    Okay how is this for this challenge, :laugh:

    We had a friend here today to help build fence and while he did the majority of the heavy work, my dh helped with what he could. My dh has a bad back and hip and his disabled. So I am out helping however I can and when I was wasn't needed I cleaned up the yard. Now we have two acres. I cleaned animal pens, putting wet hay on the compost, dugged up the duck yard and put soil amendments in it to help with the smell, shoveled that in, rake it, spread sand, raked wood chips, restacked firewood, the list is endless and I am not done yet. Then I came in and dID some housework and made lunch, then I promptly fell asleep on the couch at 3:45 in the afternoon. I don't take naps, so that is luxury. I fought the sleepy feeling as long as I could. I been up since 4 because of water aerobics and lap swimming so I was so tired. Then I thought of LYNNIE and went and put on my sweats, curled up on the couch and fell deeply asleep and woke up two hours later refreshed. The girls were excellent and it was a nap from heaven. DD was having a seizure when I woke up so I was feeling guilty and then I thought NOPE, NO GUILT!!!! :laugh:

    THANKS LYNNIE!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Way to go Amanda ..

    BTW - did you log all that yard work in as exercise -- big calories there...

    Team - in addition to working in my jeans and sweats yesterday, I got a 45 minute massage from my husband while watching the NCAA tourney.. loving myself (and DH) right now...

    Janie Beth, massages are lovely, glad you go to enjoy one! :smile:

    I just put it under general gardening on here, I am sure it was more calories than general gardening but then that is for my benefit.

    Have a great week-end everyone! :flowerforyou:

    remember the commercial with the white bunny that clucked like a chicken.. suddenly can't get that out of my head..

    can't have chocolate - I know how horrible - but have a terrible weakness for any type of Peep.. bunnies, chicks, any color - love those bad, bad peeps...

    I've never done that...Okay maybe I have. They didn't blow up though. They got to a certain size and then just deflated.
