This weekend wasn’t amazing like last weekend, but I got a lot of stuff done. We both did actually. It was a good weekend for getting ‘er done.
A couple months ago my husband created a list of tasks we want to complete. I participated in the creating of the list, but he’s the one who wrote it. And he’s the one who keeps coming back to it, prompting us to cross one more thing off the list.
This week’s thing was a bulky item pick up. We get two a year and we’ve had some items on a potential list for a while. So last weekend my husband finally went to the site and submitted the list and scheduled the pick up for the following Monday. That Monday is today.
I took the picnic table apart earlier in the week, but we got most of the rest of it ready this weekend. And last night we piled it all of it in front of our house for pick up.
I am not sad to see any of it go.
Other things I did this weekend… I put the weed whacker together and whacked some weeds.
(You all know how much stress this backyard has caused it. It’s nice to have it “under control” again. And with this weed whacker I think I can keep it that way!)
I also went for a run on Saturday, and picked up some crickets for the dragon on Sunday. I stayed up way too late doing work Sunday night (and then stayed up even later writing this post). I think I have one more week of hard work and then the rest of the school year won’t be so bad. I just gotta get through the next week… I hope June isn’t as hectic as it usually is.
Next weekend we’re doing a little something for our daughter’s birthday with her closest friends (the ones we’ve been “podding” with during the pandemic). I started planning for that, and for her family birthday (in our backyard) the next weekend (see backyard before and after photos above). I need to run some errands before I’m really ready for either but it’s nice to have things planned.
And that was pretty much my weekend. Nothing super fun, but we crossed some unpleasant tasks off our to do list.
How was your weekend? Have you been getting things done?
I am so excited for you. You got so much cleared up and off the list BEFORE your school gets off and your husband really deeply participated!!!!! Fabulous!
All stuff no longer on your list for summer. Really a BIG help. And fire abatement handled. HURRAH. Your family is really pitching in these days and helping shoulder the load. Proud of all of you.
Fingers crossed for you this week and absolutely hoping June doesn’t throw any spanners at any of us!
Having to empty most of house, but not closets thank heavens, as have to have new carpeting done. It was such a help to see you have a collection for the refuse company! Gave me energy when I needed it!
You sound good! I’m glad you’ve been able to get stuff done. Here’s hoping things continue in the right direction for you!
