Are You Going to Take It Easy?

Hoo boy! As much as I enjoy myLot and my dear friends, the last couple of days have kept me away. Yesterday, after a 7 mile walk, my friends and I went out for coffee and. I didn't have any and. I saved my calories for a luncheon I had with my two best friends. However, I only had a small salad. Why? I had to save myself for dinner at another couple's home. Today, I walked again with my friends for 5 miles and went out for breakfast. I had a delicious omelette, which gave me lots of energy to do yard work and gardening with my hubby, son, and Doodles. So tonight I am going to take it easy. Hubs is now grilling hamburgers and afterwards, I will put my feet up on our new chaise and watch House of Cards on Netflix. I'm partied out. And you?

Nope I feel like a prisoner at times since I'm always stuck at home. I love my babies, just wish we could get out more. Glad you have been having fun. =)

@andriaperry Even if I drove we don't have the money for a second vehicle and all that comes with it such as insurance every month. I wouldn't be able to just drop my husband off at work because he needs all of his tools that are in the truck each day for the work he does. It's a lot of tools! Plus when your self employed it doesn't look good to customers being dropped off anyway... It wouldn't work.

Young mommies are usually stuck at home a lot, especially with a brood your size. Things will get better. You have a lot on your plate right now.

Walking 5 miles and doing yard work can be tiring. It's nice to just put your feet up and let your hubby do the cooking. Kevin Spacey is a great actor and his acting as the character pres. Underwood enforces the distrust we have of politicians..

It feels great just mellowing out. I love Kevin Spacey, but who knew we'd have a Prez worse than his character?

All my plans got messed up because I could not wake Tony, he has not slept well, till today. The mosquitoes are driving me and the animals crazy., the city is NOT spraying. I just did laundry and cleaned around the house. I am about to go hunt for something to spray myself around here.

I went to bed later than my usual time. Slept well until Little Miss woke at 2 and didn't go back to sleep until 4 when I let her sleep between us. Hubby got up at 5:30 to go to a bow competition. We slept until 7 and I really wasn't rested, but got up. She was ready to roll. Have to go shopping for the rest of my groceries today. Also have to find some plants for the garden. At this point I'll need to do mostly plants to be able to harvest sooner. Then back home to do some work in the flower beds. Have to get them going too.

@DianneN after shopping with a cranky 2 year old, I am exhausted too. She is napping and I just finished a cup of ambition. Hoping it kicks in soon.

I am partied out looking after someone that is trying to do everything he should not do. So I am relaxing my nerves more than anything they are quite frazzled at the moment. You take it easy and enjoy your Film or Series.
