Family day was great fun. We celebrated Jason’s birthday and ate too much good food. These are my favorite type of days.
The kids all went to Emporia and helped Michelle and Tagen fill two cars full of stuff from the house in Emporia. I stayed home and took a break from helping load things. From what I heard, it went fast. Michelle, Tagen and his girlfriend got it all unloaded in the barn when they came back home.
I got up at 5:30 again this morning and could not fall back asleep. I got up at 6:00 and started my day. I am really tired tonight and trusting I will sleep well tonight. I am getting desperate for a good night’s sleep.
Ellexia is spending one more night here and then I will take her to town when I go to town tomorrow. Tagen has some errands to run and I have some to do so we will all head to town early afternoon and get things taken care of.
I need to find a good mechanic to give Tagen’s pickup the once over and let us know if anything needs fixed. Anyone have a suggestion as to who I should use? I haven’t had to do something like that for a long time and have no clue where to start. The truck has been sitting for a couple of years. It ran well before it sat so hoping nothing went bad while it sat. Does Dieker’s do that type of thing? I totally trust them.
Ellexia and I only have two weeks to go before we fly to LA and then go on our cruise. Time to start making a packing list and getting things lined up. Good thing Tagen is doing the chicken chores for me. I know they will be well taken care of while I am gone.
I fixed the kiddos pancakes and scrambled eggs for dinner. Ellexia cracked the eggs for me. The first one she cracked was a double yoke egg. Tagen had brought up a normal size egg today and that was the double yoke one. I used up all the eggs I have gotten so far. We should soon start to get more than two or three a day and the eggs will gradually get to be full sized. By the first of August we should be back in the egg selling business.
This momma’s heart is full of gratitude tonight. Spending a day with all the kids is a treat for me. I needed a fun day and today fit the bill.
Grateful all the kids came home today, grateful two more loads have been taken care of, and grateful for double yoked chicken eggs.
