Chores

The boys are gone for the week. I got up and jogged/walked with a friend then came home and mowed the lawn. Every three or four days it must be mowed. I gave it some weed and feed so it has been very happily growing. With the push mower you really have to stay on top of it. The sun was out for a brief time and I wanted to take advantage of the dry spell.

Once the lawn was mowed and the border grass and weeds pulled, I felt I could go tackle the inside. For once I will get my chores done and they will stay done. I wont come back to the kitchen to find spilled hot cocoa on the counters just minutes after wiping them down. I vacuumed the whole house. My girlfriend who had loaned me her dog for the week came by to retrieve him. Bucky was so sad to see him go. I just feel like I can get some control over the house now without the boys underfoot. I wish I had more time.

I have booked myself up with things to do also. So I really have to squeeze every once out of the days. I am going to transfer photos to my new computer tomorrow. I am also going to see a friend who is in town visiting. Some how I have to continue sorting and organizing. I would also like to finish the floors. But there just isn't enough time for that this week. I might fix some unfinished projects that I already have started though. that would be good.
