Doing What I Do

My goodness, I have been one busy lil bee.

 Skittering from here to there like a bunny dodging a hawk.  But truly that is the way I like things to happen.  Me busy, not being to still and having a full day of activity.

Sometimes I wonder why it is that this is what makes me happy.  Sure I get tired.  Who doesn't?  But even in that I still am most often the one who would get up and tackle the next chore.

So an example of a day for me?  Well, let's take Sunday of this week. I was up by 6 a.m. and putting up the dinner dishes I had washed the night before.  Then I folded a load of laundry, put it up and started the next load to dry.  Made a pot of "coffee" (I use Teeccino, a herbal alternative) and set out some items for a quick breakfast.  On to the computer to set up the church bulletin and my lesson for relief society.  Done with that I hung the second load of laundry and put it up while starting the last load for the day. Then I woke up the hubby at 8 a.m. so he would be ready for church by 9 a.m.  Dressed, makeup and gathered up the table clothes I had washed for church this week.  Loaded up the car and washed the breakfast dishes up.  Got to church and printed the bulletins, set up the music for service and prepared my room for our lessons for relief society.  Then was able to visit a bit before church started at 10 a.m.  3 hours later we had finished with sacrament meeting, Sunday school, and our group sessions. Loaded back up my stuff into the car and back home we went.  Made lunch, washed up those dishes and put all of them away.  Hung up the last load of laundry, cleaned up dog yard (always a stinky job), watered the flowers, herbs and veggie gardens.  Sowed the watermelon patch and watered it too. Also fed the chickens, dogs, and cat. Swept the house (oh my the dog hair and dirt!), mopped and started dinner.  Made red velvet brownies for dessert, set the table, washed the cooking pots and pans and enjoyed a meal for 6 with our guest. Finished and cleaned the table (twice, once from dinner and again after our dessert), then did up the dinner dishes.  By now it is 8 p.m. and was happy to crawl into bed so I could go online some and then read a book before crashing out a 9 p.m.  Yeppers that is how a 15 hour day normally looks for me.  And to tell the truth, I was not that busy.  Just doing as I put it.  Did not have to go and clean anyone else's home, care for any other pets than my own and no shopping trips or such.
