o-HI-o

i love this girl

I'm leaving for a trip to Ohio today.

Why, you ask?

I'm still trying to figure that out myself........

rain boots

This is what I should have looked like this morning:

Hungry and pissed because I didn't have time for breakfast.
On a mission to get Monday morning over and done with.
Oh, you say it's muddy outside?
No worries. I have my rain boots on and a cup of coffee, now get out of my way.

There was one thing Kate and I had in common this morning:

I was hungry and pissed because I didn't have time for breakfast either. (or in her case, food in general)

I did NOT however, have rain boots & a cup of steaming joe.

I did have black flats on and a yellow raincoat. I just didn't think about our fresh top soil and lack of stepping stones from the trailer to the car.

"ANDREW, COME HELP ME! I'M SINKING!" I realized I couldn't take a step left or right without piling more mud onto my ballet flats.

My dream man rescued me. Well, let's re-phrase that.

I made my dream man get out of bed, pick me up and place me in the car. I didn't have time to wait on new shoes so I went to school with mud on my shoes and cleaned them in the gutter by the sidewalk. I literally stood in the gutter with the rain water rushing by, wiping the mud away from my somewhat ruined flats.

Did I mention I had not had a single droplet of roasted coffee beans at that point in the morning?


I DID however, score the permission to go buy rain boots from my dream man.
That's progress for a Monday.

"I'm sorry about being a horrid troll"

That was my recent text to Andrew. I'm pretty sure I looked like this guy a few times over the weekend.

found here

I don't even think Olivia wanted to be around me at some points.

Excuses, excuses...I was just having one of those weekends. Off and on.....but it's kinda hard to stay mad at a person when you come back from "taking a breather" and find your front door covered in these:

That guy was a floor message.

He's a dear.

And no...I don't mean a deer like the one I found roaming around the Fan last week:

{ cute dress.}

He is near and dear to me and puts up with hunger pains, mood swings and my constant "i feel nauseous" temper tantrums.

It's a tough job, but somebodys gotta do it.

red nails

I'm gonna stop this two week slump i've had.

(does anyone else get moody in the summer? I swear it's the heat)

I'm turning over a new leaf.

AND I painted my nails bright red. I never wear polish.

This is a fresh start.

ps. Andrew snuck behind me and took it this pic while we were watching the sun set over the front field. It's my favorite spot.

just so you know

the view from my window

I'm a little new to this but here it goes.

I'll start sweet and simple.

After having a bit of a grumpy day and after a few storms and showers, this appeared:

And now everything doesn't seem so bad. Rainbows have a way of doin' that for you.
