Have you ever just felt like you were running on auto-pilot? Thats me today. I feel like complete and utter crap. I have never had more colds and flus than I have had this year. Darn toddlers, spreading germs like wildfire. I have been dealing with a house full of sick people...okay just two but it feels like 200 when you are the only one to wait on the sickos hand and foot. I was bound to get sick being cooped up with a quarantined husband and toddler. I love them still though, booger- snot noses and all.
I am determined to break this though cause my plan is to do some painting this weekend. I can open the windows and get some fresh air and avoid some of the fumes also. My hallway and family room have to be finished. I have become my father with a bunch of half finished projects all around the house. I told myself I would never do that. I have an open wall where my shower should be but it has been torn out since last summer. We have the stuff just havent put it in yet. I have to do the trim in the hallway. I have odds and ends items for my kitchen but no moving on that yet. We have a bunch of rooms where we said we were going to paint the walls and the ceilings but only got around to the walls so you can see our "oops" wall paint marks on the unpainted ceilings. Oh and then the room that has only 2 year old paint on it I am repainting. Priorities are just a tad bit off.
I have come to the conclusion that I am getting old. Reason being is that I have a new found interest in gardening. I have always said how much I hated landscaping and gardening and if I was rich it would be the first thing that I would pay someone to do. I always said it was for older people. Guess what? I am now that older person. I want to start small though with getting the weeds out that are as tall as trees and trimming the backyard grass so that it doesnt look like the wild (sorry Jakey dog, squirrel hunting season has just gotten a tad bit more complex). My biggest feat to this day though is I want a small but flourishing vegetable garden. Whether this comes out of my love of vegetables, or my innate cheapness I am incredibly interested in it. So any "green thumbs" out there who may be able to guide me on how to begin it would be appreciated. I want to start out little. Maybe a few tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, green onions or whatever. I just want to do something.
That is all my brain can manage for now. I ache everywhere, it is hot in here and no one will let me turn on the fan, and my nose is going to start running down my face. Woe is me...
