The never ending to do list.

Well this weekend was a to-do weekend! My awesome middle sister came with her daughter to spend some time and help us get some projects done. My little guy is finally feeling better, the ear infection is gone and he is pretty much back to his normal self. So it was a good weekend! We got my garden planted and flowers planted along with other miscellaneous items and errands. My 5 year old niece is hilarious and at times a bit naughty, I will share some of those stories at a later time. It was so nice to have the help with some projects. Now my sister just needs to come back when we really dig into the kitchen remodel. Which fyi: we have not started. ugh. Neither has the driveway contractor attempted to call us to set up a time to come and do our driveway. I'm starting to get frustrated. Anyway, it was a very productive weekend thanks to the help of my awesome sister. There is still lots to do on my list, seems it just never ends.
Side note: husband, sister and I dug out the clothes line poles that are in the spot the driveway will be going. Seems people who put them in anchored those things to china!! My gawd!! So we dug and dug and dug, then pushed and pulled and SNAP husband and I flew to the ground. Second one husband and sister flew but they caught themselves and did not land on the ground. So I am the only one with bruises now. Which is up to par for me. Back in the day when bff and I used to work (or not really work depending on who you ask) at Wal-Mart said bff would use my arms as a punching bag. She thought it was funny how easily I bruised and I often looked like a battered victim!
Here are my awesome bruises. Enjoy!

 ** please disregard my hairy arms... they really aren't that manly hairy, the up-closeness of my camera phone just makes them look that way***
also now my little guy is cutting some molars and is not a happy camper anymore.... *sigh* I guess it's always something!! I don't know what to do for him besides say "suck it up kid". Okay I don't really say that instead I stare at him while he screams in my face because his gums hurt, yes I really don't know what I'm doing in this parenting world. Poor dude.
