I wanted to make sure I posted today since I didn’t even make it onto Xanga on Friday. So here’s the recap:
- Friday: mostly classes and travel.
- I needed to stop at WalMart on my way to CU so that I could head straight home that evening. The plan was to leave for the farm as soon as possible.
- Unfortunately, there were three accidents on I70 eastbound (the road we’d be taking), so we ended up hanging out at home for a while.

- That gave me time to pack and grade my Basic English stuff before we left, so that was good.
- We arrived at the farm about 8:00. Eric and his mom played with their new cameras. I got really tired, really fast!
- Saturday: hanging out
- We ran some errands with my MIL in the morning, then had lunch.
- We “helped” Alan do a job for another farmer. Eric drove Alan’s new truck with the machine attached. Alan drove the tractor. Eric helped load/unload. I just sat around and read a book.
- After getting home, we went in to say hello to Eric’s grandparents. We actually had a great chat with much laughter. They are the cutest little couple ever!
- After a quick supper on our own (the family had a church obligation), we headed home.
- Sunday: busy
- Church in the morning, plus the drama people had to man a recruitment table. So we all came as characters and generally amused the congregation as they came and left. I was a newsboy, and I even successfully tied my own tie!

- We grilled pork for dinner. Yummy!
- I worked on grad stuff all afternoon. The book I read while “helping” Alan was a grad school assignment. I still had 3 articles left to read. As of this morning, I still have half an article left. I just quit because I had NO idea what the man was saying. Hopefully, he’ll make more sense this afternoon!
- Small group finished the day. It wasn’t that exciting, sadly. But we got home before 9:00, so that was nice!
- Today: crazy
- Last night, I didn’t sleep that well. *sigh*
- Classes all day, then grad school. And I really need to get some grading done for Comp. We’ll see what happens, though!
This farm sound lovely. To whom does it belong?
She doesn’t run, she walks.
Put the book down and run. You can fake it………….
^ Apparently, I’m not a good woman. *Sigh*
You sound down. Hopefully, today is good, and you can rest tonight and tomorrow.
I think every good woman should know how to tie a man’s tie. Good job!
If the guy doesn’t make any more sense, I say you don’t have to press on. Life’s too short.
Gone are the days when I could maintain your pace!! It sounds like you had a good weekend. I always liked to get grading out of the way…it hung over my head like the sword of Damocles…..or however you spell it.
I seriously doubt the guy will make any more sense today. Let me know.
Are you sure you’re not pregnant? You seem to be very tired lately…even with a busy schedule. I’ll be praying that you are!!
HOW many more weeks of this crazy schedule??? At least you had some relaxing time on Saturday!
A girl I work with had a baby.
