Yesterday we moved another truck of sand and weed-eated the area that has overgrown around the boulders.  We have one last truck load of sand and then that half of the yard is done with the sand moving.  Dh finally agreed with me that we need to pull the apple tree that is sick so I am hoping the boys will do that this afternoon but I think we are all just dragging.  It is already noon and I really haven't started my day and neither have the kids (one still in pj's and it isn't me LOL).  Nobody wants to cook or clean or study or dig and we are even too tired to nap.  My coffee isn't kicking in and my house is a wreck.  I reaaalllly don't want to go grocery shop with the boys but it is nearing desperate in the food department.

Somebody please send me some motivation or maybe it is energy I need because even though I'm tired, it isn't tired like that -- I'm just tired of being the pusher, motivator, cheerleader, drill Sergeant, only one DOING because the boys aren't right there along side me, encouraging me or one another and I just don't wanna DO anything.  And unfortunately, doing nothing isn't an option today.  The wreck I have made of the house has to get done.  The yard has to get done.  The groceries have to be bought or else vacation time in a couple of weeks will come and go without us doing anything fun.  Anybody have a motivation pill I can take?
