I hope today is more productive than yesterday. Everybody was draging, kids had a county fair hang over and weren't wanting to move. oh-so-cranky.

Does walking 30' to the chick coup count. Actually were going to the fair today (hours of walking right?).:D It is overcast to day and my fibromyalgia is in high gear, it's going to be a long day.
I did ok when I had kids 5 of em' kept me on the run. well that and the 200 yard dash to the barn to do chores 2-3 times a day. I live on a very small chunk of land now. I started gaining weight when I turned 40. and only a size 6? at this rate what will I look like next year? yikes!:/
