Busy, busy week at work. I could tell you about it, but really it's just the same as every year. Go back and read August 2005-2008. You'll get the general idea.
Actually I was sick on Tuesday and kind of sick on Wednesday. Yesterday I felt better. It was that magical, feeling better after you've been sick, that gives you untold energy and you just keep going and going like the energizer bunny.
Several times this week Bill has mentioned to me that the local campground offered us a comp weekend because he spends so much time out there working on motorhomes. I kept saying "No. I NEED to clean and organize the house and get everything ready for school to start next week."
Yesterday he came by my work and told me again. The adult in me thought "No. I need to be responsible." The camper in me thought "It's going to be in the 90's! I can FINALLY go camping and play in the sun and relax by the pool!"
I said to MH "I can't make up my mind. Be my enabler? Tell me that my house can be cleaned anytime." She laughed and said "GO CAMPING!"
So we are. And a raspberry to you - grownup Carolyn who would clean and organize instead of camping! Come back when you're 80!
When I got home last night, I felt excited and energized. The girls had gone grocery shopping for me. I cleaned out the fridge. I mowed the front and back yards. I straightened up the worst of the mess in the house. (Hey! Did you know that we have a COUNTER in the kitchen?) I packed the trailer for the weekend. I cooked dinner. I was AMAZING!
Then I took a bath and went to bed.
It's very tiring thing, to be amazing.
