Finally Back.
I was completely frustrated! My internet was down since Monday afternoon. I changed somethings on my cell phone account and it totally screwed some things up. All my lines including my internet line were down. It took them 3 days to work out the bugs and get them going again!
Wednesday night was a nightmare. Work went ok for the most part. I was actually going to get home early for a change. I was so happy. As I was pulling out of the driveway at work, my car felt funny. So I pulled over and sure enough my car had a flat tire!!! Just what I needed… Anyways, so I turned around and pulled into the shop at work. I called my FIL and asked him to tell Forest that I might be late (I couldn’t call him because the stupid cell phones were down and we don’t have a land line phone). SO then I go to change the tire and I can’t get the lug-nuts off. So I called Bill, who is the guy that lives in the house at the farm that I work at. He came out and he couldn’t get them off either. He went and got the air one (I can’t think of what it’s called, lol, but the shops use them) And he barely got them off with that. I felts so stupid calling him to help me when I am totally capable of changing a car tire myself. Anyways there’s $125 dollars for a new tire that I can’t afford right now… And that’s the cheapest tire that we can find around here that’s rated for my car.
Glenn is doing great. We had a blast today. I only worked a half shift and spent the rest of the day with him. He went for a 4 wheeler ride and I went for a walk and took pictures of him. Then we came back in the house and played with blocks and legos. We were making big towers and silos (as Glenn was calling the round ones we stacked), then we would knock them down and start all over.
I love times like these… Makes being a mom totally worth the frustrations that we have from time to time. You know the ones I’m talking about… When he goes in the fridge after you tell him not to for a piece of pie that he’s not suppose to have until after supper takes a big handful of filling and looks so proud of himself, or when you walk out of the bedroom and from across the hallway you can see into the living room and there’s a baby kitten flying through the air, or the bullheaded child that thinks he knows better that you and you should be listening to him and not the other way around.
I love you more that you will ever know my sweet baby Glenn…

I’m glad you’ve startd blogging! Sorry about the flat tire incident – I have one that’s looking pretty worn, too, but we can’t afford to get it replaced until next paycheck. please hold out, LOL! your day with Glenn sounds so great, tho. He sounds like such a sweet and imaginative kid, and i totally know what you mean about those times making up for the more challenging ones!

I really beleive its the small things that make all the frustrations worth while, after all even some of the bad point will make you smile in time (i love the pie one, sounds like something my Becca would do)
