It is a little after 9:00 in the morning here and I've gotten a good number of things accomplished already today. It's unusual for me, so I thought I should have a record of it! I got breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher and cleaned the kitchen, took care of the girls sink that wasn't draining-there were THREE small pony tail holders down there-plus some other substance I don't care to ever see again. Of course, neither of the girls knew anything about the pony tail holders.....I watched the Bible Study video that I missed with the group last week, took Sadie on a walk, where I found a HUGE spider web with a large spider in the middle of it. The web is attached on one side to our neighbors SUV that has been parked on our side of the street for weeks-the other side is attached to our fence. I normally walk right through that area to go check the mail. Because of my timing this morning to take Sadie out, the sun was shining right where I could easily see the intricate web and the spider. I did not destroy it, but I'm thankful to know it's there so I won't have the sticky mess on me later today! After the walk I pulled the many weeds that had been growing in the rock area in our backyard. It's a large area that was used by the former owners of this home for their trampoline-something we don't own and don't plan to.
This was a job my husband has usually done and I think that's part of my extra energy today. It's now fall, we are less than a month from him coming home! This weekend we'll be gone and I won't have those days to get more things accomplished around the house. After our trip, there will hopefully only be 3 weekends left until he does return! The girls and I are so ready. I know there will be an adjustment period after he's back-there always is, but it's always worth it. I was thinking the other day how great it will when I can first hug and kiss him again-the first moment I see him. But then, almost even better than that will be a little while later, when we're talking to others, standing arouond, and he can put his hand in mine-just because he can, just because he wants too, because we belong together.
