This past week has been amazingly over-whelming.
Non-stop at work, meeting after meetings, deadlines that compound the stress load, plus everyday life at home.
Since we are paid per day, the economy drove our college to cutting our days, therefore in July I went from 235 days to 210 days.
The three day weekend is nice…I have lots more time to get home things done, but the four days at work …. Well I really need an eight-day week.
Anyone know how I can create one?
But back to the silver lining… our oldest daughter is a
Cosmetologist (Hair Dresser) and works in Grand Junction. We don’t get to see her very much.
So in turn for Terry a hair cut we fed her supper. A win-win all the way around.
Life on a Colorado Farm 
There always seems to be something to fill up any “extra” time we are given. Good you could do a little bartering of skills with your daughter ;). Any time you can get those wandering kids to visit it is a good thing. I put together a little post about our Maine Coon cat in case you’re interested. Have a good weekend.

Yes, I do, but it involves giving up sleeping….. only sustainable for short bursts.
Nice to have a hair stylist in the family. :o)

Can’t beat a deal like that 🙂 Great silver lining!
As for you work schedule, it sounds awful – and knowing how diligent you are, they are getting more than their money’s worth!!

Great positive attitude there considering that you have lost hours. So you have a job as well as running a farm. That must be difficult. That’s a bargain..supper for a haircut.

So nice that you can trade off. I give JR his hair cuts and have for years. It is one of those saving money things.

The bartering system is so much more satisfying! Money is just not as important as many people might think as far as I am concerned!

Great that your daughter got to visit. Sorry about your work. I remember in the 70’s slowdown that I got laid off and my husband got a “day off” every other week. I enjoyed my time at home too.

I always loved the song “I need a wife” but cannot remember who sang this. I think that aptly describes 98% of us working women!

I hope all is okay and you are taking care of yourself. I haven’t gotten a hair cut in about 6 months so I would love to have your daughter visit.
