  A Weekend At Home
This has to be a first. There are three shows this weekend within driving distance, and I'm staying home. Four different friends and I were all planning to attend the Mineral Wells, WV, show this weekend, but one by one, we've had to cancel. I was the last hold out, but I've had a cold for a week and it doesn't seem to be letting up any. I think I'll stay home and rest.

Of course, I do have a little breeding to do. But after that, I'm going to get some rest.

And I did promise myself that I would muck out the barn weekly this summer. But that shouldn't take long since it has only been a week. A few minutes of shoveling, then breed a few does, and then I'm going to get some rest.

Last weekend we had company and we really enjoyed it. We worked a bit in the yard and almost got the garden ready to plant. I really don't want to put that off another week. So I guess we should get a few seeds planted this weekend. I can use the manure I shovel for that. And then breed those does and take my nap.

Of course, I haven't done much work on the websites I've been working on. And I just got a new one yesterday to do. I would like to work on that design for at least a few minutes before I take my nap. I can do that in the evening. I should breed the does first, then shovel, then plant, and then work on websites. But I guess I'd better not take the nap because it would make it too late in the evening and I wouldn't be able to go to sleep that night.

Besides, I need to do some housework. We need to get our house appraised so we can tackle another project. I can clean house in the evening after the garden is planted and the manure is shoveled. Of course, I will still start by breeding the does. But maybe I should work on the websites after the kids go to bed. I can do that in the dark, but I can't plant at night and it would disturb sleeping children and puppies to clean house at night.

So if I get up early, do my regular barn chores, breed the does, check on my 30 kits, shovel manure, plant the garden, clean house, and work on websites, I can still get to bed by 11:00 p.m.

Hmmmm, somehow it doesn't sound a lot more restful than going to the show.

LOL, Laurie,
You sound like me, always finding something else to do instead of rest. How true it is that a woman's work is never done! :)

I am, if nothing else, a busy woman. But I've filled my life with people, activities, and things I love, so I wouldn't change a thing! My list of favorite things include my husband Andrew, our four children, my Holland lop show rabbits, our long coat Chihuahuas, ballroom dancing, and my cobalt glassware, gifts, and accessories business.
