Today I was going to build a raised berry bed surrounded by chicken wire (so Jude wouldnt eat the plants!) next to the mini barn. Well, I got everything I needed, but I havent got it built yet!

I went to Home Depot today (thats where I work hehe) and bought plants (2 Ebony King blackberry, 2 kinds of raspberry [yellow and black] and 2 kinds of blueberry [Jersey and Bluecrop]) lumber, fencing, stakes, and went to Menards for some screws (they had em cheaper). I put a stake in the back corner of the shed, and attatched a board to it. Then I was about to attach the next board when I realized the first board was a 5 footer instead of the 4 footer I was supposed to use (ARGH). So I pulled the stake (and board with it) out adn set it aside. The screws were giving me hell too. I had to pre-drill a hole. Then I put the screw in, but the screw was longer than the hole, so the head got stripped cause the d***ed screw wouldnt go in by itself! So I went inside to get some shorter screws out of moms junk box, but by that time I was so tired of fighting with the wood and the screws that I just lay down on the floor for about 10 mins, then picked myself back up, went outside, put everything away and went in and took a 1.5 hour nap.
Whew...

Neither wonder you were tired Jen after all that!!. Never mind there's always tomorrow and I'm sure everything will work out fine after a good nights sleep.
