Indeed!
I feel your pain - had a big list of things I was going to do just as soon as I got my shower........got my shower, turned off the water and, "What's that I hear?" - rain, pouring down outside.....was just a brief burst, but doesn't bode well for the rest of the day.
My poor husband cannot wait to again have a work area that he can use for all his projects -- we have a covered back porch, but it isn't always sufficient, especially when the wind blows the rain up onto it from the sides. I have a feeling that even if *we* don't have a shop/garage at our next home he'll be spending more than enough time at his folks' place so he can work out in that garage with his dad.
Glad you got some sleep, those ewes can be real buggars about dragging things out as long as possible so that you are on (or possibly just over) the brink of losing your mind before they release their little hostages.
I have said many times, in total seriousness, that I am surprised my mother even speaks to me, let alone actually LIKES me after the teen ager I was. We had some things happen around the time of my teen years and I became a very angry person and my mom was an easy target of a lot of that anger......
I heard something around the time my daughter was born that makes total sense now -- God makes babies tiny and cute so that you will love them and care for them through the exhaustion and frustration ----- then he turns them into teenagers so you will let them go.
I carry a lot of regret about things that were said and done between my mom and I around the time I was 13-17.........
