Do-it-yourself(er)

I'm not even sure that title I just used is actually a word, do-it-yourself(er), well there is no red line underneath it so I guess I'm safe.  I love fixing things around the house and pretty much just maintaining our house.  Do I have the time to do this? No.  Today I got up early, showered and dressed before my daughter woke up so I would have time to do a few things when she went down for her morning nap.  These things include: Fixing her play set in the back yard (I had to put two screws in, I know, HUGE!), trimming the bushes and weeding outside, raking up said weeds and leaves leftover from one of the past winters here in Texas and oh yes, removing caulking and re-caulking the shower.  I got the play set fixed and then for some reason I decided to tackle the shower caulking job.  WHYYYYYYY?  Talk about opening a can of worms, I had no idea.  First of all, should I even be holding a razor that size to cut out the old caulking?  I'm ok with it, but the more I work with it the more I feel how sore my back and legs are from soccer yesterday (10-1 win!! woo hoo).  Am I supposed to be laying on the outside of the shower and working upside down?  The shower isn't that big and it's still wet, I probably should have dried it first.  This is just a small sample of how my do-it-yourself projects go.  I usually start something then realize, oh, I should do that too!  Which is why I'm sitting here typing a blog for my class.  Is that called ADD?  Suffice it to say I'll be making a trip to Home Depot or Lowe's when my daughter wakes up to ask someone how I should be trying to tackle this project which is what I should have done in the first place!  Stay tuned for more attempts at my do-it-yourself projects, the dryer vent on the roof needs cleaning too!
