Fire Me Please I Quit

. . . my kitchen overflows . . . with the rendered lard spilled over the counter . . . the pots piled high from grape jelly, split pea soup and tomato sauce (yet again) . . . the last of the concords are rotting in a box, the elderberries are drying in the branches (poisonous i know) . . . this morning our new furnace sprung a leak spewing water everwhere . . . a HUGE packrat got in through the basement when we installed the furnace and is making himself at home in my pantry, he has commandeered my large crock i was going to use today for sauerkraut (more dishes) . . . the cats and dog play cat and mouse all night upturning my drying herbs, peppers and garden seed for next year . . . 36 litres of wine to be bottled (more dishes) . . . i haven't been off the farm in over a month . . . i forgot to gather eggs today and lock up my chickens . . . looking back over this post i see things are about normal . . . so it is off to bed with me to start again tomorrow . . . peace all

    I was going through your list and thinking that sounds like a pretty routine day.....
    Hope you get caught up (don't we all!)...

    Just get through this and you can coast all winter! Remember 'sit on my arse and bead'
    You'll get there-one sink full of dishes at a time!

    Hang in there, we are going through the same thing. I was complaining to my wife the other day about us never being able to get caught up and she asked me if I would have it any other way? My response was that no I would not.
