The Leaves Are Brown and We Have a Fungus… (The Season No Turf Wife Talks About)

I wasn’t going to write about this season of our life…

But then it hit me.

I have to.

Because somewhere, there’s another turf wife going through this—and maybe this is exactly what she needs to get out of bed today.

Or maybe writing this is what gets *me* out of bed today.

Truth is… we are in a really tough place mentally and physically.

Life feels like a whirlwind of panic (well… I’m in a panic—my grass grower, not so much 😆) and complete limbo.

If you’ve been through this, you already know…

This industry is all about “hurry up and wait.”

There are so many moving parts in the hiring process, and it never moves fast enough when you’re the one waiting.

Deep down, I know my grass grower is talented.

I know it’s just a matter of time before things turn around.

But in the meantime?

The “famine” stage can drive anyone absolutely insane.

I was watching a movie the other day… okay, fine—a mafia movie 😂

And I caught myself thinking… this feels a little too familiar.

(No, not the crime part 😆)

But the *family* part.

When someone is down, the way people show up—the support, the kindness, the community—it’s overwhelming.

And for that… we are incredibly grateful 💜

One thing I’ve noticed most through all of this is the shift in my grass grower.

Mentally.

Emotionally.

The realization that it doesn’t matter where… he just wants to grow grass.

I worried about him at first.

But like he always does, he’s put on his big boy cargo shorts ( grass grower fashion) and handled it like a boss.

Maybe he has to…

Because his wife is over here spiraling in the negative-Nelly zone 😆

The good news?

This is just a season.

(A pretty *shitastic* one… but still a season.)

And seasons change.

The wind shifts.

And your entire life can turn around in a moment.

Or in our world…

A growing season.

If you’re in this season right now…

I see you.

And you’re going to get through it!

Connie and Mildred Used To Be Brown

I'm sure you are looking for an update..truth is,OMG where do I even begin? I feel like I'm talking to my priest,Hello strangers,it's been 7 years since my last confession.

I can't say we are all butterflies and glitter BUT we are blessed that's for sure. God,the universe,whoever, has a big fat turf sense of humor! I've always said if we can't go big,we have to go home,but that's the thing ,we don't have a home as of rightnow.

When I tell you fast,I mean the phone rang on a Monday,we moved that Saturday. Our life is in storage rightnow and we're kids again staying with family,until we find somewhere to live.(If you're,reading this and are local to us ,FIND US A HOUSE😂) We kinda hit the jackpot here folks. Amazing gig,and family locally! Makes my heart happy !!

So let me back track here,I know my last few entries have been kinda cryptic,but our last adventure prohibited even breathing trade secrets. (I guess my ramblings have clout? HA!)But whatever,not even worth losing sleep or mind power over that chapter.

So flash forward to present time,did you feel the vortex sucking you in? Yes,that has been the whirl wind for the last 6 weeks.My grass grower doesn't do anything half arse. He can never just walk in and grow grass,EVER!!!So much so,that he now has two mistresses. Yes 2! I've named them Connie and Mildred.

They are both sweet souls,but they have gone through the ringer and back again 5 times.They both require extra TLC,See I told you the universe has a sense of humor.Maybe I was a criminal in a past life and this is my pay back. Kidding ..BUT they appreciate everything and are responding to my grass grower's mojo,and(excuse me while I shout)THE MEMBERSHIP IS AMAZING. Like the people dreams are made of,and we all know that makes growing grass so much better!

Everything about this new adventure is mind blowing! The company my grass grower now works for,in my opinion is one of the best ever! The support,the praise,the sense of urgency. We are so fortunate to be apart of! Thank you BCGM (shameless plug😜)

I feel like I'm rambling, but good Lord,I just can't rangle how in the world I'm supposed to center myself and update. I'm really trying to condense the last 6 weeks,but holy duck!! It's almost impossible!

What I can focus on is this, embracing GEORGIA,Mildred and Connie. They need my grass grower way more than I do rightnow. I'm fine with sharing for now.....😜💜

P.s. I love to hear from my readers! Feel free to drop a comment or just say hi. 💜
