spend more time outdoors

The good weather helps a lot, and I’ve backed down on how much time I spend on the computer. Actually got a ton of stuff done outside today, so I’m pretty proud of me.

..not enough outdoor time. I started getting rather depressed today and stepping outside just for a little while perked me right up. I’ve got to start whittling down the amount of time I spend on the computer and kick myself outside more while the weather is nice.

We nearly hit 50 degrees today! Of course the next week is back into the 20’s, but at least we’re starting to warm up. It’s sooo much easier for me to get myself outside when the weather isn’t so cold! Yay Spring!

I hate snow, winter and cold, so getting outdoors more is starting to get more difficult as the temperature drops and I feel like hiding out inside. However, as I still have lots of outdoor winterizing to do, I’ve put this on the agenda for being done on or by next weekend:

1) Rake up and burn off all the leaves in our yard
2) Clean the junk out of our rain gutters
3) Take the kids for a few more walks before it gets too frigid to be fun.
4) Winterize the trees and flower garden so they’re ready for the cold weather.

That should get me out a bit more than my comfort level dictates anyway.

It’s a beautiful day and I’m sitting inside at the computer. I’m officially kicking myself and the kids outside for some playtime.

I’m actually doing well on this one. I’ve brought the girls out to play outside quite a bit and gotten tons of yard work done! Woo!

Since the weather has gotten nicer, I’ve managed to get up and out more. I’m splitting time between doing yardwork while the kids play and taking them on walks. So far so good, and they’re having a blast and I’m getting some things accomplished that have been on my to-do list for a while.
