Day Forty Three - Summer, Summer Where For Art Thou?

 Alright, if you are a follower of my blog you will have previous knowledge to the fact that my life is a little insane, I have so much on my plate that I could snap any day and that today was the day I had to get a crap load of stuff done around the house, perticularily outside.  I stepped out my back door at 6:17 am this morning and have just come in now...8:30pm.  Again I have to say that I have the world's best Dad.  That guy weed wacked, raked, dug, carried garbage, loaded a trailer to go to the dump and left to drive my daughter to work, make doors for my shed and take my son to get his hair cut.  He really is a superman in disguise!  Did I mention that he is going to be 80 years old...thats right folks the man will be 80 in January 2012.  I had a friend come over and help too.  So I would say 3/4 of work that needed to get done happened.  We ran into some troubled areas that caused delays.....that is my polite way of saying that something always freaking goes wrong!!!!!!  Geoff tried to start the weed wacker, lol, it sparked and smoked so much I could see it from the deck and he was at the other end of the yard.  Needless to say it went into the trailer that is marked for the dump.  Then the power washer wouldn't work, the garden hose broke, my clothes line broke, I drilled into my thumb....this list could go on and on.
Had to make a trip to Home Depot again to pick up some supplies to help us carry on, my dad brought his weed wacker but ran out of the twine.  Let's talk about the weather now!  All week long the forecast has said warm and sunny for Saturday. Last night it changes....now the weather report is cloudy, cool with a chance of rain.  Ok since when is the damn report ever right........TODAY!!!!! Oh yeah, I wore a fall fleece jacket all flipping day cause I was freezing!  Everytime I wanted to rake or do something it was spitting.  The one and only time we saw the sun all day was when we were in Home Depot and coming out I said to my friend "Great, sunny now wont be when we get home" and it wasn't!!!!  The sun had totally disappeared by the time we drove home.....a big 10 minute drive if that.  Does the big guy up above need to be reminded how the seasons go....spring, summer, fall and winter!!!!  We had a yuk spring and now it's supposed to be summer!  We are having fall weather....like October rainy crap!  It's cold and not nice and it is making me very grumpy and very sore.  This damp weather is killing my leg.  The pain is becoming unbearable and I cannot take anything at this point.  I am not a happy camper!  Please summer come visit....I need to get some stuff done and I cannot without your help!  If you do not want to help well too damn bad!  This is going to become a hostile situation soon.  This is the last warning......Let the sun shine or else!
