Alone Again.......Naturally

For the second time in two weeks I am a single parent. My husband was gone at scout camp for an entire week. Now I think that is just ridiculous. When you are leaving your wife and three small children home alone for an entire week with the responsibilities of maintaining a 3 acre parcel of land and countless numbers of animals to care for, the camp should only be 3 days long!!!

This next trip that he is on is one he chose to participate in. He and a buddy are driving to Oregon to pick up 6 Dexter cows. It's going to take 3 days of non stop driving and I worry. They already had two flat tires on the horse trailer, the exhaust clamp break, and they picked up a guy on the side of the road that had run his car off of the road. Too crazy.

My dear husband also decided to skip Father's Day with his children. That one bugs me a little. The kids were looking forward to making him breakfast and coloring pictures for him. Sigh. Oh well. I married a man that grew up in a family where his own father took off out of town on birthdays and Father's Day. What else should I expect?

So for now I'm on my own with three rowdy kids. Hopefully things calm down a little bit and I can get something done before my husband gets home.

Baptism invitation pictures to come!!!
