PRODUCTIVITY!
LOL I know it sounds crazy but holy crap, I got SO MUCH DONE this weekend! Check out how my front porch and yard looked when I got home from work Friday afternoon:
Soooo... when I got home from work, I got busy. My boss promised to bring over his way-tall ladder for me to use, so while I was waiting on that, I started working on the yard. Between the yard and the guttering, James and I came inside about 8:30PM, showered, ate a cupcake each, andwent DIRECTLY to bed. Through the course of the evening, not only did we get the guttering ENTIRELY cleaned out (well, except for about 3 feet that did NOT seem securely attached to the roof, and therefore we didn't want to risk leaning the ladder up against it) and a bunch of plant life gone...
Today, I got up about 8:30, watched an episode of Cake (the cute kids crafty show, which always inspires and annoys me at the same itme), ate some cereal... and went back outside. I finished cleaning up the trimmings from the bushes I trimmed last night, prepared a section of the ground to plant green beans in later, cleaned the front porch off, unpacked a box of James's stuff, weeded some plants, transfered the grass from the soon-to-be bean patch, onto a section of grassless ground, and collapsed in utter exhaustion.
I also made two items using new collage materials I found, straightened the living room, found & installed a new vaccum bag, and other completely random tasks!!!
So see, all of this nervous energy is good for something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But now it's 1:40AM, so could someone please find the energy's off switch now? I need a nap.

I think using the additional power and energy from coming off that medication for the good of your home is amazing Jana! Wearing yourself out like that will also help you sleep at night. Genius.
You are so brave, going up there like that! I think you're doing an amazing job taking care of your home, you have inspired me. I hope I can get out there and start going something with my garden. Need a car darn it!
Thats an awesome job Jana. I wish you lived closer to me so you can help me do mine. lol The board of directors here would be so happy. I love your house.
Keep up the great job.

ooh it looks so much tidier!
Good work! Your house looks cute now!When you find that off switch, let me know cause I'm still looking for mine. I have been getting alot of stuff done too. Like 7 loads of laundry Saturday hung up, taken down, folded and put away. INSANE! Especially for someone who has 4 kids!
Your house is so cute and cozy. Awww...good job with all that work!! /impressed
What kind of cupcakes?
wow - that side of the porch picture speaks volumes! And I'm so glad you posted a picture of your house! It is absolutely charming! Know those gutters were hard - good for you!. It's really important to keep up with them (I say as Husband always does them here - there is absolutley NO WAY you could get me up on a roof. I stand in awe of your fearlessness).
Excellent job!! Your house looks great!! It is simply adorable.
I chose to buy shades after getting rid of the blinds, those things are dust collectors and a pain to keep dust free and clean.
Umm...have you tried Melatonin? It is a great and natural sleep aid.
