Gettin’ ‘er done
I just stained my upstairs deck…by. my. self. All 3,298,.02 tiny deck rails, and 1,094 steps. Yesterday I mowed the front of our acre size (and very uneven and slopey) lot with a push mower.  The day before I cleaned all the sidewalks, the front deck, the brick on the house, and the driveway with a pressure washer, and weeded flower beds.
Tomorrow, I burn yard debris, turn compost, mow backyard.
So much still left to be done. Sigh.
That half a bottle of wine is so mine tonight.Â

wowzer! I love all the pics and post about your weekend. I did soccer, ballet pics, and school carnival. I’d almost forgotten about the Spring cleanin’ - but you’ve reminded me to have a glass of wine.

Woo hoo! You’re inspiring, girl! I can’t even get my inside good and spring cleaned, let alone the outside! And it’s so Tom’s territory!
And no, we don’t hate you! I’m the same way but I get around it by watching it again - ALONE - the next day.

Sounds like your a good candidate for helping me get my clean laundry off my dining room table. It’s been there for so long it is starting to collect dust.

Guys, I never said anything about the *inside* of my house. It’s a sad sight right now. Like, health department might shut us down, sad.
Denise, the mounting piles of laundry have mixed with “questionable” laundry. If it smells wearable, and/or the food chunks scrape off easily then it’s golden. If not, good luck riffling through the seasonal clothes in storage under the stairs. We’ve gone lord of the flies here man. I want to kiss whoever invented wrinkle free dress shirts square on the lips right about now.

Wow~
I woke up early, read this post, and now I think I’m too tired to go putty and clean about seven new stained glass windows.
No, scratch that…I think I am inspired by you. Yay for girls and “hard labor”!

Was Aaron hanging out smoking Winstons while you were doing all this?
