Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

I got them at Tractor Supply Company on clearance at the end of the winter season a few years back. I really wish I could find some bib overalls for women though. I saw them once at Big R but they were way to large for my short self. They would be so nice for doing barn work in the spring and fall when those pink ones are too hot.

I got mine at Tractor Supply. Mine are purple, I am not really a "pink" kind of girl. I would like to find some for summer but I haven't had much luck.

House building is a PITA! I know, I know, I know....it will be worth it in the end. Anyone who is in charge of their household paperwork and bills will understand though: even though hours and hours of work get put it and you are mentally drained, there is nothing tangible as a result and that is frustrating.

It has been 1.5 months of making calls, filing forms, doing paperwork and though we are probably closer to getting something that we could touch and see, I am feeling worn down. I just wish we had an actual ground breaking date. That would feel good.

We have a partial contract with several details still yet to nail down, the bank is chosen, contractor picked, house plans done but are a bit stalled with the heating system. Ideally, we'd like to install a close-looped geothermal unit and DH's father does HVAC, including geothermal. The issue has been nailing down a cost and making sure the cost is something we feel comfortable with paying. Waiting for everyone else to keep their notes together and give me something solid is

Yes...been there, done that in Canada...hang in there...because it just gets worse...and then...the day you get to move into your new home...it all becomes totally worth it!!!

And they have wrinkle cream and hair dye to cover all that stress

How do know I bought wrinkle cream this week!

 

[bonbean01]

because I also have done what you are doing right now and was raising children and dealing with horses at the time and fitting music lessons and gym classes, etc. in there with trips to the contractor.

It can be a streesing series of events. I give daily Thanks for being Blessed with the best wife that a man could have. She does all of the planning and all that includes and I provide the grunt labor to get things done when we reach that point.

Wow, guess I have been a bit absent in my BYH journal.

Just been a busy year. Trying to find balance of "me time" and manage 3 kids, farm, home, job is sometimes not much of a balance.

Ah well.

I was thinking the same thing about mine.
