You wouldn’t believe the difference

Last night I noticed that there was still daylight out at 5:30pm.

My heart lifted and my soul sang.

I noticed that it’s not been bone-chillingly cold the last week or so.

Telling the boys “get OUTSIDE” is becoming less of a chore now that they actually go AND STAY out.

I have a good schedule at school this time around. We’re still having some babysitting issues, but working around them is becoming easier and easier. I didn’t realize what a difference having this schedule would make on my state of mind.

It no longer feels like I’m drowning in housework and kids and homework and yardwork and..and…and…and.

Care to leave a comment?

this is the empty gas can.

Since the entire POINT of today’s exercise was to avoid going to the store I can only come to one conclusion:

I’m *not* doing yardwork today.
