A Summer promise to my Home...

My poor neglected Home. We moved in January of 2011 and immediately had decor and furniture in all the main rooms, bedrooms living room, kitchen..... But when spring came and we got to really see our yard for the first time I was sure frightened. I have done a pretty good job of keeping the inside looking nice and bringing a feeling of peace when we are home. Stephen has done what he can to make the outside presentable (which it is not by the way) by mowing and spraying weed killer. That is it my friends. I think once he sprayed off the back patio last year. Yes I'm embarrassed to admit all that but what do you do. THIS year however, since summer will not be my busiest time of year I will get to spoil that yucky lil yard of mine. Of course I will hire someone to do the heavy lifting and most of the landscaping work that needs done, but yesterday I got out the hose with our new attachment for power washing and went to town! I sprayed the whole house. I wasnt even afraid to spray down the EIGHT wasp nests I encountered. Stephen is good about getting the lawn mowed weekly but thats about all he can do with how busy he is with roofing. I'm glad I have time to help out now. It feels so great to be getting my energy back. I still have days where the migraines are bad or I feel nauseous, the main thing right now is low blood pressure. But I'm watching it and making sure to eat and drink enough so that it wont dip too low. But with my days numbered working at the salon there are so many things and projects I am looking forward to completing. The hard part is prioritizing! Things for home things for baby things for my sisters wedding things for me... and to still get enough rest each day and drink 4-6 liters of water and eat every two hours. I'm just preparing for motherhood, and all the chaos that will come with my sweet lil twinners. I can wait for all that, I'm looking forward to having TIME to do things that I enjoy and that uplift me. I'm so grateful for a Hubby that works so dang hard that I can stop working this week and focus on taking care and getting ready for the babies. My first real summer in 5 years. Lets not let it go to waste!
