Working Like a Dog

Or should I say, tired as a dog?

As if we needed more to do, this week is going to be a bit of push. We have our final big-city market to contend with, there is work that needs to be done on the house and barn, we need to cut grass and finish stacking wood, the kid's schooling and extracurricular activities are starting to kick into gear, and we have a vacation coming up.

The question is, where do we begin? R's family is visiting at the end of the week, so we have to prepare for that, but before we can really begin in full force, we have to make dumplings for the early part of the week, which makes cleanup that much harder. It will be going down to the wire.

I also need to get the food for the weekend, and plan meals for three days. The hardest part is being busy and knowing that while you're working like a dog, there are things that need to be done and yet you cannot do them. That, for me, is the most frustrating part.

I will say this, it sure makes the days go by quickly, not that that is a good thing. I'll be glad to shelve the dumplings for a bit.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to superburg for the pic.
