Please place duct tape here.... Honestly, I am my own worst enemy... Remember me saying that I had bought some material to make R some light pants....why didn't anyone try to stop me....
I started that project yesterday...after having tried to put it off as long as possible....hahahah I hate sewing clothing...I admittedly suck at it. big time...so it must have been a true labour of love, that I undertook that job... It started out well enough...until I had sewed the side seams and belatedly realized that I had forgotten to attach the pockets...so I spent an hour with the seam ripper...anyway...long story short I spent the entire...and I mean entire....(9 am to 10 pm) sewing two pairs of pants and a hoody...the hoody was a breeze since I have made him a half dozen of those over the years...but the pants .....ugghhhh... never will I undertake such a job again...he will just have to wear jeans like every other farmer I know.... so I need to carry a roll of duct tape with me...for when I am about to blurt out my willingness to self torture...I can just pop a piece right over my mouth....and voila....save myself a ton of stress...
hahaahhaha
to add to the drama of the day...R's sister is visiting from Victoria...for 5 days...and he is still seeding the last of the crop so he doesn't want to go in to see her.....I think that is just rude....and said so.....and so he calls his brother, where the sister is staying and invites them all out for dinner on Monday....well dinner and supper... and then before I can even give him shit for that...I mean, about not talking it over with me first...because I thought we had discussed taking them out for a meal... he calls his aunt and cousin to join us that same day... so with 4 days notice I am throwing a dinner party for about a dozen people all total.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....that turns into a lot of work for me...because I have to clean the house..and if I do it all in one day, I can't move the next.....I always pimp it up for people touring it...which they always do...I mean, put my fancy quilts on the bed, de-clutter and dust, wash the windows....etc...etc.....I feel I have to do these things because his family all live in million dollar houses or condos with views of the river valley....geeeshhhh I suppose the least I could do is kick the dead birds off the deck, that have committed harry karry at the windows...and as usual I am sure R will find that he conveniently has to move the cows to a different pasture that morning so he won't have to help...he shows up about a half hour before the guests and asks if there is anything he can do....
I have to make a flying trip in to town to grocery shop...and make a dessert...and plan what to set out for lunch....and the lawn will need to be mowed to present the best impression....hahahahahahhaha see, a lot of work... but I will revel in it...and then moan in agony for days after....my body reacts badly to stress.....
So, I may not be to visible on my blog for the weekend...busy as I will be... but I will keep you posted if anything untoward happens.....
