Duty Calls

So...sh!tty start to an otherwise GORGEOUS day. Yesterday's plumbing problems turned out to be slightly more complicated than originally foreseen....had to get an emergency septic pump...I was jumping to conclusions thinking we were going to have to install a whole new septic tank worth tens of thousands of dollars..ACK!!...come to find out...the problem is significantly less poopy than that....now all we need to do is dig out three trees to get to the 'root' of the problem and replace part of a pipe...phew!!

Now...enough with the crap talk...I'm struggling a bit getting back into 'creative writing' but I have sooo much to say....with a 5 month old the stories are endless.....ooops...she just woke up...duty calls.

Walkin' on the Sunny Side of the Street

So my kitchen sink and dishwasher are backing up into my shower and overflowing onto the floor...ACK!! Looking for a 'sunny side' of such a thing can be trying...however...I ask myself 'what will getting my panties in a bunch do about it?'....then I breathe....and sop up the water with the dogs towels....try plunging the sinks....to no avail....currently I'm waiting for the water to drain below the shower door at which time I will attempt plunging in the shower....oh the joys of home ownership.....even with these little molehills that need not be made into mountains...I continue to love every minute of it.

Hello Again

Wow...it's been over THREE years since I've visited this blog. To be honest...I had forgotten about it until recently when a friend of mine started blogging and directed me to his blogspot blog. Once I visited his blog it all came rushing back that I had been here before. Now...I have no intentions of completely filling in the blank of the past THREE years...but funnily enough as I read what I wrote back then...a lot of it pertains to today. First....I still dread laundry...although...I'm A LOT better at staying on top of it... It should be mentioned that I am now doing laundry for three...me...my beau...and our babe....four if you count our pup. I'm on maternity leave right now which allows for time to get all of these clothes washed...dried...folded....and put away (sometimes that's the hard part-rephrase-MOST times that the hard part). I've moved from the city of many things to do to the country with endless chores to do....and I'm lovin' every minute of it. I'm going to try to keep this blog as a running journal of my adventures on our 'farm' with my lil family...
