We had a 1/2 cord of this delivered today. When the nice young man dumped it on my driveway, I thought "That doesn't look like 1/2 a cord" but started to stack some in the garage. Once I had a nice little pile to dry out in the garage, I got out our trusty wagon (we keep this wagon for wood hauling purposes only, though sometimes Youngest likes to careen down the driveway in it. With helmet on, thank goodness) and started the arduous task of loading the wagon, taking the wood out back, and stacking it on the deck.
48 minutes later, drenched in sweat with legs that ached, I changed my thoughts to "This indeed was a 1/2 cord of wood!" and counted it as my workout for the day. It is all neatly stacked (well, not as neat as that picture) and ready to be burned. Which made me just think: why bother to make it look all nice when we are just going to burn it???? Maybe next year I will leave it in a heap on the deck.
Last night, my group of gal pals went to our friend's house for some Mexican food (home made) and some
We had a wonderful time as we always do and after the week I had with Youngest, I was glad to hear that I am not alone with parenting issues. I don't like that anyone else has to go thru what I go thru, but it is really a relief to know I am not alone in the crap. And maybe one of us will find something that works and we can fix our kids once and for all! So just a shout out to Mighty Mouth (she dubbed herself this over a decade ago!), Pageant Patty (it was that or Eight Ball Betty), Blondie (though I know you are secretly afraid of the internet, so you won't actually see this) and Doc: You are a wonderful group of women and I am thankful to have you. And your yummy food...and drinks...
For my Weight Warriors: Clearly I enjoyed some drinks and really, really good Mexican food last night! I got a great walk in Sunday with Husband and the wood stacking today has my legs screaming at me. Feb is only two days away so let's hunker down and get this done. I want us all to hit our goals by the end of the month!! I know a lot of you forget what your password is on here, so you can send me your updates to my FB page.
Let's have a great week everyone!!
Adios,
Cat
