Well it has been almost a month since I last posted. Man I have been busy! I am still babysitting, taking care of grandma, helping with my aunt as much as I can, and trying to keep my sanity(which has been a little hard lately)! But, I thank God everyday for the time I get to spend with my family/friends!
On this note! It's hot out here in sod farm land, and frankly everywhere! Irrigating, irrigating, and more irrigating has what's been happening! The boys all need a break from the heat! But, as I sit here and type in my air conditioned house the boys drive by in a cloud of dust! We NEED rain! Rain makes corn, and corn makes whiskey~~UH oh um, ok! We leave next Friday for Branson! We are beyond ready(like since March). Swimming, go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, eating junk food, and yes I dare to say it a NAP!!! We aren't braving Silver Dollar City this trip because well Luke isn't old enough to remember it yet! If we get to go back in September we will probably go then(this is my excuse until then)! 2 of my friends and their children were there this week, and he puts it so well: he needs to invent a motorized cart of some sort to ride, and push the kids with! Those hills are killer!! LOL
I have so much to say but, stuff needs done!! Off to print a recipe for the perfect iced coffee according to The Pioneer Woman!! hehehehehe

We bought a pool!
Here lately I feel like saying we bought a zoo!! It's been crazy around here. After last weekend I am counting every blessing I have!! We bought a pool a little pool but a pool. When you live on a farm you have well water. Therefore you have to get water elsewhere for the pool. Also, the leveling of the ground is not going to be easy!! With that being said. I am still excited that I don't have to drive anywhere to go swimming!! And, the kiddos have a place to stay cool and be outside!! Having 2 children in the house has been fun, but tiring!!! There is extra messes, and so on!!
So, Saturday evening I get a call from my parents asking me where we all were all at. I knew something was wrong so I was very quick to tell her where we all were. If I haven't said we own some land on the river. About a mile down the pasture. So she proceeded to tell me there was a person that supposedly drowned in the river. She said that my brother is on his way home to put the airboat in the water and help them rescue the victim. So, I get my rubber boots on, and load Luke up on the 4-wheeler and we head to the barn. If anything we could open gates for the rescue teams to get down to the river. Ended up driving my brothers truck and he took the airboat down. After him and my dad got in the water he met the team half way and brought them back to river bank. The man was in his 40's and had been drinking(mixing alcohol and water doesn't mix well), and diving in waste deep water, and hit his head. I am sure he broke his neck. They did CPR, and pushed meds. I am confident in saying that was the only thing that kept him alive at that point. He wasn't good at all! I feel so sorry for his family. I hope he made it, but don't know his name, or where he was flown to to be able to check. And, the law enforcement and others aren't allowed to tell. The helicopter tried to land out here, but had some mechanical issues and had to leave. It's hard to see stuff like this, but the rescue teams were excellent!! I have been in the medical/law enforcement field since I was in high school. I have seen so much so I knew what to expect. Not saying it is easy to take at all. Well I needed to get that off my chest!! Have a great week!!!

Girls, Girls... GIRLS I said!!
SOOOOO.... Babysitting a little girl has changed my life(not joking like at all). You all have to remember I am a country girl( NO accident). Which means what you say? I am NOT girly, not now, not ever! Well if I absolutely have to be I will(being forced in other words)!!
On that note. My niece is spending a few days with us. They are getting to be girly girls. And, I can handle that. They tell me what they want etc., and it happens. So having a almost 2yr. old girl around is VERY VERY VERY different. We went on an outing today. My first outing with me being the only adult there(scary stuff). I know this all sounds crazy, but I have a 100% country boy 4yr. old. I got boys down to a tee. Trucks, trailers, wheels, boats, deer hunting, fishing boys!!! I am the only girl. Man O MAN!! We ventured to old navy today. Thanks to my niece I have had some help(not sure I could have survived w/o). Not sure how my momma had 4 of us..EEEKKKK Anyhoooo Luke wanted trucks, and Kynnadi wanted shoes. SHOES???? SHOES??? What do I do with PINK SHOES??? Not cowboy boots... Holy cow... She threw a ring tailed fit for shoes!! OMG!!! Yep it floored me!!!! I will never be the same!! LOL
Sitting here writing this my boy is playing with his cousin(Hannah). He loves "his gurls" he has 3 of them(Hannah, Meghan, Josie). They are NOT his Uncle Pj & Aunt Erins girls.. they are his gurls(very redneck sounding)! I get up to use the restroom, walk in and my child has thrown an entire NEW roll of toilet paper in the toilet, took it out, and laid on the counter. In questioning him about this he said "it was cool mom"... LORD help me!!! ***SIGH*** Guess I better go get the kitchen cleaned up/put up, and get ready for tomorrow!!!! GIRLS...GIRLS....and 1 boy!!!!

The weekend so far!
This last 2 weeks have been a blur. But, yesterday started off an amazing weekend. One of my close friends graduated from high school, and won a Lexus and a $25,00 dollar scholarship. Her parents had a cake party(which was a great idea). Today started at and I was running till about 20 minutes ago. My brother's wedding reception was tonight, and it is was the prettiest reception I have ever been to. The food was amazing... the wine(SAY WHAT) was great. Watching people from church drink it was classic. My momma was a little disturbed about it.. but it wasn't her reception, and it was a great starter for a conversation.. LOL LOL LOL
Saw people whom I haven't seen in years. Most were my brother's best friends from high school.. Can't believe they are "all grown up" now. Luke had cake for supper(yes mother of the year award goes to me)!! There was an entire pig(kinda creepy), and all the fixins. Am I random(don't answer that). Now fixing to go put my feet up, and doze off to sleep!!

Of mice and my sanity!!!
I hate mice! I live on a farm, and I hate mice. They scare me, they are nasty, they are evil, and they make me crazy!!! We have to put mice poison down, and eventually we get one that actually dies inside the house. So, last night we(being my husband, and me standing at the front door) found one behind the oven. It smelled horrible, I almost puked, I gagged, I ran like a little girl!! My brothers used to chase me with the dead ones when I was a kid(before mice poison). I locked myself in the bathroom, and screamed when they would try and shove them under the door.... I am scarred for life..
That is all!!! ;)
That is all!!! ;)

Dr. Pepper calms me!
Well this week so far has been great!! God is opening doors right and left for us, and we couldn't be anymore grateful as we are now. We just have to stick out 1 more year of school for me!! EEKK.. can't believe it's so close!!
Have I mentioned that I have an addiction to purses, and I have never admitted this part before: Shoes.. OH MY I can't believe I just said that!! I have never been big on fashion, etc... oh sigh... So, I am selling some of them all.. Separation anxiety is taking over me today... yes I admitted that too. I might have to a Dr. Pepper to get over it and possibly some chocolate!!!
My brother is getting married tomorrow. And, the reception will be the 19th. Everyone on the farm is stressed. Which in turn is making me stressed. I am so glad to have such a wonderful person become family!! I now have 2 wonderful sisters!! !! Although this isn't as normal as far as weddings. And, I am ok with that.. Wedding with just the parents there, and then reception following week for everyone. I can handle that. But, since my yard is technically the first yard people see I am flipping out!! I am becoming crazy person. #1. I don't grow things well. So I have to get the flowers bought, and planted like the day before so they don't die. #2. My momma is stressed out. And, it makes me stressed! If she would just listen to me, and relax a little it would be better or let me help!!! SIGH... And, I probably need to go get a spray tan or something. I have a bit of a farmers tan.. Have I mentioned I still haven't purchased clothes for this event! EEEKKKKKKKKKK I might have to have one of my friends rescue me!! But, she works night!!!
That is all for now!
