PS...I am not ignoring your comments

For some reason I can sign in to post but when I try to reply to posts it won't let me sign in. Gonna have to have tech support (ie the hubby) check it out for me when he gets a spare moment!!

Another Day, Another Day full of housework planned......

Today is shaping up to be just as busy as yesterday.

I was able to wash and hang out 4 loads of laundry yesterday, as well as wash and dry inside 2 loads.

I paid bills.

I did 2 loads of dishes in the dishwasher.

I started cleaning out the boys room, ugh seriously, what a mess. Today more work will be done in there. I can't believe they let it get so bad. I have totes for toys but everything is mixed up and tossed about, ugh, BOYS!!!!

I need to clean out the fridge.

I need to gather up and take away the trash today.

I also need to water the garden.

SO MUCH TO DO, and only 1 me!! I swear the more I clean up and try to organize the more they mess up in another room.

Such is the season of my life right now!!

Not sure about dinner, I am thinking Beef and Veggie Stirfry, I need to see what I have in the freezer. With so much that needs doing around here I am really trying not to have to go to town.

Have a great day!!

Monday Monday!! 6/6/2011

Today is a busy day for us!!

I have laundry to do, and the house to pick up from the weekend.

I've got the windows open, and the ceiling fans on to circulate the air. Its going to heat up fast today, but thats ok, trying to save on the electric bill some. I'll need to close up shop and turn the air back on before dh gets home. He does not like to be hot when he is home relaxing from work!! I can't say I blame him either, plus it makes sleeping more comfortable.

Not sure what I am going to do about dinner tonight, we have several options of things I can make without having to go to the store, but hmm we will have to see what I have a taste for later on this afternoon.

I'll post a menu later.

Have a great day!!

The Garden is IN!! and PIE Day!!

Just stopping in really quick to post, before my busy busy day!!

The garden is in, well mostly, I still have a couple rows that are empty and well I just can't leave that be so something will be going into them soon!!

I've got pics of all my happy helpers in the garden, and I will post them soon, maybe tonight!!

Yesterday for me was pie day. Originally I had planned to hang out with my friend Tiffani, but I postponed due to the fact that my oldest is still in school and is feeling alittle leftout as of late, his brother is finished with preschool over a week ago and now is able to go do things with me during the day and my oldest is feeling way leftout. Not that I am normally doing anything glamorous but I guess time with mom is still time with mom no matter what we're doing. So instead of hanging out with Tiffani and her cutie patootie little girl Phoebe, I baked pies and cakes for the church dinner being held this evening.
Totally a good thing I postponed becuase seriously I didn't finish baking until like 8 pm last night and I baked all day long.
In total I baked 3 cakes, and 7 pies. My mom came over to use my oven since hers is out of commission and 1 of the cakes was hers, as was 2 of the pies. My cakes were boxed I admit but my pies were all home made from scratch. EVEN the pumpkin I used for the 3 pumpkin pies, I had the puree in the freezer from a pumkin I harvested a while back.
Lots of work to be sure but it is definately going to a good cause!!
Pics to follow of the finished products too!!

Ok gotta go, lots and lots to do!!
Have a great day!!

The garden is going in.....Tonight!!

Made a trip to the feed mill today, and picked up my green bean seed. Lord I pray I bought enough.I am only doing 2 rows of beans, I hope they produce like crazy and I can replenish what we have eaten because I am down to less than 10 quarts of home canned beans and my 2 youngest children are green bean eating machines!!

I think it was a big mistake not to grow any last year.

I think I need a bigger garden.

So far in our garden we plan to have:

Green beans
Tomatoes
Green Peppers
Cayenne Peppers
Tabasco Peppers-new to me this year- hoping to make hot pepper vinegar
Brussells Sprouts- new for me this year as an experiment
Cucumbers
Cantelope
Watermelon

I hope the garden does well and we will have lots to can up for winter use.
