A nothing done weekend

This past weekend, Allen and I had a list of things we wanted to get accomplished. We were actually home this weekend which is, in a way, miraculous. We haven't been home in weeks. We seem to spend a lot of our time (too much I think) in Bethel so it was nice to stay home for a change.

Getting our grass cut was one or major things we needed to get done. Our backyard was up to our knees! We have two riding mowers, both of which do not work. I have been kind of stubborn about putting anymore money into fixing them so we borrowed Allen's dad's lawnmower. We had kept the front of our yard mowed with a push mower but we have 1.5 acres of land and you just can't cut that with a push mower. I started cutting grass Friday after work. I got up Saturday to do some more and then I had to work. After work, we had other things to do and when it was time to get back to cutting, it started raining and it never stopped! It rained Saturday night and all day Sunday. I got a big chunk of the back done but we still have a lot of grass to cut.

Another thing we were trying to do was get a chicken coop built. Our chickens are growing and are still in a kennel in my living room! Allen didn't even get started on the chicken coop so the chickens are still chirping away in my living room.

We also had some remodeling work we had planned to do. We still have a ways to go before our house is finished but since the weather is nicer we are hoping to paint the outside this year and get our yard landscaped and all that fun stuff. So we had hoped to get 2 windows put in and get our yard cleaned up. Allen wants to cut down pretty much everything but the really old Oak trees in our yard so we have a lot of work to do in the yard department. Nothing was done on that front this weekend either.

The only thing we really accomplished, other than cutting some grass, was cleaning up. Our house needed a good Spring cleaning and though we can't really clean our house good since it's under construction, we can still keep it presentable. We got some stuff put away and got caught up on our chores. But that's the only thing we really accomplished.

Corbin has not been feeling well the past few days and it makes it difficult to get anything done. He's had a slight temperature all weekend and you can tell he felt bad. He was very needy and clingy so he was one of the reasons we didnt get much done. But the rain certainly didn't help either.

We are hoping to be home again this weekend (TWO in a row WOW) so are planning to try again. Hopefully, this time around we can get more done.
