Quiet Life Homestead

Wednesday - Trip Rehash and Other Stuff

I ended up only getting about 3-4  hours of sleep Monday night.  We went to bed early, but the dog was freaking out that everyone was in bed and felt it was her duty to jump and bark at everyone.  We got up around 4am and were on the road by 4:45am.  We were at corporate by about 10am and walked around, taking the tour, checking out the Al Stohlman Museum (really cool), and finally getting to put faces with names.  The kids really enjoyed the tour through the warehouse and getting to see how some things are done.  We have a Blue Bell Ice Cream factory in Coweta (the town where Charlie works) and may see about getting a tour through there.  I know the kids and I don't make a large group but maybe we can join some other homeschoolers or others for a tour.

We got home last night around 8pm but then left again to go out to eat (El Chico - yeah!) and then came home to crash.  Poor dog hasn't been played with much for the last few days so her Daddy had to spend time playing with her until he fell asleep.  Then she decided to terrorize me!  But we finally got her to sleep so we could.

Okay, if there are any guys reading this, please skip this paragraph.........I've been having a red place on one of my breasts that I'm pretty sure is caused by my bra.  It's only there when I wear this particular bra.  Well, when I took it off last night I noticed it had become a blister or something and had bled.  Any advice?  Charlie wants me to go to the doctor, but I'm wanting to try some antibiotic cream or something for the time being, doctors being so expensive.  I only have two bras and they're both pretty old.  The other one makes an owie on my shoulder because of scratchy material.  I need to purchase a few more, but will have to wait a while for the extra money to do that. 

Its sprinkling outside and theres a sort of hazy look to the surroundings.  Its going to be a humid day, I can tell.  I just hope it isn't going to be too warm.  The boys are working at noon today and while they are at it, I'm taking Bethany, who turned 12 yesterday, to Super Target so she can spend her birthday money.  I may see about getting a bra while we're there.  Charlie decided that he wants both boys to go to Wichita, so it will be just me during the day for 4 days.  That will be weird!  Hopefully I'll get some serious cleaning done.  I know the cat will go crazy with Bethany gone, she always does.  Too bad she can't stay at Mom's as well!  You know what, that is an idea.  I may talk with Mom about it and see what she thinks.  Then again, the mice will probably try to take over without Holly the Brave here.  She'd sure have a great time when she got back though!

Its 9 now, so I should shower, get dressed, and start my day in earnest.......
