It started Friday when I came home not feeling all that great and Marci had a graduation to attend. Marci had also rented a large dumpster for us to fill, some spring cleaning. I was up several times that night getting something to eat or drink, my body was wanting fuel to fight this thing.
Saturday morning we were all still not feeling great but got busy. We spent a lot of time in the garage, then in Riley's room, then Maddie's room, then the backyard, tossing things we no longer needed/used/broken. It was a long hard day of not feeling well, but feeling very good about the work we did. Went to dinner, then home to watch Iron Man on Blue-Ray which I got for my bday. Great movie! That was fun, but it kept us up very late, got to bed around midnight - including the kids.
Sunday was a very slow morning, but finally around lunch time we got going again. Finished the garage (well, still some organizing to do and a few boxes to go through but it's MUCH better now). Saturday Marci got four bales of straw to spread over the backyard. Thanks to the dogs and the rain, there wasn't much grass left and it was just a big mud pit. Finished cleaning the backyard and Marci and Riley spread the straw all around. They did a great job and it looks fantastic! Major plus is now the dogs won't be coming in super muddy!
Got to bed at our usual time, which was nice. It was hard to get up this morning and both kids are home sick. Marci called me at 11:30am and Riley was still sleeping! Poor kids!
It was a very busy weekend with lots of hard work which was extra tough thanks to not feeling well. But we feel great that we were able to get so much done.
