Search Results for: owlyesterday i figured out that there were 25 days till school starts.
then i figured out there were 25 (reasonable) things still left on this list!
weird.
we had better get working.
we are down to 24 now.
melissa (my virtual bff) featured me on her blog.
seriously so sweet of her.
i am honored.
i love all the features she’s had recently about new home vs. old homes.
thanks you SO MUCH for all the kind comments loving on my bathroom.
i am trying (slowly…you know i have that list to get to) to go to each link.
thanks for making my week!
and i forgot to mention…
the bathroom is definitely NO KIDS ALLOWED.
i told them they could use the bathtub on their birthday.
after 13 years of bathroom sharing
i think this is a reasonable line to draw.
we are even considering putting a lock on the door with a pin code.
i’m not kidding.
although during my first bath annie found me and she sweetly asked
“is der wooom foe me in der?”
i couldn’t say no.
my laundry room has no heat or air.
and it’s teeny tiny. (not complaining just stating the facts)
when i get busy (or lazy) i end up with so much dirty laundry
i can barely move without falling down.
i literally stand on the mountain of dirty clothes.
then it’s so hot…i sweat like crazy folding it in the laundry room.
so we brought it all out last night and made everyone fold till it was finished.
they hated it so much that we decided it is the new monday night chore!
monday night will now be laundry folding night.
a family affair.
teamwork.
done in 10 minutes instead of mom sweating away all alone.
great idea craig!
okay…
i have to quit blogging so i can get school enrollment forms done.
they are due tomorrow.
and then i have to pick something off the list to get checked off.
24 days to go.
i am feeling grateful. i missed this all around me…livestock and crops and farms. in chicago i remember seeing the guy shouting religious things never saw this in chicago parking lots… i can’t recall goats at preschool in chicago either. i know it’s not for everyone of course. here are some other random things i am grateful for… happy spaces for toys and books. licking brownie batter from the bowl…i do it too. our bird, sunlight. sam’s club…getting stocked up. family dinners. and spring bursting out. what are you happy and grateful for today? what to do on a snow day? 3. wake up slowly by reading email and checking blogs. 7. clean out the bath toys (throw away half)…. 14. run my bath and discover my daughter has used all my bubble bath. 17. take a long time getting dressed & drying hair… 19. remember the valentines i bought 2 weeks ago. 22. continue day with same old stuff…washing loads laundry in my note: i am not complaining about this crazy life. today the plumber had to come and work on the drain. now i have to clean the tub again. ***************************************************************** today my heart felt full. the sun was shining! super bowl parties are fun. i took annie with me to this antique store. then he showed her the cuckoo clocks. these were there. lauren has a ball game today. annie is really good at memory. and this isn’t really a happy thing… and this was the picture lauren took of me at the super bowl party. which reminds me… i hesitated posting this recipe gather your ingredients. you start by melting the butter in the water add in the flour all at once. remove from heat and let stand five minutes. place in a mixing bowl now you will have a thick yellow batter. spread it in a 9 x 13 pan. place it in a preheated oven (400) when you open your oven in 20 minutes… for the filling… fold in 2 cups whipped topping. spread the pudding mixture on top of the beautiful golden brown crust. after time in the refrigerator now for the topping. place a small ziploc bag over a glass ENJOY! craig loves this dessert. *recipe in the sidebar. i took the morning off. luxury to me. i slowly looked through these books. the rest of my day was a breeze… i baked. i arranged flowers. name that movie…. look how cute the gerbera daisies are all cozy in their hairnets. i brought color back to the kitchen scott remains healthy. not that craig is anything like this… every time i make these so gather your ingredients…mostly generic is my preference. cut up your chicken use your blender to mix the salsa, water and half the sour cream. pour about a cup of the green sauce into your 9×13 pan then warm up your tortillas…to help them bend easier… fill them all and it will look all sweet and snug like this. pour the remaining sauce over the entire pan. totally off the subject… take it out of the oven when all your friends are standing in the kitchen even though it’s full of sour cream….i always serve this with sour cream on the side too.
