I really enjoy reading other people's blogs. It reinforces to me how much more exciting their lives are than mine. LOL. While they are traveling to interesting locales I'm usually working in the garden. Mind you I'm not complaining. It's a trade off I'm willing to make. Living in the country and being into self sufficiency means a major commitment of time. Sweat equity. I made this choice years ago. I chose to follow my husband's dream instead of my own and I have been rewarded every day for it. I'm one of the most blessed people you will ever meet.

You know it's funny how we look at other people's lives and think they have all the excitement. You don't have a 3 hour commute- I know you had a hectic career before you made this choice- and that is NOT exciting. But remember how excited I am to be growing the 2 tomato plants on my deck? New exciting experience for me while you, my dear get to bathe in cherries- my dream. So, it's just a different life. It would be great if we could just get a slice of everything- just like food.

I had a killer day. I hate Mondays. They seem to always include tons of work and very little rest. I got a lot done today but I still have a lot left over to do tomorrow.
The 6 pet cages are clean. It takes several hours to do them.
The vaccuming is done.
3 loads of laundy were washed but 2 are not folded or hung.
3 meals were made.
The dishwasher was loaded and unloaded.
The bathroom was cleaned.
2 sick chinchillas were syringe fed 3 times.
I'm ready for bed. LOL.

I can't stand Mondays either. Here at the office, it is payroll day so we have to be on our toes to deal with issues when they crop up and there is always stuff sitting there from the weekend that has to be gone through. Tuesdays are just about as bad because that is typically a big meeting day (both at work and church). By Wed, I'm just wiped. Hope your Tues is better. ttyl Report Inappropriate Comment |

Oh the stories they could TELL ... they're 
. Maybe they should be bronzed and used as doorstops.
