Made me think of Jo Dee Messina's song "My Give a Damn's Busted".<br /><br />They say the worst day fishing is better than the best day working.<br />We helped someone fix their boat trailer in the Wally World parking lot on Saturday so they could go fishing, too.<br /><br />We always find mowing to be restful. Plus it gets something done!<br /><br />I think it's great that you want to spend time with your family. Go have a blessed time. We'll be here when you get back. ♥LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-41328180046342561572012-06-11T18:20:52.895-05:002012-06-11T18:20:52.895-05:00Anony, the hotter it gets is when the harder the w...Anony, the hotter it gets is when the harder the work gets. I hate to loose animals so we water, feed and cool off the critters several times a day. I cannot expect someone else to do that for me when I am kicking back at the lake. <br />We have pushed ourselves to the point of burn out this year. We had major problems last year and I was determined to get back to that point this year and it has just about killed me.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-58520817528350787772012-06-11T18:17:49.838-05:002012-06-11T18:17:49.838-05:00You nailed it SistaYou nailed it SistaModern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-2629753620063775042012-06-11T18:03:18.341-05:002012-06-11T18:03:18.341-05:00it is easy to get burne out so to speak when you u...it is easy to get burne out so to speak when you ush yourself too hard you don't get to enjoy what you like to do that way so you dserve to kick back and enjoy and take a break now and then besides it is getting toooo hot to be working outside anyhowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-84134199665248007142012-06-11T17:48:13.513-05:002012-06-11T17:48:13.513-05:00I know how you feel.
