The best laid plans?

Well, I wanted to work on the front yard today and it poured all last night, so too wet to do anything, but we need the rain!

Yesterday we met with the Yard Guy, and he said the yard was very ready and we had done a fabulous job! I'll take the compliment.

He will be here Tuesday to install the hydro-seed, and we should have a lawn is about three weeks!

Now the watering six times a day will be gruesome, but we are so ready.

I spent most of yesterday shopping for Lil Sis's party and took all the fruit up to Kim's and she will take this task from me. Ordered the cake from Albertsons as Costco could not meet my needs!  Will pick cake up Sunday morning after Mass and also three large bags of ice.  The party starts at 2 so will have plenty of time to decorate and get things together.

My Niece (Lil Sis's middle daughter) is flying in tonight, and Lil Sis's good Friend flew in last night, so I have plenty of help!

Sissy has been very busy in the shop this week and has really worked hard and I am proud of her!

I have to take lawn chairs, a cooler and six pounds of ground beef to Lil Sis today.  Will cook the burger and process into Taco meat tomorrow and refrigerate.

It is still sprinkling slightly, and I want to work on the garage so that is on hold, and it should stop within the next hour.

I need to go downstairs and change my sheets, and the others are in the dryer as I type but will have to be ironed and that is not happening until next week.

I also need to process mushrooms and freeze them and a can of black olives for pizza.  I am making pizza for dinner tonight. NOT HAPPENING PLEASE KEEP READING

Okay, it has been six hours since I last typed a word, and the day has been full, but I am determined to finish this post!

Husb was finally ready to clean out garage and it is done for the most part for now.  I can move in it! that is the blessing.  I will take every one of them I can get! Took us about an hour?  Why do Men stress over this.?  I threw a bunch of little crap left over from old owners and then there is a load to take to the dump which I will use Sissy's car next week to do that trip!

Then we went to Ace hardware and bought the hose that he wanted and then to Home Creepo, (yes that is what I call it as no one there knows what they are doing! I will willingly pay the price at Ace to save time and sanity). Bought downspout extenders that we need so the downspout's do not injure the hydroseed.

Then of course to lunch as Husb was HHUNGRY and you have to feed a Man as we had much more to do! That cost us $ 52.00 damn and that was just lunch! Of course, we tipped generously but still???

At lunch we had a call from Sissy (who was melting down and this happens as she has worked very hard this week and too many Brides' showings up today) So up the hill we went after paying check quickly and went to the problem and we also had things from the garage clean out that needed to be at her place.

I had a list for the errands and forgot to get the cooler from Sissy's garage for the party on Sunday as I was helping Miss Meltdown.   I did NOT LOOK AT THE LIST! I HATE THAT WHEN I DO THAT! BUT THEN MISS MELT DOWN CAME FIRST! (That would be Sissy).

She had a right to melt down and it was a vale.  The bride wants a long white vale (On very thin netting) with lace placed all the way around the bottom, but the lace she ordered was way too heavy and Sissy had tried everything she could think of to attach it.  She tried a fabric glue and then had to sew around light netting and had only gone halfway up the vale. I then become the model and walked it up and down the long hallway and the lace is too heavy (after Sissy spent hours sewing this damn stuff on and only halfway up!)

I told Sissy to tell her the truth, and it worked.  The vale will either be shortened, or the motives will come off.  End of story.  Now Sissy knows and every time you touch a job or a new fabric it is a learning curve, and some you simply do not accept.  Also, Sissy knows that brides can turn into bridezillas and that is always a worry.  You just have to talk them off the edge!

We then went to Lil Sis's to take things for the party and talked for a half hour with her Friend.  Told Lil Sis I forgot the cooler but that would go on my list for tomorrow!

Now it is 5:12 in the evening and I am damn tired!  I was going to make pizza for dinner but left-over hot dogs sound better and I still have to put clean sheets on my bed.  I just hope that homemade crust does not explode all over my clean fridge!

What a day, but as Sissy says... God is Good!

Everyone have a blessed weekend, will tune in next week!

Hugs, Kay
