My husband really loves me!!
I heard the temperature was suposed to be 104* yesterday. People I'm tellin ya that is HOT!!
And what did my honey do???
He tilled my garden. He is still recovering from pneumonia as well, he's amazing!!
First we went to a local nursery to get my garden plants, how dissapointed was I that they weren't on 50% off sale as they were in previous years but alas we had to get them anyway, or there would be no garden.
Then we came home and I watered everything really well and dh set out to till the garden, he tilled about 1/2 then came in looking like he was ready to pop, he was red all over and super sweaty, so he stayed in for the remainder of the day then after dinner finished up the tilling. He told me to wait till tonight and we will put the garden in!!
Also I guess the garden decided to start without me, lol because when dh went down to do the tilling, we had potatoes up from last year and the onions I knew were down there had already started going to seed, so I grabbed a basket and went to pulling up the onions and believe it or not I got a bushel basket of onions. I am going to pull the seed tops off, replant those and then work through the onions to see whats salvageable, they are all really firm and I called my pap and he said to plant the tops and eat the onions lol, so I think we will!!

Girls Night OUT!!!
So I am super excited!!! I haven't been out with my friends for a girls night out since before Kara was walking!!
I have alot of things to accomplish today to be able to get out tonight and enjoy being out with friends and not feel my housework tugging at me to get home.
Does that ever happen to you??
On my list of to-dos for today is to give the house a once over- straighten what needs straightening, sweep, collect trash etc etc.
I need to finish up bagging up the strawberries I picked earlier this week. I am almost done with that though so no biggie.
I have paper work for cubscouts that must be completed and sent off today-thats a project for nap time
Bills need to be paid and sent out in the mail- another project for nap time
Dinner preps- HM Pizza is on the menu for tonight so I will get them already then daddy will just need to pop them into the oven come dinner time.
Ok I better get going, lots to do, little time to get it done!!
Have a great day!!

The plan for today...5/20/11
Is pretty much the same plan I have every friday... and that is to make sure everything is caught up so that we have a relaxing stress free weekend. I don't think we will get much of that resting part but at least everything should be caught up and maybe after projects are done we can relax and enjoy the weekend.
My plan for the weekend is to do a big grocery shop, I think dh's plan for the weekend is to put down the linoleum in my mom's kitchen. Cross your fingers that she gets the painting done today and then they can go tonight to pick up the linoleum.
I would love to work on that jean skirt experiment that I have going on but we will see if time permits.
There is always SO much I want to get done but the reality is with 3 kiddos there is only so much you CAN get done and ya know I am ok with that.
Dinner tonight is Chicken, Alfredo noodles and Broccolli
Have a blessed day!!

Finding time....
Oh today is a busy day for us for sure!!
My oldest will be staying home from school, he's still not feeling well and I will be taking him to the dr today.
My youngest son is going to preschool, and I do plan on meeting up with a couple friends today to swap coupons but we will see how it goes.
Other than that its a normal day for us. Housework, meal preps, same old same old!!
Dinner tonight is leftover rice from last night made into Shrimp and (lots of) Veggies fried rice. I think dh may pick up some egg rolls from a local place on his way home, maybe.
I also need to work on finalizing my grocery list and going over and matching coupons to sale items because I have my big grocery shop coming up this weekend and I want to be sure I am getting the most for my money. The grocery bill is one place where it falls to me to be watchful of our spending and its very easy to let the spending get out of hand where groceries are concerned but I hope to do well with coupons and sales!!
I hope you have a great day!!

Hmmm.....Wednesday 5/18/2011
Today has been a busy day at home for me...except when I had to go get my oldest from school because he is feeling bad and has a fever.
We came home from picking him up and he went straight to the couch, I gave him some meds and I started laundry and tea and unloaded the dishwasher and reloaded it and got it going.
I made lunch and make a second pot of tea, the first was for ice tea for us, the second was for iced tea my mom. I also have her dinner packed and ready to go. I thought she was coming by to pick it all up on her way home from town but I haven't seen anything of her yet.
I have all but the last 2 loads of laundry washed, dried and folded, the last two are in the washer and dryer. I need to get it finished up so I can get everything put away before dh gets home.
Dinner needs to be started soon too, I still need to straighten up the house a bit and sweep. But that is pretty much my day.
Dinner tonight is Italian Sausage with onions and green peppers over rice.
Hope you've had a great day!!

Babysitting the oven...an update
White bread...done
Cinnamon Swirl Bread...done
Chocolate Chip Cookies...in process :)
Right now I am babysitting the oven, I've finished the bread and have moved on to the cookies. I can't go far from the oven so I guess I will focus on making sure the kitchen is nice and straight while I am babysitting the oven.
I've unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher after lunch, I need to clean off the table and put the dishes that are in the dishdrainer away, sweep and make sure everything is tidy. I also need to check on drinks and make sure we have tea, koolaid and lemonade or I'll need to make some.
I hope to have time for hand pies, the jury is still out on that one!!
Just keeping busy!!
