Yesterday's work for Ms. G included moving almost 400 pounds of cat litter.  She had found it on sale, so she stocked up.  We changed out all of the boxes and still had 8 of the 37 pound buckets to store for later.  Then i vacuumed and we started clearing out a closet.  To say i was sore and tired when i came home is an understatement.

Boudreaux, he know him 'bout dat hard work, too.  De day befo', he been out cleanin' an' rebuildin' de stuff dat done flooded a bit ago.  It done been a long job, an' Clothile been tellin' him he need get him some he'p.

Well, he come in from de work, an' he set him down in de chair, an' den Clothile hear him yell, "Owww!"  She come runnin' in an' ax, "Boudreaux!  What be wrong wit' you?"

An' Boudreaux he say, "Mais, you be right!  I need get me some he'p wit' de work.  You know you be serious hurtin' youse'f when it hurt to push de button on de remote!"
