Well I hope you all had a great weekend.
Mine was pretty good, I'm not going to talk about the evil plague poison oak any more (aren't you glad!)
I'm going to tell you how helpful I can be for my sweet hubby.
Saturday he asked me to go with him to spray some fields at a camp at the river.
Of course being the helpful wife that I am (after gesturing to my you know what on my arms and pouting and getting no sympathy) I said I would go with him.
So after I packed a bag or two (insert hubby eye rolling) we were off.
Not one mile down the road hubby decided (even though we have a perfectly good air conditioner) that we should ride with the windows down.
I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with the Clorox bleach that I had all over my arms for the you know what.
That's fine you are suppose to ride on country roads with your arm hanging out the window anyway.
We get to the creepy camp and he sets up the sprayer on the ranger and away he goes.
What was my job as his helper...you ask?
I was to keep myself and the dogs entertained and out of trouble.
Dogs entertained..........check!
Now let's see what I can do......
I did a little bit of this....
And a little bit of this.....
And a little bit of this....
And a little bit of this....
And a little bit of this....
And my most important job was when hubby would come back to refill the sprayer I would yell
"It's 93 degrees even in the shade!!!!"
I know he appreciated knowing that information.
I help when I can....:)
Plus I needed to make sure that he knew that I was hot
....and not in the sexy way....
as you can tell by the fat rolls and the slicked back hair.
And then I decided after finding a bottle of nail polish in my bag that I would paint my awful toenails.
And since I had nothing but time I was able to layer on many coats.
Now are you screaming at the computer screen ?(you know, like you do in horror movies)
"DON'T DO IT!!"
Did you know there is a reason you have manicures and pedicures in air conditioned buildings?
Um hmm.....yep....
that stuff melted right off my toes!
And then just before I had a melt down myself, hubby showed up and said let's go.
And then we passed by the beautiful pastures...
And stress just melted away (like my pedicure).
We went over the bridge across the creek...
the dogs were so happy to feel a breeze...
And right after we passed the view of the river I said to hubby....
"oh can we turn around and let me take a picture of the river?"
(I'm always thinking of y'all)
Well as he tried to swing around we slid into a huge hole and got stuck!
We lost a little bit of our peace as he tried to get out and then we broke something under the truck.
I meekly said
"do you want me to push?"
The truck ran hot.....and hubby may have also....
but we eventually got out and headed on home.
(sorry...no river pic)
All was well again in our little world and another typical day in the country was behind us.
(except that I have to help him put in a new drive shaft tomorrow evening...yuck!)
