I'm so tired, I'm so sore, I ain't a'gonna do it for a dime no mo!



Two posts in one day? What can I say, I'm trying to catch up or maybe I'm just puttin some words down before they get lost amongst those dead brain cells floating around in this hollow head of mine.

Today I had company, so no nap. Then I felt bad cause the yard needed mowing and hubby has been busy as a cat covering up shit trying to catch up his weed killing and irrigation on the farm after being off much of last week with BIL. So I decided to get ta mowing on it after I asked Zach how to start and operate the danged tractor (he's 9 and the little begger knew exactly what to do). I was making good progress, had one side and the back done, had even hiked up my leg so the rose bush wouldn't snatch me off the mower when mowing close to it, and MIL drove up. So I stopped and helped her pick some maters so she wouldn't get em all again. (I'm still simmering down deep somewhere over that incident).

After she finally left I noticed it was time to start cooking supper cause hubby was due in early so he could make a trip to the hospital tonight, so I did that. Then I had a little discussion with Zach about helping out around here and begged him to finish the mowing. Of course Nanaw daren't leave him outside on that machine alone, so I moved lawn chairs, a freaking TREE limb, bicycle, Barbie jeep, and various toys out of the way of the mower else he would have mowed around them and part of the yard would still need mowing.

I think this is where I screwed up. I shoulda stayed on the mower.

I'm so danged stiff I'm not sure if I can get my leg up far enough to put my foot through the leg of a pair of drawers and I got this pain above my left boob that's causing my whole arm to go numb. It must have been the big tree limb that did it.

Someone might have to come over and roll me outta the bed tomorrow.

I've noticed as I've gotten...um, more mature, that I get sore so easily! I just don't use all the muscles that I used to. I feel your pain.

I've never used a riding mower before but I've always wanted to.

Too bad scarecrows don't work on mothers-in-law. ; )

I hope all the aches and pains ease off soon, Brenda.

lol, next year you need to plant some "maters" in pots at your MIL's house. Just tell her that you know how much she loves them so you though she might like to have her own plants at her house.

Wish we could get some mowing done - too much rain and the ground is all wet here.
