May 3rd 2015

A day off.

That is sort of what today became.

I got up earlier than I expected

and did quite a bit of cooking for the week. 

Prepped, sorted, cleaned the fridge.

I love when a busy week,

finds me with a fridge full of pre-made meals.

BECAUSE it is a busy week ahead

for the Shannon household.

Although I have had a really busy 2 weeks already,

I am thankful that I was well enough to enjoy

everything that was happening.

Between prepping, having and cleaning up

from a very successful cancer fundraiser,

to enjoying a nice birthday,

finalizing plans for John's new teeth,

a photo shoot for Judy's prom,

vendoring a crop in Sparta

and planning for a busy upcoming week...

my body has decided

its time to take it easy.

This will be a harder week

because I am seven days away

from my Remicade infusion.

So this is a week that I need to be more careful

about how much I try to fit in.

In the next six days:

Clean up monday,

LDO tuesday,

Officers Parade wednesday,

Groceries thursday

Prom friday,

Family day saturday and

Mother's Day sunday.

  

PLUS

whatever pops up during the week.

I might as well just accept my week of resting

so I can really enjoy the upcoming days.

I happily started that process today!

I did a bunch of cooking yes,

I even got the kitchen cleaned up after.

When I had eaten lunch,

apparently my body decided it had had enough

and passed out on the sofa

ALL afternoon!

Apparently that was dumb!

When I woke up my husband 

had managed to bring home some treasures.

a couple old tractors and a potato planter

he has decided will make wonderful garden ornaments.

I wasn't thrilled,

but when Judy sided with John

at the dinner table about them...

I chose to ignore the fact that this crap 

has made it to our property.

Instead when Judy sided,

I threw mowing the lawn 

on her platter of to do's tonight!

When John chose to laugh at that,

he got the job of mulching a garden,

once the job of dishes and groceries 

were handed out.....

well,

my point was made

and no screaming or arguing.

AND

I went and sat on the sofa!

hahahhahahahhahahahhah

Good night from the junkyard on John Street.
