Well, the boys & I went for a drive to look at some acreage that has an old farmhouse on it. Delapitated, I'm sure, but H and I thought it would be fun just to have our own 11 acres to hunt on and fix the house up slowly -- we wouldn't have to live there.
Well, anyone who knows the 'country' knows that a "farm road" can be very long and so we never actually found the property. Oh well, it was something to do to get us out of the house. It's still the weekends that are hardest. We're now eating McD's (yum - sarcasm) and hopefully I'll actually get a nap. Surprisingly, none of the boys fell asleep in the car and we were gone for over 2 hours.
The funny thing was that the description of the land actually said "watch out for snakes -- bring a hoe or something" I am dead serious -- reading this as a city girl that I am, I just had to laugh out loud and figure it sounded just like something our family would get ourselves into. H said if we get chickens, they'll kill all the snakes. We also were joking last night that I guess you can get a 22 w/ snake shot and we would go out there shooting snakes for fun. I think I've been in TX too long It's actually growing on me.
