A Woman's Work is Never Done!

http://www.888dag.com/

To be fair, I probably should have titled this blog; A Home-Owner's Work is Never Done! After all Mr Kiwi is pulling his weight as well. He actually suggested writing about the staggering amount of jobs-around-the-house we always seem to be lagging behind with.

On todays agenda was getting the boat ready for launch tomorrow, fertilising and then watering the lawn (should have done that BEFORE it started to rain), two loads of laundry, changing the sheets of Miss M cot, vacuuming, making the guest-bed for my sister and her fiance (he finally popped the question to her last week YAY!), sweeping the driveway, wrapping some presents, baking a quiche, baking banana-bread and fixing a loose door-handle.

That still leaves a massively over-grown backyard that needs mowing, weeding, pruning, mulching and fertilising, a badly peeling ceiling that needs scraping and painting, a balcony deck that needs at least some tlc, if not replacing, windows that need washing badly, a vegie-patch that needs building, gutters that need a clean-out in anticipation of the fire season.

And I won't even mention all those small and big things we need or would love to get that require loads of cash we don't have.

Oh well, Rome wasn't build in a day either! So I take some time out for some blogging, interrupt my day frequently for cuddles and laughs with my daughter and husband, and stop and smell the bush after the recent rain (we haven't got any roses to smell). Heaven!

Ghee and I thought I was the only one with an endless list....
Congratulations on the boat and upcoming wedding.
