Super Busy

Working...here.

More to come.

OMGOSH.

Seriously.

I have a link to a newspaper article about Troy...but I don't want to post it here. (I should add...the article is about him and his work -- too much identifying info for the blog, you know?)

So if you are interested...shoot me an e-mail and I will forward it to you.

A link to e-mail me is in the sidebar ----------------> over there.

It's A GOOD Thing

So, I am doing okay taking the photos for Project 365, but finding the time to post them has been the problem. So, here's two.

4/365 9 a.m. church



Does this happy little face need any explanation? It was tough to get up early and get ready for 9 am church, but everyone was so happy to go, come home, and still have the entire day ahead of us. And having church come BEFORE nap time, rather than DURING nap time is a GOOD thing.

5/365 "Rest" Day Off



The one thing I really love about Troy's job is that he gets every other Monday off, as a "rest" day. But, rarely does he get to rest. He invariably has to check his e-mail, answer phones calls, and of course, travel. But, it's still really nice to have him home every now again.

You Get What You Pay For, and Other Life Lessons

So, as you might be aware Troy is an international man of mystery.

Okay, not really. But he does get to travel quite a bit.

And what did Troy get to do today?




Looks lovely, doesn't it?

And, what, you ask, did I get to do today?



Well, my friend Lara wrote this lovely post about her children frolicing in the remants of Hurricane Hanna.

I, on the hard, wouldn't call what I did for two hours in the rain so much frolicing, as bailing. Well, really, vaccuuming.

I know, you are asking yourself, vaccumming, in the rain?

Yep.

One of our window wells filled with water and flooded our basement.





I know, it looks like fun and you are just wishing you could have been here.

I wish you could have been here too.

Oh, and on a little side note. I have learned once again, that you get what you pay for.

Troy, my dear, sweet husband, was very excited to have found this ROCKIN' deal on a shop vac at Wal-Mart. It was only $20.00.



And, I have to say, it has been a fine little vaccumm...but today, when I really needed it, I found out why it came so cheaply.

Standing in the rain, using the little shop vac was okay when it was just drizzling. But when it began to pour, the little shop vac was overwhelmed.

I finally ran over to the neighbor's house to see if he had another shop vac so that I could use them both.

Well, he pulled out this bad boy...



Need I say more?

Let's just say don't be surprised when the little shop vac goes to the big work room in the sky, and the big red machine is sitting underneath the Christmas Tree with Troy's name on it.
