I'm A Tired Girl

That is what the sasanqua camellias are looking like in my camellia jungle right now. They are so brilliant, almost preternaturally so. 

It was another Vergil and Glen working day today. Mr. Moon went and got the man this morning so that Jessie could have the car to come out when she wanted. The guys got to work right away and they designed a method of getting the boards up on the roof that didn't involve Mr. Moon climbing half way up a ladder and reaching them up to Vergil the Roof Man.

They make a good team those two. One with lots and lots of experience and one with a good amount of experience himself who is an engineer. 

So Jessie did come out and we decided to go to Monticello to eat lunch at the Mexican restaurant which we did. But first, Levon had to open his birthday present from Mer and Bop. 

What I got Levon was some sort of Pokemon cards thing at Costco and despite the expression on his face in that picture, he was so thrilled. As was August who pleaded with me to get him the same thing for his Christmas present. And of course I will- that's easy. 

At this point, they didn't want to go to go eat lunch because they wanted to stay at the house and play with the Pokemon cards but I bribed them by promising them each a dollar in quarters to put in the trinket machines at the restaurant. 

So off we drove to Monticello and we had another delicious lunch there. 

I had never noticed how very anatomically manly those bulls are before.

As close to a smile as I could get them to make.

But August really wanted me to take this picture. So I did.

And then we came home. The boys were pushing for us to take them to Wag the Dog but the whole trinket machine thing had gotten out of hand and neither Jessie nor I wanted to fight the battles that would surely arise at Wag with them wanting crappy, broken toys and Jessie not wanting to buy them crappy, broken toys. 

The afternoon was mostly spent with August doing homework, Levon drawing some pictures, me reading a book to Levon, Jessie and I yawning a lot, and then the boys doing some Wii playing. They played so hard their hair was wet from sweat when they left. 

I got the sheets hung out earlier and I've made up the bed with them so that is done. I think a little of the mystery ailment I've had has lingered on today and that's making me sleepier than usual but oh well. 

The men appear to be done for the day and I suppose I better start making our supper. I apologize for this deadly dull post. You've all been with me before to the Mexican Restaurant in Monticello, you've seen one trillion pictures of grandchildren sitting in those seats in the kitchen, and you've heard about the clean sheets I've put on the bed every Friday for eons. 

I'll try my best to have something new and exciting to discuss tomorrow. Meanwhile, I just heard my husband in the kitchen trying to get Siri's attention. 
"Hey Siri."
"Hey Siri."
"Hey Siri, wake your ass up!"

We do have our fun here, don't we?

Love...Ms. Moon
