Current Mood: Jammin’

It’s Tuesday again…..time for some tackling!  However, unfortunately I won’t be able to get much done today as we have a busy schedule of playgroup this AM followed by school.  Instead of trying to squeeze a good tackle in that little amount of time, I am going to tell you what I tackled this weekend.  Drum Roll Please…….Because the weather was so spectacular on Saturday, and because it was in much need of being done (especially since I think the last time I think I did it was sometime in July) I took a few hours to…..shave my legs.  (EWE, No……Gross)  Seriously though, I mowed the lawn.  Brad was able to sucessfully fix the brakes on my car, so I figured I’d take it up to the gas station to put some much needed air in it’s tire and fill my little gas tank for the mower.  The yard was pretty bad, probably a good 3 inches tall in the back yard in spots.  I hadn’t mowed it in so long because it was so dry, and brown for most of the summer.  It got so bad that I finally gave in and started watering it some nights just to get some green back in it.  Well, then after we had a few weeks of MI rain finally it kinda got out of control, and I haven’t had much time to take on the task of mowing.  It was so thick I think I emptied my mower bag like 3 times in the back yard.  Here in Grand Rapids we have yard waste bags (they are like 4ft. tall by 1ft wide), I filled 2 of them to the top by the time I pulled out some of the dying filler weedy type stuff we have in our back yard.  It took me about 2.5 hours to get it all done, and our yard isn’t even that big!  Ah well…..it looks beautiful now. 

Oh, and yesterday I tackled 6 loads of laundry.  I also have hopes to continue cleaning our overly dusty house some time this week.  For more tackling check out 5 Minutes for Mom!  What are you tacking today?
