Busy Days

Seems like I have no time anymore.  School always get so tough around the last 6 weeks of the semester and this year I am struggling.  Now that the house is ours, we have so much to do to it and keep it up and going. I felt fairly productive today.  I finally went grocery shopping for the first time in a month.  We switched out the beer fridge that came with the house with our real one that was in the garage.  I delved into the front flower bed that is a horrible mess of creeping Myrtle and River Rock.  That will take a little time to clear out and an ad on Craigslist to get rid of the rock, then I can landscape out there finally.  We cut out the rose bushes also.  I hated those blasted things and the aphids they brought each spring.  The chicksters went out to play for a little while and you could tell they loved it.  I cleaned up the poo from the side yard, Brent cut down a couple small trees, the kids rode their bikes.  All in all it was a good day.

Tomorrow will be just as busy.  I will have to somehow find time to do laundry, do homework, clean out the chick brooder, finish taking down a partial wire fence in the yard, the grass needs mowed and trimmed, the house picked up and the kids requested I make Tamales for dinner.  The meat is slow cookin now but the Masa for the tamales take a while to make as well and I have to make salsa.  I love my salsa, and I love tamales.  I like being busy though.  It keeps my mind busy and I feel so much better at the end of the day when I have accomplished something.  I'm so thankful the weather wasnt as wet and almost snowy as was predicted, but instead the sun shone and the wind blew, and I was able to go outside and that is what matters.
