Memorial Day weekend...what's that?!

So this is Memorial Day weekend. Most people have cook-outs, pool parties, go camping or just relax. Uhm, not us...in the farming game - it's just a way to get an extra day in the fields...

Saturday I had to work for just half the day, then I came home & took a looong nap.

B-rad planted...

Today I went to jazzercise & then to the grocery store. Where I had to listen to some ladies kid SCREAMING through the whole store. Really? You're kidding me right? Dear parents - no one wants to hear your children screaming thorought the entire grocery store - especially me. XOXO - Jaime Mac.

B-rad planted....

I had plans for tomorrow to go see the Sex & the City 2 movie, but my friend that was going with me had to cancel. I could go by myself, but I don't know if I will be inspired to get up, get a shower & drive in by myself. I also need to work on some jewelry invitations. I have procrastinated & they must be mailed Tuesday so I have to do them sometime tomorrow.

B-rad had planned to be planting...

The boys are coming down the home stretch on getting planting done. Then, B-rad will have to go back over ALL the corn ground & put down nitrogen. Then - he'll be done...kinda...there's always something to do, but he can relax a little more after planting & nitrogen are done.

B-rad stopped by the house today before going out to the field to get some Gatorade & snacks to take with him. It's hard to see them, but the faithful & loyal steeds had to go up & check out what Brad had on that trailer.
He had to tell the kids bye...

He was having trouble with the tractor leaking oil. And just to get done planting, he had been 'band-aiding' it & re-filling it with oil. He called me today & said, "When you go to work Tuesday, find out how long it will take to get the tractor fixed." (Uhm, I work at the tractor fixing place...). He also said he wouldn't be home tonight until either : A) it rained or B) he was finished. I got a call around 10:00 saying the tractor was totally ca-put. And B-rad was not happy....

I hope if you got to: have a cookout, a pool party, went camping or travelled to see friends or family - you had a great time. As for us - perhaps 4th of July will be our cookout/pool party/camping weekend?!
