Living on West Tulsa Time

I took Eddie to court today.

You know me I worried that he would have to do jail time or community service, would have a suspended license for another few months or years. Nope, just a fine and that's set up on payments starting next month. Phew. I said a prayer of thanks on the way home.

I'm so stressed out. I need chocolate and exercise. Time to do the latter.

Yesterday was a busy day for us as well. I took G-man to school and came home to crack a whip at Eddie. He was supposed to work on the website for his shop during nap time. He was putting it off until yesterday afternoon forgetting that he would not be here. So I watched the CBS morning show and crocheted while he fixed up the website. We then started preparing for the busy day. Fixed lunch for eating on the run, packed snacks and extra drinks. When G-man got off the bus he was shocked to be loaded up in the truck to start his appointments. At noon we were supposed to see Tammy the psychologist. Unfortunatley she was in court. I did get 20 minutes of uninterupted crochet time in. We headed over to see LouAnn and Caroline the Occupational and speech therapists. We spent 2 hours there for 2- 45 minute appointments. G-man did great with motivation that daddy was watching him not me. I got to crochet until I ran out of yarn. I knew I should have packed another skein. I did pick up another project to work on but it's complex and makes it hard to do and watch out for Tiger. Afterward we went to the pastor's house. They have pecan trees and lost 2 in the last year or so. The harvesters take down the bad tree and plant a new one but they leave the cut wood stacked in the back 40 as Brother Foster puts it. He and the family no longer have a fireplace so they don't need the wood. We picked up a bed full and a used chainsaw. The Huskvarna runs but the chain would not cut butter. I bought Eddie a sharpening set for his Dremel way back when, once we find it we should be fine. I figure we might get a rick a week from somewhere.

Eddie started a fire Sunday night. Boy did the livingroom heat up fast. We learned a few things. the doors to the "stove" insert have vents. The fire can be controlled by adjusting the vents. However we didn't know this and just shut the doors. Eddie was shocked when the fire went out. We smothered it. He quickly opened the door and woosh the fire sprang back to life. We also have a blower to fan the heat. I turned it on just to get a feel for it. Ick that stunk. It really needs to be serviced alas that will have to wait for another day. I need to get cracking on costumes for the boys. G-man wants to be a ghost. I said Tiger was going to be a tiger but now I'm not so sure. I can't find my orange material. I probably cut it up for quilt squares, lol. that's my project for the day to find the orange material.
