AARRGGHHH!!!

So this weekend I had a crafts fair. I got up at 4 am Saturday to load up my car and head out. Logan had to come with me because Joseph was working. So, I met my friend Carrie around 5:30 and we set out. Get there and things are looking great. It is a large place, there are lots of people setting up to sell. So, we are thinking that we will make loads of money.

I should have known there was something wrong when I backed into a tree. Yeah, a big freakin tree. In my defense, it was still dark outside and I didnt know it was there. Luckily, it didnt do anything to my bumper, so, unless Joseph reads this he will never know.

Then, we get to our spot and we are setting up. Our legs start burning, we look down and there are ants everywhere! I am allergic to ants and I start swelling up. Lucky me I had no benedryl so I had to go off to find some. Found it, $7 for a freakin bottle. But had to have it.

Upside, Joseph got off of work around 8 so he came and picked up Logan. Although all day he was calling me telling me to come home because he didnt want to watch Logan. BabY!!!!!

Well, we got our first sale around 11. It was a very slow day. I did make a little bit of money, but so not worth the pain. We were supposed to stay til dark, but we left early and decided to take our chances at the casino. Again, something Joseph doesnt know unless he reads this! lol!

Carrie did really good. I came out even, which was fine with me. I actually would have been ahead, because I hit and won about 400 credits (of course we were playing the nickel machines so that was like $20). However I kept playing! Very addicting. I got a free drink though. Which I needed after yesterday.

So, today, I went to do the fair again. We already paid for our spot so we didnt want to waste the day. It starts pouring down rain. So we are in the pouring rain trying to get everything put up. By the time we were done we were soaked from head to toe to underpanties. Not the greatest thing to spend our time doing.

I am so exhausted, back is killing me, and I could really use a drink!
