spring = productivity

i have decided that my energy level and determination to be productive correlates directly to the weather. now that it's starting to perk up out there (well for the most part, minus the frost last night), i've felt much more energized to get things done around the house. i know it's not much compared to all the projects we have "underway" and left to start, but at least we're not stalled anymore, like we were this winter.

this weekend, while mom so kindly worked on cleaning the inside of our house (why? cause she's the best mom in the world!), andrew and i got some free mulch that a friend had left over (thanks SO much, page!) and filled the [previously mud-hole filled] dog pen with it. it was a two-day project, but it makes a huge difference, and i'm convinced the dogs are happier for it as well.

not the best picture, but it's what i have

when work starts back for the week, i'm usually out of commission as far as housework is concerned since i'm so exhausted when i get home, and earlier this week that was certainly true. BUT this morning, i am proud of my productivity, so i shall share it with you!

before 8:17am, i successfully:

• woke up (yes, this is an event - it's my morning off!)
  
• jimmy-rigged the floor upstairs [that has been unfinished for months] so that it is complete (except the closet, for which i need a saw)
• moved some shelves
• moved and unpacked a few boxes in the office
• unloaded, loaded, and run the dishwasher
• fed and medicated all three dogs
• and made a pot of coffee

considering i woke up around 7:15... i'd say that's not a bad hour's work!

if only i was that productive every hour of every day...
