Hammock Bliss

It is late Sunday afternoon, and I wish you could see us right now. I'm sure we make a funny picture. Abigail and I are snuggled in our hammock surrounded by pillows and covered by a blanket. Abigail missed both of her naps today, so she is cuddled up next me fighting to keep her eyes open. She desperately wants to help me type, but she barely has the energy to put her hand on top of mine. Samson is sunning himself in the woods nearby chomping on on a stick. I have to say that hammocks are one of my all time favorite inventions. Somehow a lazy hour in the hammock manages to calm and relax me.

The weekend has been sort of busy. I've been trying to fix the mess that my drywall guys made. I am not a professional, but I have to say that they did a crummy job around the fireplace. I came up with a plan to fix it, but it is a slow and tedious project, especially since I can really only work when Abigail is sleeping. I thought about calling the guys and having them come back and fix it, but they gave me such a hard time about every little thing...they basically said that it was the best they could do. I don't think I'm too picky, but it is just not good enough for me. The only good thing about this last drywall project is the money. The other day, I went to transfer money from my savings account to my checking account to pay for the drywall and to pay the hangers and finishers. When I checked my account balance, I couldn't figure out why there was so much money in my checking account. (Not a bad problem.) After I dug a little further, I discovered that my economic stimulus tax return bonus (or whatever they call it) had been deposited to my account. I didn't expect my money so soon. Hurray for getting unexpected money back from the government. In fact, it was just enough to cover all of my drywall and finish work. I didn't even need to dip into my savings account. Sometimes God's timing is amazing!

I actually have a lot more to say, but now Abigail is snoring. Her sweet snoring is making me sleepy too. I think I'll join her and take a little hammock nap too.
