I've been so busy...

I forget what it is like to spend any time on the computer for any amount of time longer than to check my checking balance. I find myself asking 'when the hell did this happen?' Honestly I don't know. It just feels like everyday we have somewhere to go, something to do. I don't mind when it is something for Mason but let me tell you I am tired of the doctors office.
So what have we been up to lately... I know we have been busy so I should be able to come up with at least 5 things but I am drawing a blank. Funny how that happens...

I think Austin is trying to drive me crazy. Every night he starts a new project. I can go outside and there are 5 projects waiting to be finished. There is stuff all over thedriveway. When I explained to him that he needed to finish what he starts he got a little peeved with me. That is fine because everytime I open the back door to let the dog out I get a little peeved with him. I don't like chaos and that is what it feels like outside.

I know I should be a little bit more understanding with him but I just can't be. I realize he is stressed out because of the layoffs going on at work but that doesn't mean he needs to come home and destroy stuff. Okay maybe not destroy but I am sure he would feel a whole lot better if he actually finished something.

I have told him that tonight we are finishing one of his little projects so he had better decide which one. I don't think he was too happy with me but then again I don't care. I told him we could get the patio cleaned up or the fence finished or the weeds last years flowers picked up but that at least one would be getting done. He said we could work on the rocks. Um... yeah... that wasn't on the list.

You see we have rock around the perimeter of the house and there is nothing planted in it. Just rock to the sidewalk that goes around the house. Well this last summer there were a lot of weeds so Austin, in his nervous energy, decided that he would take up all the rock and put down new paper so that the weeds won't grow. He has half the rocks up but it will take more than one night to get it done and I really want to get something finished tonight because it is to rain all weekend. He is pretty sure we can get it done in one night. I am going to call his bluff though because between me dealing with supper and getting Mason down for bed there is no way it will get done. I think I will just lock him in the office with his latest project.

I have no clue what possessed him but he decided to try his hand at stained glass. Let me just say this is fairly expensive little hobby. I love stained glass. I love to work with my hands and be creative like that but I am fairly certain that my husbands attention span is not long enough for stained glass right now.
