What are you plans for today?  My plans are the dreaded YARD WORK!!  We bought this house back in 1985. I was so excited! My First House My very first house. Not my parents house, not a rental. MINE!! Well, mine and the bank (okay, fine… and DH’s too. Gesh!! Everyone wants a part of MY HOUSE!! Anyway, I finally had a house that I could paint the walls any color I wanted! A yard I could grow flowers in! I could have a veggie garden! Yard work was a cinch with the five us pitching in and getting it done. Then the kids grew up and moved out. Hummm, now DH and I have to do yard work alone?! Wait…what?? WHY?? Top it off, the kids refuse to come home on yard maintenance day!! I’m certain that I should be allowed to evoke the “you owe me” Mom clause! I don’t care that they have jobs! I HAVE A HUGE YARD!! And in 29 years I’ve come to learn I HATE YARD WORK!! Now having a big ‘ole house isn’t as much fun as it use to be. I like the walls the color they are. Which is good…
