Consolation Prize

Posted on 11:19 AM by follow me


I have been a naughty blogger. I know. Feel free to give me the verbal spanking I so deserve. In my defense, let me say that getting a house cleaned, unpacked, arranged, painted, weeded, mulched and fluffed in 6 weeks time is a huge undertaking. The end of the school year is always such a hectic time but throw in a graduation and company 2 weekends in a row and you have a recipe for insanity. On top of that my danged 'ol family expects me to cook and clean. Hello??? What are they thinking?


Now I've gotten to the point that I always get to right before company gets here where I just have to let it go. I can only do what I can do. I am just one woman and without benefit of superpowers, it is not all getting finished.


 I have a bathroom with unpainted walls but freshly painted trim, a front porch with one coat of white paint covering the deep green window trim and freshly installed stairs that have been neither caulked nor painted. Life will go on. Always one to look on the positive side, I am choosing to focus on what we have been able to accomplish which is really an astonishing list for such a short time.


Our Summer vacation doesn't officially begin until next Wednesday at which time I am going to become a blogging fool. I have so much to share. I'm going to blog so much that you will get tired of me and beg me to stop. Until that time I leave you with these hastily snapped, unstaged photos to quiet those of you that feel a need to complain about my lack of updates. That means you Michelle Skinner.
