Don't accidentally bang the bottom of your foot (where your toe meets your foot) on a 3/8" drill bit that is on the ground when you are trying to save your big pin oak tree by drilling into it to put iron implants there.
Okay. So, I'm an idiot. And, I don't have the strength to drill into a live tree either. I did the research and these little capsule "implants" do an excellent job, esp on pin oaks (and our big one now looks quite sad). Ahhhhh...crap. I'm not sure that it will be okay to wait until Todd gets back???? If we do, we might be replacing two trees (since the other pin oak has already pretty much died from the same problem). Darn things anyway. Oh well...in the grand scheme of life and all.
The funniest part was that I had no clue that my foot was bleeding so much and while I was mad because I couldn't do it and hurt my foot, I started to put everything back in the garage. So, not only did I have to peroxide my food and bandage it, but I had to clean the blood off of the kitchen and garage floors, too. Honestly. Not my best day ever.
Add to it that these last couple of days I've really been lonely. I mean....up until now it was tolerable most times, but it's a good thing that it's time to head east because I really don't like being by myself anymore (well, you know, yes there are kids here, so I'm not alone, but.....). I need other adults, and as we speak even our neighbors suck because I'm the only one out here, watching ALL of the kids. Who knows where any of them are. Oh what the heck ever.
It was another long night for Kara going to sleep. I'm hanging strong hoping that it will get better soon. She just doesn't like going to bed most nights and gives me every excuse in the book. I think it's mostly her age. We're still nursing and then going to sleep (which she mostly doesn't seem to care about, though now and again she will ask me to have more, which I will deny....telling her that when the sun comes up, she will have another chance). That doesn't seem to be bothering her really....I think part of it is that she's TOO tired by the time we are going to bed. So.....we're going to try to do it earlier for a bit and see what happens. If she's sleeping by 7:30 or 8 latest, maybe it will be better.
Watching IDOL that I taped from tonight. I actually am having great fun this year watching. I don't vote ever, just love to hear/see people singing. Doesn't even matter who wins, though, I must admit, I'll buy a David Cook CD the moment it comes out!
Off to retape my sore foot....this is such a bad place to have a cut! I need to clean my house because my friend Ginger will be here tomorrow, but I don't even have the energy. I mean...it really isn't non-presentable, but I need to quick vacuum and stuff like that. blah....it will wait until after the library tomorrow because I'm just too pooped. I'm watching this and then going to bed. Maybe after a chocolate martini? Well...that won't be the same as if Todd were here to make it! He makes me the best martinis!!
