I had lofty plans yesterday to get at least half of our fence repaired (it's about 80 feet worth) but alas, my plans fell apart when Jim fell apart. UGH! The frustrating thing is that on Thursday when Jim and I discussed these plans, I told him we should only plan on half of it getting done on Saturday and the other half being left for Sunday. Jim kept arguing with me telling me we could crank it all out on Saturday. I tried to explain to him that he was not going to be able to handle that (having worked crazy hours through the week and exhaustion catching up with him) but he apparently thinks I'm an idiot because he would hear nothing I was trying to tell him. Fast forward to yesterday, at Home Depot where we were making our lumber purchase. Jim could barely walk, barely drive and after unloading our load (170 boards and 30 stringers), he had had it. Oh well, at least the materials are here and the ground was able to dry a little more.
So - plans today: repairing the fence. I would imagine it will take a few hours to do this. After we eat breakfast, we'll get a move on and hopefully be done by noon. I'll have to shove several ibuprofen down Jimmy's throat and plug my ears with cotton so I won't hear all the bitching and moaning from him.
I've got a busy week coming up: Monday I have a union meeting at 4:00; Tuesday a professional day with my sped department; Wednesday another negotiation meeting and Thursday is our last required late night at school with our Community Service Presentation night for seniors. UGH!
Okay I need to go convince Jim to go to the store for me and pour meself a mimosa! Happy Sunday! Later!
