Stress Out Worked Out

So Monday I hit my limit of stress. I am one of those people who just push aside stress rather than coping with it until it builds up and you freak out. My sweetie was nice enough to see that and we worked most of the day in the yard.
Day 1 - weeding, mulching, pruning.
Day 2 - bought ground cover and flowers and planted them
Day 3 - Till the space between the sidewalk and road and till the garden. We also got some strawberries and put them in big planters. We put in a mail box that didnt have a rotted post, rusty and leaky box and put seeds down to grow groundcover plants by it.

It was so great for me to do yard work. I love to do landscaping. I hate weeding but the rest of the part is fun. I honestly thought it wouldnt take as long to do things as it has but it is a reward for sure. I cant wait for the flowers and things to bloom and grow.

The kids were so good. We sat them in the front yard and they didnt even come close to the road or sidewalk. They played in the grass or on the swings and were perfect angels. J'alee helped me put in ground cover and made her own piles of dirt and stuff. She actually found a snail and played with it on her hand for a good half hour before we let it go home.

Thanks to Mike for coming and tilling for us and for neighbors who let J'alee play at their house so long while tilling and doing work but the road. We are planning to plant some veggies in the garden for the first time since the summer we bought the house. I am really looking forward to it cus it is something we can do as a family and it gives us much needed time together!
