homecation!

It's homecation time! We had Cesar Chavez day off  for state workers and I decided to pull a four day weekend- and get some spring cleaning and creating done! Today was my first day
My to do list is VERY VERY LONG... HERE IT IS:in no particular order:
*clean house- ugh and mop -double ugh- this includes laundry
*weed yard
|*clean up garage
*do the bills
*dye my hair...(Yes I have  about 10% white lets not talk about it shall we )
* do the  weekly grocery shopping
*send in the State taxes
*finish the seed planting
*clean my craft room ( Marks room hes hm next week from boot camp)
*make  a bunch of stuff for my 2 craft faires in April
*gather my materials for my April online class
*watch Church conference over weekend and have missionaries over for dinner
*start running for 5 k in may
*all this while playing and enjoying eva and of course, spending time with  the Man himself- Mr Frank.
I think I put a lot on my plate- I am starting to feel anxious-!
Today,  I did the bills. Went to lunch, hung out with my sister in law , took a nap and watched a movie with my daughter. we played in the garden, but I did not pick even 1 weed! It was sunny and glorious and I enjoyed every LAZY MINUTE OF IT. What did Scarlet Ohara say? TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY!
On another  note:Watched Eat Pray Love last weekend  and it was ...alright I guess. The best part for me was when the Italian man told Julia ( I am so rich and bored I can vaca for a yr) that Americans feel guilt about too much instead of enjoying their lives - the simple pleasures in life. Basically, I am paraphrasing. I liked that part. I personally know no one who has money and time to leave their lives for a year to vacation and find themselves I found the movie insipid and sad. I could not really relate. Additionally, if that was me, I know the hot Brazilian would not be hitting on me - it would have been the toothless shaman-or the old dude hanging in India- and those of you who knew me when  I  was single probably said he already did ! Har de har har!!!
Plus, any mother out there knows THERE ARE DEFINITELY days when you feel numb. Exhaustion is what we call it. We do not just drop our babies and lives to find ourselves, but look inward and gather the internal fortitude to keep on going. I felt the Julia Character lacked internal fortitude.
Theres my two cents. Now I gotta go get my child some food. She doesn't Care about that movie either!
