State Fair Part III - Didn't happen :(

Well I know ya'll were looking for some more exciting and fun things from the State Fair and pictures from Percy Sledge but man, I didn't go.

First off I woke up at 4pm to see if Troy wanted to go but he didn't feel much like it and honestly neither did I. Although, I wanted to see Percy Sledge, I still had to work Saturday night, so I had to pass. Once Troy said that I knew I could make something simple to eat since the kids were gone, Troy was snoozing on the couch and it was just me. I made a good ol' fashion PB&J, toasted. Wow, how good could that taste. It's been so long and how I missed a good ol' fashion samich (sandwich for those that don't speak redneck). I used smooth, creamy peanut butter and some awesome Blackberry Jam that a friend (Garrett) made and gave to me. Yummy! That was a nice treat for myself. I started to watch some TV and then found out Blake went to Kings Dominion alone instead of the Fair with his brother.

Blake text me and said he was with a friend, but not the friend he said he was going to be with at Kings Dominion. I was so heated, and then he did it. He threw in the "Cameron's the Favorite Card". There's nothing more than that I hate. So, I had Cameron go and pick him up and they went back to the fair. Therefore, I didn't see my children at all on Saturday.

Anyway, back to my day lol. So, as Troy looked like a turtle under his blankey's it was freezin in the house. I made him get up and start a fire in the woodstove. There's nothing better than the smell of a fresh fire in the woodstove. But, let me ask you this, who starts a fire in a woodstove with some kindling and burnt motor oil? My redneck husband does, that's who. Although, my father in law's girlfriend says she starts hers with lighter fluid. So, who knew??? *shrugs shoulders* Give me some dry cedar and newspaper and I'm good. However, the start of 50 degree weather translates around my house "Arguments".

I know that sounds so strange. However, Blake absolutely HATES firewood, anything to do with firewood. We fight him every winter about firewood. If he has to split it, he'll stay in the house and say he has to go to the bathroom. Who in their right mind is in the bathroom for two freakin hours. Blake, that's who. Then if he has to put wood on the porch, again he has to "go to the bathroom", two hours later it's done. If he has to fill the woodbox in the house.... that's right you guessed it... he has to "go to the bathroom". I don't know what will happen once Cameron leaves the house. So, it's starting now, woodstove going and the fights begin. Got to love it.

Anyway, after I sat up for a bit, the air was so crisp, I wanted to go back into my room, lay down pull the covers over my head and watch some netflix until I had to get ready for work. You know this weather is so perfect for sleeping and I did just that, I fell asleep. I didn't wake up until 10pm and had to be at work by 11pm. Wow, I overslept on a night schedule. Who does that? Apparently, I do that. I even forgot the Cinnamon pickles I promised a girl at work. I must bring them in tonight. So, of course it was a mad dash out of the house and to work. What a crazy, crazy start of my day.....

Now, I can't wait until my day off because with this weather comes my baking in the kitchen. I love to bake and I'm so excited. I love to cook on Thanksgiving and Christmas and fill the house with that aroma. Ohhhh I'm excited thinking about it folks. You know we'll be doing a lot of talking about food soon.

In the mean time enjoy and sit back because this is going to be a long ride........
