LIfe alone on a ranch

or other wise known as when your dumb husband makes dumb mistakes and then you are left to deal with them alone!
grrrrrrrrr
can you tell I am a bit frustrated. And I know you will laugh....but it is all because of a hose........yes....a stupid dumb garden hose.
But there are other things. This is just one thing I am dealing with right now......

So we water our garden like any other do-gooder gardeners out there. Well the hose we have been using (actually 2 100 footers), the one had a leak, so my brilliant husband just duct taped it. Good work!!!! It lasted all of 2 days! Woohoo.........................

Well finally our garden is so big we need more water pressure to get up and over the plants. So he FINALLY says we can buy a new hose. YES! HAPPY DAY!

So I am like lets get this good quality, I think medium grade, but heavy duty, garden hose. 100 foot. Like 16 bucks. BRENT thinks its a better idea to get the low grade light duty garden hose for 8.99 but its 75 feet. He is like YES! What a deal. We can get 2 75 footers for like the same price.

Yes my love.....BUT LOOK AT THE QUALITY!!!!! trust me..I know how to shop and I KNOW QUALITY beats everything. Honestly and truly.

Well of course he wins. I just roll my eyes and carry on in Menards like the good dutiful wife that I am.

Well fast forward a week now.......Here I am switching out my hoses. WELL Einstein decided to hook up the hose to the garden tractor waterer system thing.........but guess what......when he left he NEVER UNHOOKED IT!!! So here I am, it is fucking 90 degrees out here, and I am dresses semi decent because I had to go into town today, and I am trying to UNDO the hose from the tractor. NOT budging. Guess what it decides to do instead.....yep cut up my hand. Awesome. Because the quality is so low, the part where is screws into other stuff is not even shaped decent and it doesnt move off of stuff!!!!! The hose just bends!!!!!

So I am like fuck it. I take the other 75 foot garden hose, hook up that to the water source and then try to hook it up to our sprinkler.....oh wait.....IT DOESNT REACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See there is a reason why I had 1 100 footers in the FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!! I need at LEAST 200 feet. So I am like whatever, I hook the sprinkler to the cheap hose, then after screaming at the hose for a while finally get it unhooked and then just attached the old duct taped hose to the cheap hose. Make sense?!?! I had three hoses now hooked up.

Great idea???? no.......because now I am down to ZERO water pressure. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


well so what I ended up doing is taking off the new hose, after again giving me blisters and cutting my hand up pretty good, and just attaching the duct tape hose again to the sprinkler.....so I literally am back to square one. sigh.

Oh life on the ranch......
