Good kind of tired.

Last night wife and I were sitting in bed and we agreed we were tired, but the good kind of tired.
Got up Sunday, got ready, wrassled the young un to get him dressed, went to church.
Got home, fixed Sunday dinner and ate.
Went outside and got stuff together to mend fences. Cleaned out and replaced a section of fence a tree had gotten. A few new t posts, ran some new barbed wire.
Cleaned out the flower beds and burned a brush pile.
Changed the oil in the lawnmower.
Farrier came out and trimmed the horse and mule.
Neighbors walked over and our young un and their young un went straight for the mud hole / swamp.
Dark came, wife wrassled young un inside, I picked up toys for 15 minutes.
Wrassled young un into bath.
Ate a lite supper.
Wrassled young un into bed.
Wife and I went to bed, to tired to wrassle each other, but the good kind of tired.

That "Good kind of Tired" is what makes Life worth living. Enjoying all aspects of rural life is healthy and good for the Soul. Taking care of one's Family, leaves a person with a real sense and feeling of accomplishment and joy. Families that work and play together provide the fuel for a Loving atmosphere. Thanks for posting.

I totally agree. There is a good and a bad kind of tired. When I have spent all day talking to clients, explaining this or that, calling late paying clients, sitting in front of a computer with my ear to the phone, dealing with employees; I've had no physical exercise...THAT is a bad kind of tired! BUT, go to the field with the crew, look for some old corners, do some GPS work; mark some line, cut some brush, set some corner monuments, scribe a few witness trees, walk up and down a few hills....now that results in a GOOD tired. Also spending the day on a tractor or in the garden or splitting wood results in the same GOOD tired. It clears the mental cobwebs that accumulate during the days in the office.
Thanks for bringing this up!

Sounds like a busy day to make you tired, but I didn't read where you or your wife showered before bed. I'm hoping you just forgot to leave that part out.

I don't know why this is but at work during the week I tend to get tired in the afternoon if I haven't gone to the gym earlier in the day. But on weekends, after a long morning walk with the Mrs and the dog, we all need a nap by early afternoon.

The Mrs. says it's the fresh air we get with the walks....could be I guess.
