This week

This week has been full of PSSA's... cleaning the old house... and an extra day spent with my hubby!!

Yesterday we took a road trip for a really yummy late lunch! We didnt make it to FRX... but that is ok. The weather was just too iffy.
After that... we went and spent some time at the old house cleaning up crap. 6 contractor bags full of garbage later... we have the main floor almost completely clean!
Tomorrow Josh and my grandmother are coming up to help clean... the kitchen will be first on the list!
I totally appreciate all of the bags of garbage left on the deck... they were there for awhile!! All kinds of nasty shit flew and crawled out of it!!! Added bonus was the nasty used cat litter bag that something ate threw! Have I mentioned I hate my "mother"...?!?!
The lovely thought of her still being up in this area makes me sick! I came up here to get the hell away from her... now I have to wonder if I will run into her somewhere. That wont be pretty!
Let me just say... that whatever the trash men didnt take of the shit she left behind... she will find it out next to her van in the coming days!!!

Nathan and Britt managed to make it threw PSSA's this week! Today is our first day back to our regular school routine. It isnt sitting too good with Nathan.
I have been overwhelmed with teaher emails and things to catch up on. We had to redo our schedule since we just missed 3 days of class time. Hopefully once lunch is here and gone, we will have some sort of 'normal' going on again.
I think Nathan needs an early bed time tonite... he seems awfully whiny and tired.

HoBo tested positive for Lyme Disease. I had him tested when I took him to be neutered. CHHHAAAAA-CHING!!! It could have been worse-- heartworm. But still not something we really planned on. It does make the aches and pains he whined about make sense, tho. Poor thing... not taken care of AT ALL!!
Well, his life sure has turned around! I know one 10 yr old lil boy who LOVES him more than HoBo could EVER imagine!! They seem to love eachother... because HoBo was really lost without him the past few days... he seemed soooo depressed! (and I am sure it had nothing to do with his surgery...lol)

I will be starting all of our garden seeds today... if we ever make it through school work.
Stacy and I were out pulling some weeds around the pond yesterday. Goodness, I can not wait until our root cellar and new porch are on!! Then I can have a nice looking house again! Anyway, we started on the pond area. I plan one pulling out a bunch of those moon flowers as they start to come up this year! Those things end up sooooo big and take over!
I am hoping we can get our first load of mulch some time next week. I am NOT playing the weed game this year!!! I may even mulch some of our garden beds this year.
Stacy is chomping at the bit for homemade salsa! I guess I didnt make enough last year...lol.

Duck eggs are "cooking" nicely. Should be ready to be candled in the next few days.

Ohhhh.... this morning we got up to a field of about 20 wild turkeys!! Brittany, my turkey hunter, was soooo excited!!! Britt and Nathan went out and "stalked" them for awhile... got some good pics in the process!!

Ok... I guess that is my update for now.
Let's hope for more sunny skies!!
