So -- those jobs have to be "farmed out" to someone who is better suited to them.
Just thought I'd pass that on. Hugs, Lee  |
ROFL... well I'm not surprised, I do flare up quite a bit when I do those things. Which is why there are animal hair tumbleweeds floating around here quite often
LOL I pushed my limits last week and tried to run the edger AND I trimmed a small tree, paid the price for that as well.
I did have my older son do the vacuuming today, but I had to run the floor cleaner b/c no one really does it 'right'.
I'm just running out of things I CAN do, it's frustrating and then when I DO do something, it's humiliating b/c I get sore muscles from it. I used to work out, lift weights, etc, not crazy, but I was nice and fit. Now I'm a weak flabby mess. My kids are young, I feel like and invalid mom. /end sob story
