I am tired today. Being a homeowner is hard work. Not that I'm complaining because I love, love, love my house. And I actually enjoy spending 2 plus hours every Saturday cleaning it from top to bottom. And enjoy even more spending another 2 plus hours on Sunday working in the yard. Seriously, I really do enjoy it. But it makes for an exhausting weekend and leaves me begging for just one more day off come Monday morning.
Since the kids were with their dad this past weekend, I did make sure to squeeze in a little fun. Friday night I watched my mom's play and then joined my parents and sister and brother for a few beers at the VFW hall. I had such a great time laughing and dancing and talking with my family. I'm truly blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people.
Saturday afternoon Alex had his first baseball game of the season. Although they ended up losing, Alex played really well. He got a hit and scored the only run for his team. The weather was perfect so I got a little bit of a sun tan too.
Later that evening, I met up with a couple of my dearest friends to watch the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight. We managed to snag a couple chairs out on the patio where we could also see the TV. It was a gorgeous night and I was so happy to spend the evening outside watching the fight of the century with a few of the best people on the planet.
After mass on Sunday I did my typical grocery shopping. Once home, I got down and dirty with the yard. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when the work is done.
Now it's back to work. Or at least sitting at work for 8 hours. I know if won't last long, but right now it's ridiculously slow. I'm trying to just enjoy the calm but the lack of work is not helping with the sleepiness.
Three more weeks until a Monday off!
