blah

So this Monday so far has been a very bad day. Not because it's Monday, of course....just happens to be a really bad day on a Monday. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard when people that you love are hurting.

Just a little bit of laundry to do......

I have so much laundry to do that I separated not only into colors, but into the people they belong to as well. The girls have a TON more clothes than the boys, and I needed to make SURE that some of the boys' clothes got washed. I did four loads of laundry Saturday and it's almost still the same amount of laundry I have to do today! My tough decision of the day is shall I continue to work on darks or do I start doing brights today? I'm thinking I'll keep doing darks until every pair of jeans are clean.

For the past couple weeks I've been working on getting the rocks out of what's supposed to be my rose bed. This whole summer I've noticed we have a whole lot of grasshoppers....but this is only our first summer here so maybe there are just a lot of grasshoppers around here, what do I know? But the weird thing is, these grasshoppers don't seem to be afraid of anything!! When I was tossing rocks into my rock pile I was startled to see a large grasshopper sitting on a rock right next to the one I just threw....and he just turned a little to see what I threw at him and didn't move! He didn't move for over half an hour while I was STILL throwing rocks in the pile! (I did try to not hit the little thing.)

Well the rest of them are the same. I found this one on my gate and he just sat there while I opened the gate, walked through it with all my bags, and then shut the gate. So I took a picture with my hand nearly touching him. He didn't care. When I touched him he just moved over a bit.

This is strange in MY book but again....what do I know?

So laundry today, maybe work in the basement some more....I have a meeting at the school so I'll need to shower & be out of here in a while.

I hope your day is going a lot better than mine!
