Home Depot

I need to get a job at home depot so that I can afford to exist in this world. I think we have spent half of Bridget's yearly earnings there this past week. It got worse today when I spent $250 more dollars on more paint, landscaping bricks, and sprinkler stuff. Those of you that have been to our house know that we have a GINORMOUS back yard. Since our house is on a corner lot, it is especially huge. Anyway, last summer I tried various watering strategies for the backyard...each was a pain in the neck. I tried a lawn tractor, which kept hopping off of the hose and going all over the yard. Finally I found a system that worked, but required me to go out every night and move sprinklers around several times to cover the whole yard (dramatically impacted our movie watching at night!). So today I bought a watering system that works a lot like a sprinkler system. It has 4 outlets that create 4 "zones" that can be programed to run at any time of the day and at whatever time. So I have it all planned out so that I can get the entire yard watered in the 4 zones, I should be set and our yard will get water when we are away on trips!
