I just LOVE :love sitting in town and waiting to wait. Oh wait I don't go to town for a reason, literally to save my own life. Oh wait B double e double r un. And feed gotta get feed.

I had 'hurry up and wait' trained into me well by the Navy. I can queue and wait just fine without noticing.

Good morning all. On the waiting and for me simply going to town. A while back I waited a couple of years to get glasses after mine were to messed up to see through just because I didn't want to go to town and really didn't want to go to town and wait.
Has anyone priced a set of encyclopedia's lately. I know, i know, you can just look it up on your phone. Well I can't and I don't believe in giving the kids a smart device until they can get a job and buy there own.

I hate going into to town too even more a bigger suburb depending on what is needed. My local feed store is probably the only place I don't mind going, and the hardware store. I wish that I could just order everything and have it delivered at the end of my driveway. My oldest got a job at McDonalds in the neighboring town, she starts next Monday, good for her to do something other than school work and hanging with her one close friend.

This weekend is going to have amazing weather, so the girls and I will be outside as much as possible. I will sweep up the leaves, maybe, and just soak in some sun. My two girls are going to the farm down the road this morning to help plant garlic and play outside. I have to work, boo. I am hoping to be done at noon so that I can spend the afternoon with them.

Need to start thinking about what to get the kids for Christmas, nothing huge of course but we always get them a couple new things and then clothes, and some treats they only get for special occasions.

Instead of encyclopedias I take my kids to the library and get a stack of nonfiction books. But it sounds like you might be far enough from a library that this wouldn't be practical. I'm about 6 miles from a small library.
