My Brain Has Something To Say....

Hello out there!

I'm in Quick book purgatory....sales tax, withholding tax, unemployment tax, 940, W2, W4, 1099, I9....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

And I don't know what the what I'm doing.

And my husband who is working so hard on all the manual labor comes in all hot and sweaty and exhausted

and asks "you've got all the paperwork stuff taken care of don't you?"

And I just say..."ummm......yes."   And he's too tired to notice that it is in tiny letters.

I frantically call the accountant and he says do blah, blah, blah blah blah and then do blah, blah

blah, blah blah.  Have you got that?

Ummmm.......yes.

I've been out of the loop too long.  My brain does not want to learn this stuff.

It wants to wander around the yard and check on Rod Stewart and his romance

with the Kardashi-hens.

And then the brain (and the body) wants to take a little nap in the sun.

And the brain has no room for frenzy, and calculations and have you filed with the IRS....

The brain (and the body) wants to go back to time spent under THE tree.....

ahhh.....the good old days...

and baking quiche...

And I know....some people can do it all......

but not this brain.

This brain feels like a lot of stuff is being packed in where there is no room for it.

It may not even have time to post special things like slug sex for y'all.

It's really hard to take a laid back, all I want to do is farm, 50 year old brain and turn it into a savvy business brain.

The brain is sad.........and feeling sorry for itself.

It has no choice but to hang in there (if only by a little, tiny vine) and

try to figure it all out.

Why oh why can't my good looks be enough.....

why must I have to use my brain also?....sigh....

The tired and sad brain says goodbye for now.

It may see you again in 6 months or never 

because it may be in IRS jail.

Ummmm....yes...this is true.

If you get a chance to visit me there please bring Rod with you.

and her tired, sad brain.

Ordinary Country Life Scenes

It's hammer time....

(couldn't help myself..heehee)

can't touch this...:)

 I promise this is not us.

But we did see this redneck rig....I guess if you want to go fishing

you figure out a way to haul your boat.

My husband is a rule breaker...

Ummm.....yes we are in a boat.....

This is why I don't get invited to go fishing much....

I turned my back to hubby took the pic and worked for 30 minutes getting it untangled.

I wasn't going to talk on this post and let the photos speak for themselves.....

but.....

you know I have to talk!

Pretty birds..(like that really needs an explanation)

Treed! 

(is that how you spell that...it doesn't look right)

Not good photos but what is this?

We were at the river.....the mama thing came out first and then a baby thing came out of a hole.

It doesn't have a beaver tail.

The dam!

Hubby would not let me gather this wood and put it in the boat.

He's no fun...:(

And I have one more fun photo...:)

I don't watch them and I think they are ridiculous but I have so much fun with my

Kardashi-hens...:)

Toodles!!

Catching You Up!

Hmmmm....

Where to begin?

First I had a request to see my final selection of the dress I wore to the wedding in this post.

Out of 200 photos that I tried to take of me and the dress you only get to see one..

and it's because I'm almost hidden behind the table.

The colors I liked but it was a drapey mess. (what is going on with my hair?)

However I do like that my teeth look white.

I've been swishing my mouth out (don't swallow it) with hydrogen peroxide after I brush my teeth

and this stuff really works!

It sure beats paying a dentist hundreds of dollars.

Let's see...ummm.....what else has been happening?

Oh.....I've been trying to learn how to play tennis!

AndIpoppedmykneeandcanhardlywalkusetwoicepacksthreetimesdailyandliveonadvil.

I hate being old, overweight and out of shape...:(

How do you get back in shape without hurting yourself?

Anyway....let's move on...or in my case limp on....

Did I tell you that my husband left his job that he was a part owner in for 33 years?

It's a long and complicated story that I may talk about one day but I just know

that God has a plan for us and we are on board for where he is leading us.

So......hubby is working in our shop for now....and I had to make me an office in college kid's room.

He is not happy about some of the changes that I have made.... like his bedding.

I just couldn't take the brown and ducks and deer.

He doesn't like the chevron ...heehee.

He doesn't even sleep in here when he is at home....he sleeps in the guest room with the big t.v.

Sambo seems to like it and she keeps me company.

Now some of you may remember that I tried to have my office in the laundry room.

That will not work because if for some reason someone had to come to my office and saw the

laundry room.........I would have to kill them.

I really tried to organize it but it never really worked out as you can see in this post.

I really like having my office upstairs.....it seems private and cozy.

And if you think about it would you say a little prayer for my hubby and me?

That we will listen to the Lord and do his will.

I'm really excited about the new direction our lives are taking.

The only bad thing is it looks like I will be working full time away from home

if everything pans out for us and I won't be able to stay in touch with you wonderful

people as much.

I will sneak you in as much as possible....;)

So that should about catch you up with me and what's been going on lately.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.

I'm not sure what we will be doing......

Breesy!!!!!

Breesy.......show these good people what we will probably be doing this weekend.

Yep......a whole lot of nothing.....:)

Hugs to you all!!!!!

Redneck Island 2014

We went to the river today to see what "our" sandbar looked like.

Each year the river gets "out" and covers the sandbar and then the water

goes back down and you never know how it will leave the sandbar.

Sometimes it's gently slopes to the water....sometimes it's a steep bank to the water.

So the hubby, the dogs and I went to check it out.

It looked pretty good.

The dogs had a blast.......chasing the waves and running.

I put my feet in the sand.....

We did some target shooting...

some picture taking...

we watched the boats go by...

You can even check out the deer tracks!

It was a beautiful, peaceful day!

Just the hubby, the dogs and me.....
