Yes, the phone rang while I was in the shower too. I hope your mom took the kids so you had some time alone. Yes, I could use a good tarter sauce recipe if you have one. 1. Another rainy day here. 2. I am washing already. 3. Need to clean the house sometime this week.
Kris: tarter sauce-- mayo(depends on how much you want to make) some sweet relish, finelly diced onion, lemon juice (just a little) dill weed, parsley flakes, dash of season salt. --I use my mini chopper to do the onion and or pickles if I don't have rellish then add everything else and zap a few seconds and its done! So good with fries or onion rings! 1) my mom did pick up the kids and went to see a movie. in the mean time DH and I RAN as fast as we can to get christmas presents. 2) My DS got up at 3:45 this morning to watch cartoons, I promptly sent him back to bed! 2)I'm glad we have some presents under the tree, even if they are all from my dad (Papaw to them)--but we did get a good deal on PJ's from us.
We don't have any presents under the tree yet. A few stashed in closets, but none wrapped and under the tree. 1. My dd8 lost another tooth yesterday...Hooray!! 2. We do the "Tooth Fairy", but not Santa. Weird, huh? 3. Wooohooo!!! The Dallas Cowboys just made an awesome first touchdown of tonight's game!! I like watching pro-football.
We have presents stashed at my dads and up in the attic. 1. Tomorrow I finish Christmas shopping. 2. No school tomorrow - dgs staying at mil's and dgd going with me. 3. Ate too much sugar today, candy, cake, pie.
I hope we finish shopping tomorrow too! We're really basically done, just need some stocking stuffers mostly. 1. The kids had a fun time shopping for presents for each other! 2. Our ornament/cookie exchange went very well! dd9 and I had a great time! 3. I'm reading "The Caroline Years" of the Little House type books. I like them!
WOW! I need to look for those books sound wonderful. My dd's love shopping for each other too. 1. I made brisket tonight for supper 2. We went to the beach today. It was damp and cool and cloudy but fun. 3. I gave my puppy a bath tonight
Kris, that's meat, right? What is it (brisket)? Being a vegetarian, I don't know some of these things. 1. My ds did well on the PSAT test (we just got the results back). He is the one that wanted to try it, so we let him. 2. I have that weird neck down to shoulderblade ache again! (Hey Kris, how's your toe? I know, kind of off the wall, but I just thought of it) 3. I did better with my exercise and water drinking goals last week!
Yes, Deena, brisket is meat. My toe is alot better. I have that neck pain too. 1. I put a pot roast in slow cooker for tonight. 2. I called my MIL this morning. 3. I am watching the animals on the cam
Oops I posted same time as you so I will add that I was thinking about putting a crock pot roast in for tonight too! but I forgot to take it out of the freezer! I did better with my exersises this week too! I am walking a mile or two a day, to increase as the weather is good or decreast when bad though... Deena this may sound weird but masage your underarm on that side and it will releave some fo the pain.... 1. It is foggy here this morning after rainy weekend I hope theres no black ice! 2. We have two plays this week and I am not in either! yeah! 3. My shoulder is not happy with me this morning either...
I woke up a little grumpy this morning, I hope things can change. 1) I went shopping with my mom yesterday and came home and wrapped a bunch of presents, but need to wrap more that are being stored at my mom's house. 2) I just made hot orange spice tea, its too hot to drink right now. 3) Dinner tonight is between meatloaf and corned beef.
while it wasn't foggy here at us, it did rain hard..and i got wet and cold from it... 1. i'm starting to feel the effects of m lack of sleep and tiredness.. 2. my camera broke down, so i have to have it repaired before Christmas... 3. talked to a distant, old time friend and caught up with each other... i passed by the park today, and glad to see it has Christmas decor and lights up...
I'm definitely suffering the effects of my lack of sleep and tiredness too. 1.We attended an ice skating recital tonight ( to give my dd8 an idea of what her first ice skating recital on Friday will entail). 2. I would love to sleep for 3 days straight. 3. My dd8 seems to be getting my sniffles.
I would love to sleep for a while too and my older daughter is finally getting over her "CRUD" 1. We are going to the library in the morning 2. We bought new ornaments for each of our kids last night 3. My son Bobby goes for an interview for his first job on Monday
We got ornaments for our kids too. Well, every year they pick a new ornament to put on the tree and go in their "stash". ds15 has quite a few now! There won't be any room for his wife's things by the time he gets married! 1. Still have that pain in my neck (No, I am not a pain in the neck---I hope!) 2. My mom is going to try my fresh pumpkin pie recipe! Hope it works for her! 3. Hope I sleep well tonight, I'm tired!
sleep? whats that? Oh thats the thing Iget next week! This week is too busy! 1. We have practice for two plays each day! (ds15 has his during school then after school, and will have play fri and sat. and ds9 and dd have the play every night after tonight!) 2. I am enjoying not being in the play, but feel like I should be doing something! 3. I have a hard time not taking charge of things!
We have finished with our play and have one more concert to go and we will be done! 1. I need to go Christmas shopping again. 2. We go do the Charlotte's Web reading today at the library. 3. Our homeschool group is collecting items for a family whose house just burned down.
Sloan, that is such a nice thing your homeschool group is doing for that family. 1) I just won a cookbook on CD 2) I'm making fired chicken for dinner 3) my son made me eggo waffles for breakfast (they are his favorite) my daughter brought me juice.
I am going to the library today, and I like eggos? Close enough? hehe 1. I really enjoyed my Bible reading today! 2. I have not mailed out my packages yet! 3. I don't have to cook dinner untill Saturday! ( they are providing it for us at the play!)
