I Really Should Be Sleeping
A laptop was a good idea when I had to bring it to work and to work on my computer when I wanted to watch TV. But now here I am past midnite sitting up in bed checking email, FB, and now blogging! Why in the world does Paris Hilton have a reality show to pick her new BFF?! WTF!!!
I really should be working, but this is what they call creative avoidance! I drank a cup of coffee a little too late so now I am wide awake. The boys have school tomorrow so I have to wake up early. I am still sore from Saturday. Oh yeah let me back track...
I finally had it with my backyard. It has cooled down here in the double V that I was actually able to be outside in the daylight. Damoomoo took AJ to a classmate's swim party and I used this opp to work in the backyard. I wacked the forest 'o weeds that has grown in what used to be our grass area and the so-called sand garden! And yes I mean FOREST. There was one area growing almost as tall as our fence. It was a sad sight! Before I started I had to suit up a bit more... got my gardening gloves, sunglasses, added a long sleeve shirt and was given shin guards since I still insisted on wearing shorts. Those pieces of weeds can really sting when they fling back towards you!
Needless to say, my arms are still sore. I was pretty much out of commission all of Saturday, but was treated to carne asada french fries! The funny part is that I refuse to actually have to hold the weed branches and throw them in our recycling bin so it's all sitting in bunches. If you ask me that particular bin smells like something died it in!
Well, my new goal is to forever now pay someone to do this kind of work AND to finally get that area landscaped. I think I just want to cement the "grass" area and do something with that "garden" corner. gotta start working for those MK love checks!!!
I am still not any closer to falling asleep. Now I am watching Making the Band 4! BTW, the Mad Men Season 1 DVD is a great way to sit and fold clothes. Did I mention that washed about 4 loads of laundry and folded about 8! Yes, we got into a routine where laundry was cleaned but never folded!! I even put ALL my clothes away---actually I took a step further and even ironed it, too!!! Goodness isn't this the nesting phase! I realized that I even had a home cooked meal waiting for the kids when they got home!
alrighy... i think it's time to take out my contacts, find a movie on "On Demand" and fall asleep.
