An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Chaos!
That’s what it has been around this house since I got home Sunday evening. Two days of driving with kids in tow, and then trying to recouperate, only to turn around yesterday, and have to drive to Jackson to go bra shopping for Jr (no, they do not have her size at Wally World….sigh….), then drive another couple of hours to take her home. Honestly, I do not want to get behind the wheel of any vehicle again for a month. I can only dream.
I have to ask. Why are there so many driveways going nowhere on HWY 69? Seriously. There are tons of paved driveways, anywhere from just a few feet to a couple of hundred, that head straight into trees. Going nowhere. I’ve often wondered why they were there. We came up with a few theories, but it still doesn’t make a lot of sense.
While Ick is here, he’s got a ‘honey-do’ list a mile long. Hey….he’s young, he can do stuff we can’t anymore! We’re old, give us a break. 
One of the major reasons he came along was to bring my really cool yard swing, that wouldn’t fit in my 4 foot bed. I do NOT want to hear about my ‘immitation’ truck, or cruck, as the brat refers to it. Well, the Mr and Ick headed out to the man cave this morning to put it together, only to find, there were suppose to be TWO boxes, not just one. So, we just spent some time on the phone with the place where I bought it, politely telling them they better get that other box here ASAP! I’ve no doubt he and Short Person would like to go home eventually, and waiting around for the seat of a swing was NOT in their plans. 
There is also some shelf building and perhaps little carpet ripping and tile laying in the bathroom in his very near future. Heh. Not to mention a little aid in finishing that bathroom project of removing wall paper and painting I started before the health went to hell in a hand basket. Poor guy!
But hey, look at it this way. He did learn how to make a pen last night.
