My Husband Called & Said Don't Go Out In The Storm, but...

I couldn't help but laugh when my husband called and said not to go out in the storm.  It was already hailing at our house.  Why on the earth would I need to be reminded to not go out in a hail storm?  Well...

Sometimes I don't use the best judgment. However, I did wait until the first round of hail stopped, well, almost stopped before I went out and took some photos...

My favorite bird's nest was completely full!  And then...it began to really hail!  Back in I went, and straight to the basement.  The second round was seriously loud and the hailstones were about golf ball size! 

I surveyed the damage to the house when this round ended.  Our siding is pretty beat up.  I didn't stay out too long; you never know how big the next hailstone might be...  I stayed out just long enough to collect some proof for the freezer...  I guess distractions come in all forms.  This one was pretty exciting, but I expect it will be expensive in the end.

What kind of severe weather do you have?  Does is scare you, excite you, or inspire you?

Daily Distractions… (in random order)

1. Landscaping…The snow finally melted, the grass is turning green, and the beds all need to be reshaped and mulched.

2. Dust…I swear a dust fairy lives in my house. I can dust one day and the next day there is another layer of dust sprinkled over my tables and shelves.

3. Social Networking…We’re supposed to blog, tweet, fb etc…to build a platform, but it takes time to do all of those things.

4. Friends…Yes, I do actually have a few friends. Oddly enough they all seem to want to go out for lunch on the same week.

5. Dog…Macy’s trying to lose the weight she put on this winter and wants to go for a walk every day.

6. Query Quandary…Who should I send my work to next? What should I send them? This leads to another distraction…mailbox/email checking.

7. Weather…It’s so nice you work outside, then it storms and BAM you’re out of the mood.

8. TV…I’m a reality TV junkie. Seriously, it’s a problem.

9. Food…You’ve got to buy it or grown it, you’ve got to plan meals, then you’ve got to cook meals and my least favorite chore…clean up afterwards.

10. Gym and Post Gym Naps…I’ve reduced my gym time to two hours a day which reduced my post work out nap, drastically.

What are your distractions? What are your goals for this week?
