Oh what a day...

I am EXHAUSTED! We spent the entire day (well almost) in the yard working. We spread two scoops of mulch (but still need 2 more, I think), we spread 10 bales of pinestraw, almost completely installed the boys' new swingset, (well, before all of this I had to go and get the swingset, then Trey went and got the mulch, then I had to go get plants which took 3 trips into Home Depost b/c they wouldn't all fit in one buggy), started planting some of the plants...gees, so much stuff...doesn't really sound like a lot but there were a lot of small things that were completed in getting these big things done. We still have lots of work to do and hopefully will have it finished in two weeks (that's our goal). I will try to post pictures tomorrow. We worked until it was dark tonight so I couldn't take any. I hope not to work in the yard tomorrow but I really need to dig the holes and pour concrete down for the swing set so it is solid in the ground. I also need to sew the panels for my bedroom since I haven't been able to get that done either.

And by the way - my poison ivy is already looking better. The prednisone/benadryl combo is obviously working. My arms didn't itch nearly as much today and it is starting to heal. Thank goodness! I hope it's gone enough by next weekend so I won't look like a freak at my dance recital (well, I will probably already look like a freak - adult dancers can be creepy but I love to tap and I guess I just don't care what people think...I can't wait to tear up the dance floor!!!!)
