Took the fence down.

What did I tell you, we'd get up late today. We got up a little after 10am. I gave Nate a shower and then we went down for breakfast. Joe got everyone cereal. Nate & I started making muffins for work and Joe went down to start cleaning the basement. As soon as he got down there, I realized I didn't have any eggs so I sent Joe to the store. Nate peeled all 10 bananas for me and put them in the bowl. He's such a great helper & he loves to be in there with me helping! When Joe got back he finally went downstairs to clean up. We finally got the muffins going and I got a couple dozen baked by almost 2. I had a meeting at work from 2-3 and then I came back and worked on more muffins. I took 2 of my pot holders to Gina (Kay) at work because she gave me some that she made. She inspired me to make the blue jean pot holders so I wanted to thank you. She loved them as well as everyone else in the room that saw them.



Dad was there when I got back. He brought a big trailer to load crap on from our new backyard. Dad & Joe had 2 sections of the fence taken down and dad was loading stuff. Joe was trying to get Nate down for a nap but that didn't happen. I talked to dad for about 10 minutes and then came back in to finish the muffins. Joe & I got into a very big fight and I asked him to please not slam the bedroom. Well he purposely slammed it 3 times. He slammed them so hard that the baby gates fell down, Ruso jumped like mad, & Nate was in the other room watching George. I didn't hear any response from him. I was so furious with him. I told him it was over & we just blew up on each other. If you read my blog from yesteday then you know about the sermon at church yesterday. About anger and how we need to work on it. Well today was a perfect example. We are better now, but we still need help.



Joe went out to help dad again since it was obvious that Nate wasn't going down for a nap. I took his step stool to the laundry room so he could stand on it to look out the window down to Daddy & Grandpa. He loved it! He also loved the muffins I made as he kept stealing them. I think he had 4 or 5.

Work wasn't too exciting except that we had a big carry-in dinner. There was tons of food and I brought home some fried chicken, baked beans, & homemade chicken n noodles. I only brought 6 muffins home from the 60 that I took in. I'm guessing they were a big hit!



Joe, Dad, Bob, & Mike were working in the backyard when I was at work. Mike brought his Bobcat over and got a bunch of stuff loaded up. It was too dark to see anything when I got home so it'll be a surprise to me when I see it in the morning. Nate was also alseep when I got home. It was very nice!! He had a busy day being outside and seeing the Bobcat! It was such a nice day outside. 77 degrees!!

I was on Facebook earlier & I noticed that a friend of mine that I worked with at Target was online. I haven't talked to her in about 3+ years but finally got to talk to her tonight!! We talked for about 45 minutes. It was so good to hear from her. I have missed talking with her and being around her. I hope to continue talking with her like the good ol' days!



I'm thankful to have old friends back in my life!!
