Man, my legs are so sore! We worked all day Saturday out in the yard. From 9-3 we raked and shoveled and rocked. I have to say, it looks pretty good. We pulled out some bushes that I hated and everything is now ready for the fun stuff....planting some new things and putting down rock. I love that part of landscaping....it's the grunt work that I hate. Well, I don't actually hate it but it isn't the most fun. Next weekend will be full of the same, as I want to clean up the backyard too so that it is ready for the onslaught of perennials and garden decorations. I really need to find another gnome. My little guy is getting lonely out there!
I don't know what it is about those little guys but I just love them. When I was little I used to pretend they lived out in the field that was next to our house. I convinced myself a few times that I saw little pointy red tips running through the grass....yeah, I was a weird kid. LOL.
We also got the boat all cleaned up and ready to sell. I hope that it sells quickly....this is the season....especially with people getting their refund checks back. It's a really nice boat....we just didn't like river boating. I think had we been on a lake, it would have been another story.
I have wee one home with me today. She woke up yesterday and said that she didn't feel good enough to go to church. Now, when wee one doesn't want to go to church, you know she doesn't feel good. We ended up going and she did fine. However, during the day she napped and woke up with another sore throat/dizziness/nausea. So....in about 3 minutes I'm going to call the doctor's office and see if I can get her in today. I think it may be an ear infection. We have to get her well because she has her orientation meeting for Safety Patrol tomorrow night. Yes, my daughter got the "official" geek patrol letter....she has been recommended by her teachers to become part of the coveted Safety Patrol. I kid with her....but I am very proud of her. It's quite an honor. The kids are chosen using a point system which is based on grades. She is quite happy about it!
It's 9:00 and I have already done 2 loads of laundry, dusted and mopped....I'm way ahead of the game today....yippee! I am off to call the doc now....

Congrats on Wee- One getting to be on the coveted Safety Patrol! Nick is all excited as he gets to be on the news team for his school and it all has something to do with the tv and morning announcements. He is so proud.
Hugs,
Lisa
You're always ahead of the game. My oldest hates gnomes and I love them and whenever we drive by gnome lawn art she has to scream, "OH I HATE THOSE THEY SCARE ME!" lol WTF?
That cat looks just like my Sassy....I mean just like her.
