Couple good days!
Yesterday, DS10 and I had piano lessons and visited a friend. I gave her a box of homeschool curriculum and she gave me a Siberian iris - my favorite! I sheared 3 sheep in the evening while DH held them for me. Busy, busy day, we didn't stop for supper until 10 p.m.!
I was proud of my sheep training/handling! I was able to walk into the ewe pasture, call them to me and put halter on 2 out of the 3 we tried. The third one is leery of being caught, but DH grabbed her (with less drama than I expected) and then she haltered up fine. There's one ewe left. She's a yearling that I haven't worked with much yet. She is eager to eat from my hand, so that's a start. There's also a yearling meat wether left to shear - he's wild! He can't be worse than the rams, right?
Today, DS10 threw another epic fit over a math assignment and I tried to carry on anyway. I went to the hardware store for wallpaper remover and paint for the guest room. We stopped for ice cream and went to a park to enjoy it.... well, DS2 and I did. DS10 continued his tantrum about math.
When we got home, I tried the wallpaper stripper. IT WORKED! I had the wallpaper border off and mess cleaned up in 2 hours!
DH and DS2 watched a movie while munching on sandwiches. While DS10 continued the math tantrum. Very rare that DH will watch a movie. Poor DH is so tired, I'm glad he rested.
After he went to bed, I started painting the guest room. I have 2 walls done! I'm prepared to feel poorly tomorrow. I can sit and practice piano extra if I'm dizzy. If I feel good I'm going to paint! I'm feeling optimistic that I can finish this guest room project by the end of the month! I hope to finish it before DH notices. He won't like the paint color.... but he won't dislike it enough to repaint it a different color himself!
His general opinion on my projects around the house is he doesn't care as long as I finish them promptly.
(DS10 finally finished the math lesson at bedtime.)
