I am here.


this is the younger version of me playing in the dirt. apparently I enjoyed getting dirty from this time on....LOL.

I have been sooooo busy lately . here is the time frame from which I work with.

4:15 am my alarm goes off and I go and make coffee, or now Darren makes it at 4 so yeah!


430 am ----- some times I can blog at this time , but mostly this is when I can get my bible study done


445am is when I start making my lunch and Davids lunch and sort the laundry or do some odds and ends


500am is when D is sorta awake and ready to do some reading together and praying, or just talk about what is going on for the day. (he is trying)


530am out the door on the road, this is the time when I say an extra prayer or two or talk to my mom.


615am in the yard (place where I work) drink the rest of my coffee(I no longer bring a thermos, It is the tinkle factor, men don't like to stop that much..;) )

630am I have my orders of the day and head out to do------------- my job....

my job as of late has included : taking a truck (ford ranger) parking it on a softball field, pulling a "chalker" (basically a box with wheels and handles and a little whole in the back to make the line of chalk dust come out) out of the back then pulling a "spiker" (which is a large triangle with 5 inch spikes sticking out the bottom) out and placing 3 , 75lbs weights on the corners of this "spiker" , then after that then you place a 75lb wire woven mat behind it. and then drive around in a specific pattern on the field. when that is done then you chalk the lines and the batters box, and off to the next Field. there are on average 12-15 fields a day.

now if for some reason it is say raining and all the fields are out. our boss will pick about 4-5 of us and send us all out to one field , where we shovel and rake and move dirt for eight hours, this is a lot of work but it is sometimes fun.

at 300pm I get to go home

400 pm I actually get home at which point I have several options

option number one: walk the dog..... this happens rarely :option two sit with the kids and hear about their day, this happen sometimes, option three , take a shower and then eat dinner, then walk the dog. this happens a lot except I don't usually take a shower until the kids are in bed.

at about 8pm I am ready and most usually in bed.

that is what has been going on during the week. so blogging on the week ends works better, but I do sometimes comment on others .

it is way past my bed time so good night.

Oh goody, goody. A day in the life post from T. Very nice. Very busy day. Very tired T at the end. Does it make the weekend that much more sweet? How is Mr. Mom coming along?

Rachel said...

I see you are incredibly busy, and time with God is much more important than blogging at 5:00 in the morning so I guess I'll let it slide. Haha! It's good to hear from you. I hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend with your family!

Martha said...

Mostly we want you to know we still love you and we're still stopping by often. We know you're busy but even busy people need to know their friends care, right?
