Pioneer Woman

Okay, so maybe not a full-fledged pioneer woman, but I did feel a little like it this afternoon as Logan and I hauled firewood from the land behind our house.  It really wasn't bad, in fact, it was pretty okay and it brought back memories of when I used to help my Dad when he'd go cut firewood.  I used to help him load and then stack the firewood.  Logan worked hard and split the bigger wood and did most of the hauling.  I did take a couple of loads and one interesting thing I discovered was how fast a loaded wheelbarrow of firewood wants to go when you start down a steep hill!  :)

It's been quite a day altogether!  Up at about 5:15am, out the door by 6:30, off to the gym on campus then to work by 7:30am, and a full day at work - busy, busy, busy - then back to the gym, and off to pick up Logan, meet a friend to pick up notes he let her borrow, home and the myriad of chores - firewood, eggs (actually Logan gathered them and I washed them), laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning up Chip's accidents (he was close to the puppy pad), supper (Adrian's working late, so just toasted cheese sandwhiches for Logan), and probably a few other things I can't remember...oh, and Logan and I trying to get the fire going...it had gone out and we tag-teamed trying to build it up again.  So, all in all, a good day's work!  Guess I'd better finish this up, so I can go get another load of clothes out of the dryer!  :)
