I'm married to a slave driver -day 46

It's really no wonder, lol. I've grown up with my mom & Grannie who are major slave drivers. :)  Grannie says there are  no free meals! Lol

But I helped John paint the shed (aka pool house) all afternoon. Although I did get the easy job of painting in the shade, I got a blister. Boo. Before all the "boo hoo poor baby" comments, it really sucks for me to have any breaks in skin on my hands at work. You know that NICU nurses wash their hands like a million times a day, right? And that doesn't count the 2 million times we use the alcohol foam instead. Oh bother! 

Of course I didn't get much of a reaction out of him either. :P

And darn it all, that stupid peripheral neuropathy reared it's ugly head again. Here I am, up on a thirty foot ladder (hey, it feels that way) and my foot starts with the pins & needles. I am already a nervous wreck on tall ladders, having a dead foot really didn't help matters. 
Then my thumb on my left hand went dead too. Holy hell! I am just falling apart! Might as well just put me out to pasture. 

All joking aside, I did a great job painting (if I do say so myself) and I kept on going thru all that. Of course I tried to do all the low stuff instead of being on the (10 ft) ladder. When it was all said & done I had a dead hand & foot, although the foot was starting the lovely process of coming back to life... Oh yes and a blister. But we got a lot of painting done! Yay! :)

Maddie & her cousin had a great day of in & out swimming all day long :) 

And then we all went swimming, until I finally had to get out cuz it was FREEZING! I guess technically it wasn't, but all the rain did lower the temp back down to the nowayinhell level. I tried. But I am a wuss. So I watched them all swim while I sat in the sun & warmed up. 
Now that's a beautiful day! 

That's about my day wrapped up. Of course I did play candy crush a few times today too. No way could I skip that for a day. :) And I'm currently trying to beat my BFF in words with friends. Man Alive! How do I find the time? :) 

Hope everyone gets some good rest for a great Fathers Day tomorrow. :)
