicking a few things just to relieve some stress.  
Our mower is broken down.  We ordered the parts, but they have not arrived yet.  This is a complicated issue....we live in the country, there are no ordinances saying we have to get the mowing done.  BUT....remember a few weeks back when the neighbor decided to clear a bunch of trees, and remember when I told Jim it would cause relocation of the snakes that live there?  I was not wrong.  The woman who lives behind us is a nurse at Brookside.  Every time I go to do a transport, she is showing me a new photo of a  rattle snake they killed.  Yesterday's was about 2 feet from their front door, and she said she almost stepped on it.  Do I know there are rattle snakes on our property?  YES. And I do not really worry about it that much - because we keep our grass short.....except when the mower is broken I cannot keep the grass short!  
I went out yesterday to run between jobs - only to find that my car wouldn't start.  Mallory rescued me - which I appreciate very much, but I do not have time to deal with broken cars!  Or the money to deal with broken cars for that matter! 

Spencer had surgery on her knee.  I am told that she is getting started on physical therapy and that it will be a couple of tough weeks while she works to get her mobility back.  I am praying it goes well for her and that she is back to running very soon!






Easton got a tooth!  Big guy ready for the meats!





Madison has been driving the bus to summer weights.  Wrenley was sad because they took "her" bus to turn it in.  She didn't want a new bus!  This kid cracks me up.



Evelyn spent all of her chore money.  She had to get a manicure from her manicurist (Thanks Aunt Bubba).  I mean who doesn't think these look amazing?  How will she get dressed or go to the bathroom?  Nobody knows.  Its all about the look!

I am not saying I am counting down or anything, but the weekend is almost here!  I hope that the weekend can give me a little rest and relaxation!
