What a weekend...

It is Monday. As much as I usually don't like Monday's I must say that it might be an improvement from the weekend. Actually I didn't have a bad weekend, but lots of stuff went wrong....

Friday was good. We went to Fireside to eat and I had a FABULOUS steak (I love eating there). Then we came home and went to bed, my kind of night!

Saturday morning we got up, oh about 9:00 or so, got around kind of slow, but everything was fine. We had planned on sorting and moving some cattle and Kim and Doug had offered to help. Well on their way home from Thayer, they found the St. Paul bar. This was for ruritan though as we wanted to check out the band for the Rodeo on the 3rd. When we hadn't heard from them, we knew they must of had a good time at the bar and were working on getting around for the day. Well they showed up as we were on our way out the door to check cattle. Well this made Nick angry (I am not really sure why, but it did, because we were already "behind"). Anyways we got all of the cattle caught and it was working out pretty well. After a bit Doug showed up (he had to do some propane stuff). Well he was not very patient and the cattle could tell. So one of them got kind of hot headed and words started to fly. Anyways after we were all done and got them loaded we were off to Fort Scott. We get to Fort Scott and are getting ready to unload when Doug accidentally lets the mommas out before Nick had all of the babies out of the other trailer. Well this is bad because the mommas take off running and if their babies are not there to go with them, sometimes they won't come back for them. Well, this made Nick angry. So poor Nicholas picks up our newest baby and tried to carry her to where the mommas are going. Well They cross the creek and Nick gives up. Kim told us to just load the baby back up and drive across it. Nick said it was too muddy. Well after a bit of debate we loaded the baby and away we went (Nick had me put my truck in 4 wheel drive before we even headed that way). Well he was right, shouldn't have crossed right there. We got stuck. Truck, trailer, and all. Now, Nick has lost it. He is mad. I mean like REALLY mad, like red faced mad. Thank goodness his dad had chains on his truck and with some planning, Doug hooked us to his truck and pulled us out. No harm, no foul, just some lost time. After everyone had calmed down a little we went and did lunch at Wendy's, the guys headed home in one truck and Kim and I in the other. Nick, Doug, and Lonnie were headed back out to our house to try to catch a cow that we need to sell that got away from us this morning. Well once again no luck, she ran into the pond, and as a result MORE lost time. After giving up on her and heading back in Hepler, we load all that we need to go set corner posts and work on fence out at the pasture that we rented. All seems to be well, the guys are starting to cool down. We get 2 of the 5 corners set that we needed and we are headed to the last 3 and once again we get stuck. This time it is in our flatbed and Nick got it REALLY stuck, like almost to the bottom of the doors stuck. Oh boy. Yep. What a great day. Well we had the little tractor out there because that is what we were digging the corners with, so we thought we would try to get it out with that. What makes this so bad is that everyone had drove back in this part all week. Nick even bush-hogged it and left NO tracks, like none at all, and now...well different story. Well we get some chains and Doug thought he could probably pull it out with the little tractor. No luck fellas. Surprise, surprise. The little tractor got stuck. So after we unhooked the truck Doug started working on getting the little tractor out. Finally after like an hour (more productive use of time) Doug got the little tractor out. We proceeded to set the last three corners and then head home at like 7. What a day. The boys thought they needed a beer (and I was thinking that I wanted one too, if I could) so we decided we would go out to eat. We got ready and finished listening to the ball game and met his parents to go eat. We all decided that we were too tired to go anywhere really so we thought we would just go to Pizza Hut. After our day I don't know what were thinking, thinking that was a good idea. Guess what, it was a VERY bad idea. Long story short, we got a BURNT pizza. We are talking like the cheese on top by the crust was BLACK. It was horrible. We actually ordered 2 pizzas and were hoping that the second one would be better, and after like 5 minutes of trying to force ourselves to eat the burnt one, we decided she must have forgot our second one. So I went up to ask her about it. They hadn't even made it yet. We also ordered come cheese sticks, and guess what, they hadn't made them either. After our WONDERFUL day, we decided that were leaving. Our waitress stole a cheese stick order off of a to-go order and gave that to us, tried to charge us for a pizza that we didn't have, and that WASN'T EVEN MADE, and then charged us for the meal salads. Our wonderful Saturday night dinner cost like $30.00 for NOTHING. Oh, it was not good. We proceeded to head to Sonic to actually get something to eat. I really wish that I would have got our waitress's name and taken pictures of our pizza, I would have LOVED to have sent them to NPC. There were also 5 dirty tables that were making Doug crazy and we were the ONLY people in the dinning room. Thank goodness Sonic was good!

Sunday morning Nick tried to be sweet and cook me some breakfast because he got up before me, and as he was baking some cinnamon rolls the smoke detectors went off. This was because of last week's WONDERFUL cakes, and he didn't know about it. But it scared me to wake up to that and go in the kitchen and not find anyone (he had taken Sophie out to use the bathroom). But we had a good breakfast and then went to church and had a good lunch at his mom and dad's. After that we went and took the big tractor to get the flatbed "un-stuck" and it worked like a charm! Nick hauled some propane and then went fishing. It was MUCH needed after Saturday. I took a nap! We went into my mom and dad's for Jen's Birthday dinner. Mom helped me give Sophie a hair cut, and she looks SOOO NICE! So after a not so good day we had a good day, and we can only hope that the same is in store for today!!!
