At what cost... LOL

Ok so this is funny, well kind of.

So last year after I had my surgery and spent pretty much the entire year not being able to do much cause of either pain, bleeding or exhaustion I said this summer would be different. At what cost is the question...

Well two weeks ago I scraped the idea of staying in the house all weekend doing nothing but housework... seriously how many freakin times can you sweep the floor in one day. So instead Miss Sarah and I hoped on a bus, packed a bunch of snacks and met Scott down at the boat. From 2 in the afternoon till almost 10pm all we did was sit on the boat, play cards, drank tea and pretty much relaxed. Ok so sitting on the boat wrecked my back and for 4 days after I ended up with back and leg pain but I didn't care.. we had fun.. I was outside.. I was away from the norm and enjoying myself.

So Friday night this weekend I come home and rush around the house to get it cleaned up cause its like 30+ with the humidity and no matter what I"m going with Scott on the first run with the boat cause Miss Sarah is like freakin all night about the heat and needs to cool off... I honestly believe her SPD kicked into gear with the feel of the sweat on her. So off we go for a kind of late night run but at what cost... how about my fear of being out too far in the water... yeah it wasn't good, I felt like that boat was going to tip over with my kids being thrown into the water and also too I have to get over the fear of having someone drive the boat and being able to move their eyes off of where they are going... to me its like being in a car, take your eyes off for 2 seconds and your off the road... well I'm being reminded by both hubby and son that its not the same on the boat but to me telling them "keep your eyes on the road"... well it doesn't help!!! LOL

So this weekend after a CHHA meeting I had the pleasure of spending the entire day out and around... stopped at a local plant place and bought two amazing hanging baskets and some transplants. Then we went to my sisters for a swim and supper... the entire afternoon I spent in the pool except for a brief brake so sit beside the pool and bake in the sun... hubby and son showed up just before supper for a wonderful swim with them while Miss Sarah was playing next door with her friend... it was wonderful time spent doing nothing but relaxing but at what cost? Well the sun burn I have on my face, arms and chest will heal eventually won't it... it hurts like hell but hey... can't have fun without pain... right?

So then after an amazing supper of chicken and ribs (got to try the bbq ribs on my own) it was time to pick up my other sister and out on the boat for the night.. it was blowing a little too hard to make it on the entire planned trip so we had to settle for a short run up the arm but at what cost... well keep my husband away from the waves isn't going to happen so a little swamp of salt water in my face ain't too bad is it.... LOL

So over all my plans to enjoy every freaking moment of my free time away from pain and exhaustion has worked out so far... sure a little cost of some other pain and suffering but hey its all in fun and fun is what I plan on having... I ain't sitting around doing crappy housework all the time anymore!!!!
