Spiders, cob webs and dirt- Oh my...

Well I just spent the last two days outside with a brush, soap, a bucket and my muscles. What's left of my muscles. I did lose a lot of muscles and strength with my weight loss. I see a difference. But that's ok, I can get it back and I'm skinny-so it's all good! The spiders are way out of control. I've never seen anything like it. They are so sticky that I'd scrub them off the house and then @ one point I was trying to hose down the steps and they were stuck to the steps. No matter how much water pressure or how close I got they would not come off without a brush and broom. There webs are like glue and do not come off with a squirt of a hose. The siding on our house was dirty, yucky with dirt and webs . I'd hose it, wash it, hose it and wash it again. I'm getting ready to paint some trim and help build our deck and this was the first chore on my list. Phew... I feel it today, but it feels great. I've worked very hard on the inside and the outside of the house the last 2 days. I do hate working outside and getting pooped and then having to figure out dinner for everyone when I'm fried myself. I was ease dropping last night while my hubby was talking to his mommy on the phone. He was telling her that I scrubbed & washed the side of the house all by myself and things have sure changed in my life. He is proud of me for just getting up and tackling it all by myself and asking for no help. My life has sure changed. Old Susy-could not or would not of done that by herself. He notices how things have changed and how I have changed. :) Today I'm going to get my teeth cleaned and then Wal mart. Later today after cleaning my house I'd like to start another on pulling some weeds and grass again and bring out some red wood posts we have in the back 40 that need lined up in our driveway to make it more attractive.

Well Monday my boy went to go see his new girl friend. Boy oh boy... New times in his life and in mine. Mommy misses the baby Jonathan as these new worries are kind of stressful on me. LOL Silly but I worry about sex, his heart getting broken, he's in a different town...all of it. I was a worry wart till he got home that day. It's just wonderful watching him grow up but stressful too. I'm sure some of you understand. His GF lives in a town about a hour + away. He got a ride with his friend and the 4 of them went to see the movie UP and then went to the beach. He is realizing how fast $25 bucks goes when you have a GF. he he Anyway I know I was being a mom and worrying but I had a zillion things running through my mind. I have to let the boy grow and get out of the house and let him make life lessons and choices. But I worry still. :)


Well I'm off to get the teeth cleaned. Fun, fun...hate it but I do it every 4 months. Scrape, scratch, poke, pick...ouch!
