Reward at End of Day
Had a super-low energy day yesterday. Almost needed a caterpillar tractor to drag me through the day. Passed out immediately after plopping into bed last night and slept an hour and a half past the six o'clock alarm this morning. I think my better half felt sorry for me, so he let me sleep. Either that or I might have been a titch on the grumpy side yesterday and he was hoping the extra sleep would improve my disposition.
I feel 'bout back up to full energy today and have been productive. Town errands in the morning, laundry all done, more dill pickles canned and a heavy-duty remodeling planning session from late afternoon until just now.
As a reward for being such a good girl today, I just made root beer floats. Hubby got one, too, because he also did good today, got important things done . . . and behaved himself.

That looks wonderful! Is it homemade root beer? Chicken Mama makes some really good stuff!
Oh dear, I'm hanging my head in shame. No, we haven't made any root beer in years. Gave all our bottles to Chicken Mama so she may have to carry on the tradition.
I thought Chicken Mama had perhaps shared with you, is all! Isn't that what the kids are for, any way? You teach them to do all the things you don't want to do (ie. dishes!), then they do it for you? I know, I'm delusional... ;)
That looks yummy! That's my kids' favorite, and only grandma makes them "the best"! Whenever we come visit that's what they get as soon as I leave to go somewhere, and when she comes here she always reminds me to get root beer and ice cream before she gets in LOL! I just hope Chicken Mama can have some time to make root beer again, it's sad watching her have no time for the things she loves to do, hopefully that will improve now! Did you get a lot done on the remodeling?
Patty - Yeah! You're right! I think I'd better put in my order right now! ;o)
Erin - I, too, am hoping things will stabilize a bit for my little daughter. There will be a lot less emotional turmoil related to the job but there's still the pressure now to make a "go" of her own business.
The remodeling work yesterday was all brain storming on paper. We've got a couple of real sticky wickets to deal with and it's gonna require some creative ideas that we can both be happy with! We've had to face the reality that most of the work is NOT going to be done this summer, but we'll keep at it until the frigid winter weather calls a halt to the progress. We'll keep at what we can inside though. It's a huge project. In my dreams, I'd love to hire it done, but that's not a possibility.
Wish we were there already, hubby has construction background and is really creative with ways around things! We didn't hire anything out for our home, we couldn't afford to. He'd be happy with payment of a root beer float LOL!
Erin - Oh, if only! We could surely use the help . . . and he could have all the root beer floats he wanted! Heck, I'd gladly feed you all three times a day for the months (and months, and months, and months) you'd be here helping with this mess!! :o)
P.S. Couldn't he retire right now so you can move north?
LOL, sure, I'd love it if we could move right now, but not sure how to pay the mortgage on root beer floats, getting a "real" job is scaring me!
