Well, to get started, it was not raining this morning and has not been raining yet (9:00am). So we are trying to get some work done on estimates, irrigation repairs, etc. Thus far, the funniest thing has been Lucie waking up (I heard her walking around, so I called for her) and coming in my office and asking "Momma can you teach me to play hockey?" She gets some crazy ideas in her head. After I told her I did not really know much about hockey, SHE explained to ME that we would need to go to the store and buy ICE SKATES. Oh my......


7:15pm
MacKenzie started her first day of college. She came by this afternoon and we went around to a couple of consignment shops. Fun was had by all. Lucie slept in the truck and MacKenzie and I took turns going in.

Jarred finally got his hair cut. It looks very nice. Less lumberjack and more landscaper now. He ACED the meeting with the big wig (who I forgot to mention has a brother who is a nationally known Louisiana political commentator, James Carville). By the time, he called me to go over the meeting, I already had a bid alert from the estimator on a HUGE job for the LSU Rural Life Museum. The great part is that we are already bidding the job through two other contractors and it is an invitation only bid list, so only 6 total GCs to bid on it. I look at it like we have a 50% chance of getting it. That alone makes it a great day.

As for a pregnancy update, my hospital midwife called me today and I am Group B strep negative. YEAH, did not really matter as I would not have taken the IV antibiotics unless I had risk factors, but just nice to not have to worry about it. I guess the combo herbal therapy of Grapefruit Seed extract, echinacea, Vit C, Garlic, and Kefir probiotic milk worked (maybe-I tested negative with Lu without doing anything). Emmy is coming by the house tomorrow. I cannot wait to tell her the good news. My ankles are getting gross swollen again, not as bad as when I was just back from Indiana, but not great. It is that dimpling swelling again. Jarred will have to work on them tonight.

Lucie is hollering for me, so I better go.......

OBTW: she is determined for me to take her to "snow" where it is cold. We had several conversations about this today.
