I Am Plain 'Wore Out!'...And I'm Not Alone.

    I'm more than a 'WEE' bit tired this morning. And after looking at the backyard, I can see that I'm not alone! The sunflowers are trying to hold on a little while longer...Well, some of them are. (Hubby, and his eyes, were pretty tired this morning too, so forgive the un-focused camera work.)

    Now, the above ones are the ones that I consider "tired". The ones below are, just like me, just plain "wore out!"

    Poor things!...It seems like everything around here is 'wore out'! Our washing machine, all of a sudden, decided that it doesn't want to keep swishing and swashing throughout the whole wash cycle. So it stops about half way...and doesn't move until you stick your hand into the machine and turn the agitator to a particular point! UGH! Who has time for this....every load?!!
    We had the repairman come by to fix it and he says we need a new timer. "Great! How much?!"..."Only $240.00! You want me to install one?!"...."NO!!!!!!"...."Well, there's this great store where you can buy a washer called...You can get a used washer for about $150.00!"..."Thanks for telling us about that."...."No problem. That'll be $60.00 for the visit."...UGH! The washing machine is still wore out, and now I'm more worn out from that encounter!!!
  The dishwasher isn't much better! Look at what it's doing to my forks!

    I mean....SERIOUSLY?!

     Every one that comes out of there lately looks like it's been in some weird rotater battle, fighting all night for it's life!!!

    Do I want to call another repairman?...NO!!!!! Hubby and I will just have to learn how to eat sideways, or R-e-a-l-l-y slowly, so we don't start a puncture wound. UGH! and....*sigh*. I've got worn out flowers, worn out forks, hubby's worn out socks, (I'm not taking a picture of them!! I refuse!!! :-))...And trust me!...you don't want to see them!!)...AND his worn out BRAND NEW shoes!!! Yep! You heard me right! The shoes he just bought, that I blogged about last month,

     ...now have one toe part underneath that looks like this!...

     But that's not bad. Look at the sole on the other one!!!

    Completely, unequivocally, and..."stick a fork in me. I'm done!....WORN OUT!!!! UGH! I guess this goes to prove, without a doubt, that the statement: "You get what you pay for" is surprisingly TRUE!!!
   The only good thing is that he hasn't worn the other pair yet. He loved these so much that he just walked and climbed them into the ground!!! In fact, HE SAYS he didn't even realize this hole was in them until he accidentally turned them over! Seriously?!!!! How could that be?!! UGH!...
   Now I'm worn out from talking about it. Now, you know if I get tired of talking......I am truly WORN OUT!!

 Tired


Sapped, low,
weary, slow.

Dragging about,
plum tuckered out.

Fatigued, spent,
No power surge sent.

Depleted, drained,
almost empty-brained.

Pooped, sucked dry,
out of gas, can't try.

Exhausted, fried,
 done in, mopey-eyed.

Tired? There's no doubt!
'Cause I'm all petered out.
