A New Roof

Posted by Heather Manning On August - 25 - 2008

No, not on my apartment.  My dad decided it was a good time to put a new roof on the house.  And since my dad is a construction worker, we don’t need no stinking contractor!  LOL  I decided I was running away from home yesterday.  I was cranky and upset (more on that in a bit), the kids were on top of me, and Pato was home.  I said, I’m going to my mom’s.  No children allowed.

I took some pictures of my dad, his brother – my Uncle Joe, and my brother working.  My dad said, are these going to be on the internet tomorrow?  I said, why of course they are dad.  LOL  So, here they are.

One of my dad’s 4 brothers (10 other siblings in total), my Uncle Joe in blue, my dad in day glo yellow. 

My daddy

How do you walk on a roof like it’s nothing? 

Say cheese dad.

My baby brother Josh (whose not really a baby anymore LOL).  Not a great picture, but the only one that wasn’t completely blurry because he didn’t think he had time for a photo shoot.  LOL

I got out the little magnet on a stick and helped get some of the nails up.  Only because my mom wouldn’t let me climb up on the roof to take pictures while I’m pregnant.  ROFL  She’s really no fun.  Just kidding mom. 

Then I sat out there and vented for awhile.  About how life just sucks.  I was upset because I know that Pato’s uncle wants him up there to train for 3 months before he helps get the restaurant here.  I understand that.  But, yesterday Pato sprung it on me, I’m going to leave tonight.  No warning.  And I felt my insides just collapse.  All of a sudden those 3 months when he was in Mexico came right back up on me.  How stressed I was, how stressed out the kids were.  I just started bawling and had to get out.  The thought of doing that again while I’m pregnant?  UGH.  Everything has gotten back to normal, the kids are well behaved – or the kids are kids.  LOL  I don’t feel like I’m losing my mind.  All is good.  And he is leaving?  I know it’s for the best.  In the long run, it’ll help us.  But right now, it just sucks.  And I feel like being selfish and cranky for a bit.  And he must have understood, because he didn’t leave last night.  Now I’m wondering if he’s going today?  Or did I put to big of a guilt trip on him that he doesn’t feel like he can go?  In which case, I’ll have to apologize for the I feel like you’re deserting me when I’m pregnant remark.  That was horrible wasn’t it?  Can I chalk it up to hormones?  I was a crying mess.

I also went to mom’s on Saturday with the kids and was inspired to make some CU overlays.  I love how these came out.  If your looking for natural – or wood overlays, I’ve got some for you!

Make It Easy – Natural Overlays 2 – This is dirt, dry leaves, dry grass, and pine needles or boughs – what’s the proper term?

And the wood

Make It Easy – Wood Overlays 1

Make It Easy – Wood Overlays 2

And they are 30% off right now!  Woohoo!

That’s it from me!  Have a great day!

    Those are great pictures and girl your dad looks good for his age. lol Your brother looks like a hottie too. lol Take 2 more pics of him and I’ll put him on my next hotties blog entry lol.

    Sorry about dh going away (again). *hugs*

  3. Barb says:

    Oh big hugs, Heather. It’ll be all right!

  4. Heather, I feel for you. Pregnant and on your own with the kids for 3 months would make any woman cry. I used to feel the same way when my dh would have to go out of town for even one or two nights. Eventually I just got to where I felt like Wonder Woman, and that was a great milestone to reach in my life. Hope that happens for you, too.

    LOL! I too used a magnet on the string to pick up nails this weekend! We just have so much in common I tell you! :)

    I’m sorry that Pato is leaving again. I know what a burden it is for all of you and don’t forget….I keep my rope handy just in case you need me to go get him for you.

    Oh and ROFL at Sharia’s comment! :)

    Big hugs hon! I don’t think it’s the hormones, I think it’s the malemones. They always mess up everything. I hope that it’ll pass quickly and that you’ll be together soon. Great overlays btw!

    Take care of you girl!
