Since Joel can't do much physical work I spent alot of time today outside doing fall chores. We used to have a big vegetable garden behind our shed. I love to plant vegetables but since the baby came I just don't have the time for it anymore so I took it out. We have a compost pile as well and since I'm not going to use the veggie garden anymore I decided to get rid of the pile. Well that is so freaking easy to say. I had no idea how much work I was in for. It took me three hours yesterday and today to get only 1/2 of the pile down. But I am so glad. I spread the compost in the old garden so that I can plant some grass there.We also have a large holly tree that needed pruning as well so I hit that up too. So needless to say my back and shoulders are so sore now! But that work is satisfying. Next weekend I'll attach the rest of the compost and the bushes on the front of the house.

Well besides that I got my period yesterday while I was working in the yard. That was freaking pleasant ugh. Then Saturday night I went out with some girl friends. It was nice but it was hard to get myself in the mood for it. Between the monthly visitor and just being plan exhausted physically from taking care of Joel, the baby and everything else I just didn't feel like going. But I did and managed to hang till 11. My friends and I felt so old compared to the crowd at this place. It seem like everyone there was 21 and dressed like they wanted to get laid. My god, Even when I was 20 and had a great body I didn't dress the way these gals are dressing today. But to each his own I suppose!

So Joel is doing well. I know he was feeling guilty about all the work I was doing in the yard. (This was all while the baby was sleeping ) He keep coming outside to see if I needed water or anything. It was sweet.

Also I wanted to let you know that I added a new forum to this site so that we can all talk with each other. See the link to the left. You can email me if you want new categories added. Maryanne@mommyspeak.com
