Work.
All weekend.
I am one Tired lady.
First of all, I win.
I win for sure.
Yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart and spent 295.00 big ones.
The fact that I spent nearly $300 at Wal-Mart in one sitting is not the winning note.
The fact that only 2, count them, 2 items in my cart(s), yes, carts, were greater than $5.
A bag of chicken breasts and laundry soap.
Other than that it was canned goods, dry goods, frozen doo-dads, fresh food, milk, eggs, butter...
Usually, when I spend THAT much money anywhere there is at least ONE big ticket item in there...
So yesterday, I worked like a crazy woman loading groceries into a cart, out of a cart, paid for them, put them back in, out into my van, out of the van and into my house, and neatly organized into my pantry and fridge... WHEW! I hate grocery shopping.
I used to think I was a hero just for taking two kids to the grocery store, now I am elated if I don't forget the Q-tips!
Yesterday, I also mowed our front and back lawns. They were way overgrown because or garage door was broken for two weeks. Mower stuck in garage+Garage door stuck in downward position= Lots of mowin to do...
After dinner yesterday, the kids and I went out to my parent's house to look at Jupiter and a comet that was due to pass through orbit on my brother's mega-telescope. That was really neat!
Today, when we got home from our sleepover at my parent's house, it was back to work.
I went to Home Depot and got some paint for our front door. While our garage door was broken, we had to come in and out through the front door. I decided that as much as I like red doors, THAT color red was not the best and I was tired of looking at it.
I painted our front door.
Then I steamed our carpet.
I fed the kids dinner, bathed them, read to them, and got them to bed.
Then I polyurethaned our bathroom cabinets, the kids bathroom cabinets, the hallway woodwork, and some of the kitchen before I ran out of it... It really looks better!!
Very much worth the effort, I'll say!
After that, I still thought I had some steam left in me, I decided to finish the kitchen and dining room paint.
I got a lot further.
But my jelly legs and tired fingers kept me from finishing the job...
So if you are wondering what I have been doing instead of blogging, now you are caught up!

your door looks gorgeous. wow you are a very talented lady with a ton of energy. wow! i got tired just reading your blog.
what an amazing lady you are.
Is that all?
Know what I've done since then? Played on the computer, then played some more, 2 loads of laundry, then more computer. Lactaided a few times, then more computer time. You definitely won.
And all I get when I ask what you're doing is, "just putting a trash bag in the trash can". Talk about holding out on someone.....
I see a red door and I want to paint it bla-ack.
no color any more, my whole world is bla-ack...
I want to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it bla-ack!!!
Wow! You've been busy! Sometimes I get in paint mode for a few days, but I can only do it when the baby is asleep so it takes me 3-4 nights to get a room done. So far, in the past year, I've painted: a 9x9 laundry room, 3 bedrooms, a small bathroom, school room, a large living room and 2 pieces of furniture. I still have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a few closets to do. The bedroom is next.
WOW!!! Did you do this all in one day!!! And if so what time did you go to bed??? You are amazing....I love the color of the door.
I love your door!!!
The worst thing about grocery shopping is putting away all the groceries. Same thing with laundry...do you see a pattern here???
Wow! Give me just a tad of your energy! What do you take you make you GO like that? Tell me quick!
Beautiful door.
what the heck are you? superwoman?
i think i'm gonna quit blogging when i have kids.
and this, my friend, is where our similarities end. unless, of course, this is a rare type day for you. i will say that on a random ocassion i will become incredibly motivated and do everything i should have been doing every day for a month all in one night. it's pretty exhilarating. but rather ridiculous. so..unless you did all of this in one day and won't do any of it again until, oh, november, then you beat me for real.
(very impressive.)
(i heard you love dave. i'm about to not be able to handle this...)
i, for one, am glad you always have this much energy.
seeing as how we'll be living in close proximity to each other very soon, i'm going to need help getting our house together and painting a baby room and stuff.
also, i'll be having a baby in the middle of tax season with a 2 year old and practically no husband.
your number will be on my speed dial!
I agree with all you are definetly superwoman and yes it did make me tired reading this one.
