Dad drove into town yesterday. His car was loaded with home grown tomatoes. Well, it wasn’t exactly loaded but it was enough to keep Becky and I busy all day today. I still haven’t sealed the 18 quart of tomato juice and 6 or 8 pints of salsa we prepared. They’re in the fridge hoping I’ll have time for them tomorrow. I will of course…I have to.

Aron was ferociously crabby today. I could have pointed to several days on the calendar that would have suited me better for his outburst but today it came and today it was dealt with. I had to deal with it more harshly than I like but it finally ceased. For the most part. I don’t even know if I dealt with it as harshly as I should have. Swift and serious was not something I was prepared for and it seemed as if he grew more angry and loud the longer I waited to act. I grew more confused as the volume grew more intense. Argh. He’s asleep now…all malice is erased.

The really big news is that we put an offer on a house today. It’s the same one I mentioned before in Mt. Juliet and we feel very good about it. I’m anxious to hear their response to our offer and I’m sure that all negotiations will be quick and painless. We celebrated at Red Lobster…which wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, but still good and made even better by the fact that Grandpa stayed with the boys while we were wheelin’ and dealin’.

So…life is speeding along and I’m really enjoying the way the speed feels on my face. I just have to remember to hang on tight and take it all in as fast as I can.
