Coffee anyone ?

Got that 6:00 text this morning, 2 year old was feverish, could I keep her today? Of course. DH has Dr appointment right now. Sitting in parking garage with sleeping toddler in her car seat. LOL without her nap, she’s a bear, so I’ll just sit here and let her get her nap out. Why didn’t I stay home with her? Because she runs a hundred miles a minute and wouldn’t have slept a wink. The car put her to sleep. ZZZZZ

Little kids and their naps...without naps, they turn into monsters! The hardest time with my DS was during the "I'm-too-old-to-take a nap" transition.

Your never too old for a nap.

My 17 year old got up, did his chores and then crawled into bed next to me and passed out



Poor kids were working all weekend including Monday, cleaning up a cabin, and fixing it up (building a door, putting in insulation, etc).

Well got 12 more bales from"storage" to tide us over....
Sincerely hope next time dh can come...couldn't get a gate open so that didn't help my work load... but DS was able to roll them so was a help "stacking" them. I broke the tail gate latch trying to get it open to unload... guess DH is right am stronger than I think...

Anyone want to move firewood now??

I broke the tail gate latch trying to get it open to unload...

Hopefully it's just the stiff wire rod that runs from the handle over to each side that popped out of a clevis and not the clevis itself that broke. I've fixed several either way, but never in the frigid conditions you are living in.
Keep in mind....Lots of door and tailgate parts are made of plastics of different kinds and they get extremely brittle in very cold weather and are a lot easier to break. Even those made of metal break easier in very low temperatures.

 

[promiseacres]

@greybeard yep brittle plastic was probably part of it, as the latch broke off in my hand

Oh well DH needs something else to fix...

Firewood is in. I am absolutely bushed.

True but there are those in between decades when they don't seem to sneak up on you mid day.

DD1 would fall asleep in the car ... until the car stopped.

Morning all. We got about 5" of snow last overnight. Planning on doing a few chores and then going and digging out my mom.
