Yard Work Stinks and A Free Day Tomorrow

I just finished cleaning out my massive could care less if the whole thing turns black and dies flower bed aka week bed. I am hot, sweaty and stinky and I hate each and every thing that has anything whatsoever to do with yard work. I asked Jamey to dig the whole flower bed up when he had the bobcat rented but he wouldn't. I think he thought I was kidding but I really wasn't. I have it looking pretty good right now but it will be overgrown again in like two days which ticks me off. Last year the flower bed on the opposite side of the house got so overgrown with weeds I actually found blackberries growing over there! That is a very sad fact that I should be embarrassed to share but I'm not. The kids and I enjoyed picking and eating the blackberries beside the house! If it weren't for my kids being lovers of the great outdoors I would NEVER go outside!!!! I sweat like a man, I am fair skinned and I freckle I am an inside kind of girl and when I am outside I 100% prefer the shade!!!!!

Jamey's mom called this morning and said she wanted to spend time with the kids today or tomorrow. She called again and said that since her errands took longer than she thought today she said it would have to be tomorrow. That is fine with me because we had tons to do today any way. The kids will be more than ready to go over to grandma's tomorrow and I will be ready for a break after the crazy busy day we had today. Too bad I will probably spend my free time cleaning like always but if I can get Jamey out of the house I will be able to clean in peace which is somewhat therapeutic for me so all will be well. I really don't enjoy running around the house cleaning while he is sitting in the recliner with his feet up...it sucks all of my motivation out and down the drain....probably the way he feels when I sit outside sipping a cool drink while he cuts the grass....woops....never thought about it that way.

I ran across an old scrapbook today that I had totally forgotten I had started. It has these really great pictures of Jamey and I before we were even engaged all the way through our first year of marriage. I loved seeing those pictures again! We looked so young and my thighs did not have cellulite yet!!! (I had on a pair of really short shorts in one of the pictures.) I will probably never finish that scrapbook....I am a really bad scrapbooker! The stress of trying to pick the perfect pictures and design my layout takes all of the fun out of it for me. Arranging photos in albums also stresses me out. I'm a weirdo.

I better go hop in the shower before Jamey and the stinkers come in for their baths before dinner. We are all grubby from being outside all day...yard work, swimming, sand box play, grass cutting, weed eating, hedge trimming, weed bed cleaning outing, etc. I have to get moving to get clean and start dinner.

Have a wonderful night girls!!!!!
