Task 1 of the 10 Day Challenge
I decided to repot my plant, one of the easier tasks on my list for the “Ten Task in Ten Day Challenge” over at The Shabby Chic Cottage. Here’s why. After taking No. 2 son to school (June 28 is the last day), I headed to the PTA office to finish up my Treasurer responsibilities as well as attend to some of my Corresponding Secretary tasks for next year. For the last couple of weeks I, along with some of the other officers, have been hustling devoting a great deal of time to all the end of year activities like Field Day, Stepping Up Ceremony, Staff Appreciation luncheon…………… I’ll stop there, you get the picture. Truthfully, it gets hectic at times, but it is my way of giving back and being of service to others which is very important to me.
After that, I headed off to the gym, bank, Home Depot for gardening stuff for task #2, Office Depot, Stop and Shop ( to get drinks for end-of-year class party tommorrow), finally arriving at home drained, sweating (91 degrees today) with only 1 1/2 hours remaining before pick up.
By the way, why do people (you know who you are) think SAHM’s have it easy? It is such a misconception. Every so often, as I did today, I get one of those comments suggesting that I have little to do or a life of leisure;thwy really hit a nerve if you know what I mean. They have no idea and are sadly misinformed. I happen to work part time for Mr. DIY’s consulting business and my hours are flexible, but that aside, WAHM (work at home mom) is so much more accurate. Sorry about the digression, but I had to get that off my chest. Back to my task.
Determined to complete one task, I grabbed something to eat (breakfast at 1:15, how funny is that?), and started to repot my plant. Went to the garage, forgetting I was out of potting mix. Yikes!!!! Went to the neigborhood gardening store after pick up and, as you can see, I got in done. Not bad, considering I started with a small 2″ clipping. I need to cut it down so that it will fill out. Task 1 completed. YEAH!!!
