A nice day outside constitutes to hours of chores!

Finally it’s nice outside during the week. I am home from work early, and I have a million of chores to start on, but since it’s such a gorgeous day outside, I figured I would start out there.

I get on my grungy clothes, and put up my hair, and off I go. I gather the rake, my trash bucket, some trash bags and I hit the ground running. Within the first ten minutes, I lone and behold get a blister on my thumb. It never seems to fail. I always get one of those dam things. As much as I wanted to stop and get a band aid, I just decided that I would keep going.

I raked all along the inside of the fence line in the back yard, pulled out some weeds in the garden, trimmed some bushes, and pulled out all the junk that was in the rocks along the house.

Finally, when that was done, I had to go back and pick up all the leaves I left all over the place. So, instead of me bending over, I came up with a bright Idea. Instead of bending at the knees for all this crap, I decided that I would take a shovel, and use it as a scooper, and took my rake to help keep it in one area. Simply then, I just dumped it right into the trash bucket. Who would have guessed that this technique would work like a charm? It saved me a lot of bending over, and my back thanked me the next day!

Struggling to get all this cleaned up before the hubby came home; I still had a mound of other chores to do in the house to. But I thought to myself, let me just get through this stuff first, and then if there’s still time, I will get to the rest.

Finally at 3:00 I decided to call it quits, and finished what I was working on, and went in the house and cleaned up. After my shower, it was decided that after I plopped into my chair, I was not going to get up and do more work. One major chore is good enough for me for the day.

In everyday, there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough, because you can’t get to everything you hope to do, there just isn’t enough time.
