Catch-up day!

Yesterday was definitely a catch-up day for all the stuff we didn’t manage to get done over the weekend.

Saturday we went to A’s great-aunt’s 80th birthday party in St. Peters. We had a good time, but the only thing we had energy enough for when we got home was washing the dog. (Really we didn’t have enough energy for that either, but he was really dirty.) That evening we went to my parents and got my bicycle! Now that we both have bikes hopefully I won’ t end up being the one running to keep up with the dog who is running to keep up with the bicycle…

Sunday, we went to church. At 1:30 we had to be playing in the Community Band at a nursing home, so we had to leave for that around 12:30. Came home, changed shirts, and jumped back in the truck to go grocery shopping. (We bought groceries, stepladders and a new toilet. Now maybe we can get to redoing the bathroom!) Came home, showed Yoshi his new wading pool, which he was less than thrilled with at the time, and then jumped back in the truck to go get the tiller from A’s parents to finish tilling our garden. Came home without the tiller and went to bed!

Needless to say, my house did not get cleaned and there was a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink because we hadn’t had time to wash them.

So that’s why last night was catch-up night. A mowed the grass, while I dug weeds out of the garden. I also trimmed the apple tree, did 3 loads of laundry and spent some time with Yoshi so he wouldn’t feel too lonely. Then we went inside and washed up the dishes, ate a bowl of cereal, changed the sheets (I love clean sheets) and went to bed.

But at least there was less dirt around than when we had started!
