Today's "to-do" list

[Marianne]

Just how many clones do you have, Pat?

I got tired just reading about all that work! I got my mental list done today, pulled weeds and mulched for a couple of hours, showered and headed into town to do errands and get groceries. I think the only way I can save money at the grocery store is not eat. I guess it's been a while since I bought meat!

I gave some vanilla beans to the gal at the dentist office. She gave me a boatload of plant starts a year ago, whatta sweetie!

Tomorrow it's back outside for at least an hour and I will quit procrastinating and work on mudding the upstairs bathroom.

Well, best laid plans....
We got a load of wood chips, had to wait, wait. Got them raked out of the pickup, went back for another load and they didn't have any more to run through the chipper. Came home and ate some lunch and cooled off. Neighbor came over, so we gabbed a while, I got to feeling droopy so I took a nap!
Hopefully I'll finish the list tomorrow.

1. Clean out both litter boxes, fill w/fresh litter. Done

2. Work on cleaning out truck. Got the front seat done

3. 4 H meeting. We'll be doing a lake study, looking for aquatic insects, or their larvae. No kids showed up.

4. Work on garden. Did some, not as much as I had hoped to get done.

5. Smooth out floor of pool and fill more. Can't do it by myself, hubby says if he's up to it, he'll help me tomorrow.

6. Do some laundry. Done

I had planned on spending most of the day working in the garden. I don't spend much time at the farm on weekends, unless we're going riding-too many people around. But, hubby wanted to go and try and get my riding mower started. I couldn't do it. He brought jumper cables, and was able to get it running! He also hung my solar fence charger for me. Once the battery is charged, I'll be hooking it up. I'll keep my battery operated one up (but not on) for any time we don't have enough sunlight to keep the battery charge.

After we left the farm, we went to Harbor Freight, then to the grocery store. We did good, spent less than $100.00 between the 2 stores. It was late when we got home. Hubby was going to mow some of the lawn, but wasn't up to it, so I went ahead and mowed it, then worked in the garden.

My to do list for tomorrow is small. I try to keep Sunday's as free for relaxing and recharging as much as possible.

1. Go to church, AM and PM.

2. Go to Gloucester County Water Fest.

3. Fold and iron some laundry. I'm running out of room to put it.

4. W/hubby's help, smooth out pool, and work on filling it.

tomorrows list, so i got this all ready....

buy paint brushes and paint trim. finish attaching plywood. Figure out how to cutsey up the coop with gobs of white lattice and wooden chickens and hanging baskets. Im at the fun part of this project. many design arguments with hubby and more than one busted thumb. But its nearly done.

Try not to think about his truck sitting at his job because it wouldnt start. Wont cost very much when they tow it to the mechanic on Monday.

Pick up both kids.

Do laundry and dishes. Really dont want to do this one at all.

Pick out clothes for job interview on Monday. I have the job but I have to determine what grade Im gonna teach. But im honestly open to any of them. Thank god its not high school and its a white majority school. I know that sounds horribly racist. But going from a very violent, poverty riddled, minority high school to grade school small farm town school. well heck thats heaven in my book..

Life is on track. FINALLY.
