everything? It all aches.. it's my own fault.. I'm the dingbat that declared the front of the house (yard) must look pretty and neat and such for tomorrow.. tomorrow is my brother and his fiance's couple's wedding shower, it's here. 50 people... maybe only 40-45, I'm not sure.. we set up for regrets only on the RSVP thing and that leaves me wondering and a little nervous. But anyways.. my front is now almost really pretty. I can't fix the last problem in 14 hours, the grass is dead. For some unknown reason Tim turned off the sprinklers. I do not know why. but there it is. I've turned them back on, and hope to have some greenery soon, obviously not tomorrow. I do now have a beautiful potted mandavilla, two red tea-roses, a white tea-rose (there's about 3 in the bowl), and a big pot of decorative Ivy that I split into two medium and 2 small pots. A wall hanging shelf for the front porch that Tim will hang in the morning, and 2 pink/purple chorleas (something like that).. they're pretty and do well in sun. I also got 6 cacti for the top of the corner tier planter, but it needs more love than I've time to offer before planting for tomorrow.. so the cacti will live in their pots for a few more days.
In the meantime I have to finish cleaning the inside now. Thankfully we were gone for 10 days following Drew's bday party and then only home 3 of the 4 before school started, so the house is not totally trashed, it's actually pretty good. Some quick picking up, vacuuming and wiping counters and we're set. The kids are now doing their rooms with the understanding that at 8:30 I'm vacuuming, if it's in my way then it's mine. Evil maybe, but they move!!!
Wish me luck tomorrow.. after all this work I may fall asleep before the party's over. hehe
