Life can get Crazy.  This past couple of weeks have been enough to put me in the loony bin.  A week ago today we drove to West Yellowstone.  It was a quick trip with all the kids and grandkids.  Unfortunately, we were short one kid, her spouse and some grandkids.  Still we managed to have a good time, visited Yellowstone Park, drove a lot, hiked a lot, ate a lot and slept a little.  I woke up on Friday and had a sick stomach.  It kind of messed with me for the whole trip.  We had to be home for Sunday as I had some obligations I needed to do.  As soon as I walked in the door on Saturday evening, the phone rang and someone was having power problems.  I went to do a service call and got back late in the evening.  My irrigation turn was from 10:00 PM Saturday til 2:00 AM Sunday.  I got most things irrigated and at a little after 1:00 AM  I was just too tired to continue, I sent the water down the ditch, went in and went to bed.  Sunday started early as I had a 7:00 AM meeting and it went until nearly 9 when I had to be to another meeting as the speaker.  After that, I relaxed until Nan was ready to leave with her sisters for their yearly outing.

            My computer crashed twice.  Both times while I was trying to finish a form requesting mediation/arbitration for our property that the state is taking for the new road.  I messed with the computer for a couple of days and suddenly, after a repair program and a restore to an earlier date, it started working again.

            I’m still trying to find work, as I haven’t picked up anything new in quite a few months.  I had to do a punch list on a job I completed, and am now done with that job.  Now I’m down to no jobs.  I do have a couple of jobs that I bid, that look like I’ll be doing them.  I’m even hopeful that they’ll start in about a week.

            I seem to be getting pressure from all sides.  If it isn’t someone pressuring me about work, it’s the Red Cross wanting to do a summer blood drive…which I haven’t time to handle.  I have a deadline to meet, filling out a roster of youth to work with Special Needs Youth.

            I have a truck in the shop needing a repair and I am just worn out. 

            My highlight for the week was a tee shirt that made me laugh.  It said “I childproofed my house but the kids keep getting in”
