Less Than Productive

| | Comments (10)
What I planned to do: Prime and paint large window frame in kitchen. Prime and paint small window frame in kitchen. Prime and paint corner of baseboards behind woodstove. Scrub kitchen floor with ammonia then wax to a gleaming shine. Begin painting the dining room to coordinate with the lovely finished kitchen. Make curtains for kitchen from fabric purchased nearly two years ago that is now discontinued and can't be found anywhere at allwhatsoever. Work in backyard, spray clover and weeds, trim up and clean up noticable public areas that are showing signs of neglect from the last snow storm. Pot up plants for hanging baskets for front porch. Scrub planters for front porch and place lovely ferns on either side of the front door. Fill planters with lovely flowers for the front porch steps. Work on blog template requests. Finish quilt. What I accomplished in 1 week: Prime and paint large window frame in kitchen. Prime and paint small window frame in kitchen. Prime and paint corner of baseboards behind woodstove. Make two of eight curtain panels. For three days get Colby to work. Pick Colby up from work. Try to find rims for her Explorer that do not cost $400+ each. Cook three meals a day, every day for children home on Spring Break. Bring in firewood and keep fire going in woodstove due to temperatures barely cliimbing into the 50's all week. Wash dishes. Wash clothes. Wash dishes. Wash clothes. Wash dishes. Wash clothes. Rinse and Repeat. Wash dishes. Wash clothes. I am really struggling to get things done today. Colby doesn't have to go to work so she is going to help me with Steven today. Maybe I'll get to the point I can show you a few photos tomorrow. Then I dropped a piece of firewood. It nearly broke two of my toes. One toe is cut and bruised. There is no way I can wear a closed toe shoe but the foot is so ugly in its current state that my cute sandles and slides don't look so cute with black and blue and bloody toes poking out the tip.

Oh, Angie, I am so sorry! You poor thing. Have Colby wait on you today - hand and foot. Hope it heals up soon.

The good news is you have a nurse in the house.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

OW.

I'd be happy if I accomplished one-tenth of your list.

No kidding! That is way too much. I would never write it down...because isn't it just a little depressing?!? :)

Sorry about the tootsies, take care of them!

That is a big list. I hope that the toes are feeling better soon so that you can tackle it.
Perhaps Colby could lend a hand. We are hungry for more pics . xx- the bee

OUCH. Your poor foot! And wow... that list sounds like you accomplished ten times what **I** got done. (Sheepishly heads back to packing boxes)

You are my motivation, Angie. These days, I'm happy if I take care of Gabriel and then get one load of laundry done. Oh, and I've been trying to make the bed every day. Your list seems unbelievable to me.

And your poor toes! I hope they heal quickly!
