My Goodness I'm Sore

Ok just because it was my birthday yesterday doesn't mean I need to feel really old this morning. I raked leaves yesterday and moved stuff around in the backyard and helped take the trampoline down. Oh I am feeling it now. I can't believe how stiff and sore I am. And my neighbor gave me his "Toro" blower/picker upper so I used that as well. I said to him oh I get to use a man toy he gave me the Tim the toolman Taylor grunt and said he's Tim and I can be Timmy. I'm going to miss my neighbors! We have been so lucky here. Our neighbor hood has been wonderful.

So it is 8am and cement is being poured at this very moment. I so wanted to be there but I had to stay home. The girls are still in bed. Jordan was the energizer bunny last night. Did not go to sleep till 11:30 last night. And Mr. Tyson was up till 11pm. So he was up with dad this morning to go so he will be tired today.

And lets see in about 9 hours (whos counting) my mom will be here. Woo hoo. I wanted to tell the kids yesterday that she was coming, but I held back. It's going to be so nice having her here.

Yesterday my inlaws decided to take all of the outdoor stuff to the acreage before it snows. I told them to leave a few things so the kids have something to play with. I happened to look outside and there were a few things I specifically said leave here were on the truck. I banged on the window (only because it was stuck and I couldn't open it) I said no leave it here. And MIL says well I thought you were going to throw it out. (little tykes kitchen) I'm like no the kids need some toys here. We're not moving this weekend. Then I told her leave 2 lawn chairs here. And what do I see she's heading to the truck. I said hello I want two left here. Her reply "well I don't know when they will be moved then". I was pissed off I don't care leave them I yelled. My mom likes to sit down if the weather is nice outside with the kids. But then again they may not want to be outside playing....since there's nothing to play with! Chee whiz. I understand that the trampoline had to be taken down. We find you get better wear and tear if you take it down for the winter. And since they are calling for the white stuff on Sunday we figured we better do it now. Last year we got snow in the middle of October and it never left. So we still had all the kids toys out and the smaller trampoline never got taken apart. The plastic around the edges took a bit of a beating. So we wanted to be more careful with the bigger one.

It is so quiet at this moment its nice. I do plan on heading out to the acreage when the girls get up. I need to take pictures. Trev was suppose to take my digital but he forgot. Brother in law has one out there so hopefully they will remember to take pics for me. Oh I think I hear someone coming better go. Chow.
