I am having one of those days where I should have stayed in bed (or maybe staying in bed was my problem). Started with over sleeping and missing church. Then I went out to start yard work. Couldn't get the bleepity, bleep, bleep, bleep, weedwacker to start. Hubby came out and it started right up for him.

Then I found that my neighbor has parked his truck on our side of the street and left for the day (that really makes it hard to mow the hillside and edge the yard). Then the bleeping weedwacker ran out of string. Mind you this is a new weedwacker so of course it doesn't take the same size string as the old one. I remembered I had a spool of string left by the previous owner and it was the right size. So I loaded it up only to have the bleeping string break as soon as it started spinning. So yes, weedwacker string has an expiration date if anyone wonders. I headed off to the store to get new string. No problems there except I was gonna stop and get some lunch but forgot. Loaded it up with new string and had hubby start it again.

Then it decided it was too hot and stopped running. I just set it down in the shade and walked away only to notice poison ivy growing in the crook of the kids favorite climbing tree. At that point I came inside to sew. LOL! Was that ever a mistake. I have never in my whole life had more trouble reading a pattern. I have absolutely no clue what the heck kind of fly these shorts are going to have as it does not resemble anything I have ever seen. For some reason the buttonhole goes on the flap that goes behind the zipper and if I am reading the directions correctly the button goes in front of the zipper. I really cannot visualize where they are going with this thing. So I think I am going to call it a day and go hide in my bedroom. Oh wait the kids want to light off their fireworks tonight. I have a BAD feeling I am gonna loose and eye or something
