YAY!! FRIDAY!!! I am absolutely exhausted from this week. It rained at the beginning of the week, so I threw a temper tantrum and the sun came out. Great! The only problem is I was so worried that the sunshine would only last a short time that I took full advantage of every single sunny moment. I even stopped and smelled the roses. REPEATEDLY! This weekend is supposed to be sunny and warm, but I will not overdo it. No. It is Mothers Day Weekend and I am going to relax. Well, I will relax after work and all of my chores are done. Right.. I can only relax in a clean house. Well.. cleanish. Our new puppy Rosey loves to bring leaves and bark in the house and spread them absolutely everywhere. Maybe I should not try to have too clean of a house until after Rosey is a little older. Do they have house rakes?
