Accomplishment

...that's what I'm feeling at this moment. Not only did I get a nap on Saturday and Sunday (what a treat), but I have crossed off almost everything on that nagging to-do list. It feels awesome!! Today was a much lower key day. I served my last Sunday in the toddler nursery and next to last Sunday unless baby comes in 1st/2nd children's church.

We ate lunch at McAllister's. MMM. We came home for a snooze, although I think I was the only one snoozing. We went outside for some play time for the girls and watering/gardening for me. I am having an uphill battle with the yard this year and the keeping it watered. I water almost daily unless there is rain. The yard looks the worst is has in ages. There are brown dead/dying patches everywhere. At this point, I feel like giving up. While I was watering, a neighbor from down the block whom I haven't ever met until today came over and introduced himself. I have met his wife before, but we don't ever see them because they live on one end of the block and we live on the other--basically. Anyway, he had seen us using an impact sprinkler and noticed one day it was stuck going to one side. Well, I put it out and leave it out for awhile and usually wouldn't know if it is malfunctioning. Anyway, he works for the company that makes them and said they have had probs with the same sprinkler. Further, he had us come over to his house where he pulled out a variety of new sprinklers/hose attachments, and watering gear and gave them to us. WOW--that was cool. If only the yard would magically fix. He did mention that a large golf course in the next city over is having the same issues with their greens and such. That made me feel somewhat better.

We finished up outside and came inside so I could get on with other things...a.k.a. that Shutterfly book that I haven't been able to do all year. Well, I am happy to say...it is done!!! I am ready to order, I just want to ask Josh which type he prefers and DONE! I feel so glad to have it done. Aliyah loves the Shutterfly books and has been begging for one for several months. Now, I can finally say I am caught up on the pics.

Now, I'm off to wash some windows that are awful! I feel great about getting stuff done and even getting a bit of rest--all of it is much needed. Josh will be home soon and we may head to Chili's. YAY!
