I didnt know owning a house would be soooo much work. I was figuring, “how hard can it be to cut grass once a week?”

well yeah, we might be at that point in about 3-5 years, but for now, it’s something EVERY weekend.
for example, i did the weekly grass cutting saturday morning, then onto taping off the bathroom for painting. oh dont forget the shopping. wait, dont forget the family party.
sunday rolls around, jen’s painting like a fiend, and i think to myself, “yeah, i can knock out that landscaping in 2-3 hours” ok, so 15 mins into it, i’m dead tired. luckily, dad stops over to help. we realize that 4 1/2 hours into it we’re only half done, so we call it a day. i’m near death at this point, and jen’s still cleaning away. how does she do it? she worked an assload of hours this week, but she’s still on a mission!

the party is this saturday, and i’ve still got TONS of stuff to do. and seeing that my back feels like somebody kicked me in it, it should be lotsa fun to get everything rolling!
