The Man Comes Back

YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!! Glenn comes home in an hour!!!! Time to pass the torch of the insane mulch pile to my man. He has 4 days to complete his mission.

Breakdown

G's crazy schedule has finally got to me. It was Saturday and my mom had come over to help me with painting new baseboards so I could work on mulching. My mom was entertaining Ry and I was at my wits end with her. She had been on the whine station all morning and the only adjustment she had was her volume (loud or louder). I broke down in the kitchen. It was small and brief but it only took a month of G being the sky warrior for me to wish I had a normal 9 to 5 husband.

Zoo & Mulch

This morning I went to meet my friend & her son at the Columbus Zoo. We had lots of fun checking out all sorts of animals and even learned about a new one called an Okapi. It was dark reddish brown with camouflage markings on its hindquarters and legs (zebra legs). It was really interesting. We also had lunch and finished off our visit with a boat ride.

After we left the zoo we stopped at the grocery store and picked up some goodies then I came home and was greeted by a MASSIVE mulch pile in the driveway. I knew it was coming but it was everywhere. It was covering 3/4 of the driveway across (and it's a 2 car driveway). I wasn't sure if I would be able to manage to get the car past it but I did. Now my concern is will I be able to backout without hitting it. I thought the only way I could manage that was to actually mulch. So I spent an hour mulching and only got a portion of the front of our house done and I barely made a dent in the mulch. I suspect I will be out there everyday for the next 7 days mulching during Ry's afternoon nap. My husband is so lucky being gone for the next 7 days for work.
