Biting off more than I can chew?
Never.
I’m a big girl, I can can handle life. But boy oh boy is it coming at me fast and furious.
That’s how us cowgirl folk are… right? We get up early and get to the business of life. Schooling our kids, baking & cookin’ up beans. Gardening, laundry, tending to the critters. Mucking stalls, running to the feed store. Helping a friend, helping a stranger. And, if we scrape up a few minutes, we clean a small portion of the house. The smallest amount we can get away with, lol.
In fact, I’ll sweep the barn isle every day with a grin on my face but heaven forbid I sweep my kitchen more than once a week without trying not to cuss under my breath. (Hey, I’m just being real here.)
Today was a catch up day. We had to get caught up on my 2nd grader’s math. Had to get some seeds in the ground that we sprouted last week. Got a bunch of pots ready for starting more seeds in the house tomorrow. 2 fresh loaves of bread on the counter. Chocolate muffins and blueberry drop biscuits in the freezer. My own brand of “instant oatmeal” in little zip bags. Huge jars of chilli beans and chicken stew in the fridge. Cornbread and ortega muffins in a zip lock bag. Smoked sausage in marinara sauce all wrapped up and ready for an italian meal later this week.
Whew.
Laundry is just about caught up- just need to fold a few loads. That will be my “me” time, lol. I’ll get to sit down for a minute!
And to top it all off I had this bright idea to enroll in an Equine Anatomy class. Sounded like a good idea at 10:00 the other night. I woke up yesterday morning to loads of documents to print out, lots of reading to do and homework assignments that are making me feel uber-stupid.
And yes, uber-stupid is a word.
Luckily, us cowgirl types don’t simply bite off more than we can chew and then just cry about it. We get up, dust off our jeans and kick some butt.
This week’s meals are DONE. Just heat and serve. (Cooking’s butt kicked)
Homeschool caught up. (Another butt kicked.)
Laundry- yep, also kicked.
And Equine Anatomy- prepare to get a whoopin’. Right after I scoop manure, finish the laundry, eat tacos and put the boys to bed. THEN, you’ll get yours. Now where did I put those flash cards?
