There are things that stress other people, but energize me. I absolutely loved waiting tables for one summer in college. The more I had to run around and keep orders straight, the more fun I was having. At one temp job I handled a switchboard with constant incoming calls . . . LOVED it. Though outsiders watching the backstage pre-show craziness … [Read more...]
Looooong Day
Such a long day, filled with craziness and hour-away doctor appointments and farming out of three children. Definitely no progress to write about. House is pretty scary. Going to bed. Oh, did make bed this morning. That's it. … [Read more...]
Tackling the Scary Room
You probably think I'm talking about the infamous Master Bedroom. No, this time it's the playroom. The room I pretend doesn't exist. I have purged it again and again, and it does stay farther away from total disaster now, but somehow, there's always more that can go. Last weekend I decided to open the cabinet that never gets opened. It was a … [Read more...]
Plans, Schmans
I had such big plans for today. So many little projects that need to be done. Clean out the linen closet, changeover to summer clothes, blah blah blah and yada yada yada. But alas, plans rarely go as . . . well . . . planned.It probably wasn't a good sign that I remembered (at 7:11) that my son's school was having Muffins for … [Read more...]
So, Maybe I’m Not Martha . . .
Maybe I'm not Martha, but these things are awesome! I didn't make all of the things on my freezer cooking plan, but I did spend my Happening-Saturday-Night making these breakfast pockets, and they're the best ones I've made so far. I don't know if it made the difference, but I used bread flour this time, and they taste fabulous! When I was a … [Read more...]
My Decluttering Progress for April
I can't believe it's May. When I wrote the title for this post just now, I had to stop and think which month to write, because April just started, but I already had a post about March. Actually, April just ended. Wow. I did pretty well last month, moving steadily toward my garage sale. I was supposed to have already had it, but rain was … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Again, I regretted neglecting a menu plan last week. Even my kitchen seems to stay cleaner when I have a plan, and the reverse when I don't. Who knows how that works? And thinking about my menu now probably saved me a decent chunk of money. I have a roast in the fridge that needs to be cooked, and knowing my scatter-brained self, I'd forget … [Read more...]
More Freezer Cooking Plans!
I've done this for several months now, and I find it quite funny that just as hubby ran out of breakfast pockets, Money Saving Mom is doing another Freezer Cooking Days. So . . . um . . . obviously I'm doing more breakfast pockets. I made them with ham, eggs and cheese last time, but this time I bought some HOT breakfast sausage to use as the … [Read more...]
My Vacuum Cleaner’s New Frontier
It's Friday . . . so I dusted and vacuumed. In the past two months or so of this new Task-a-Day thing, I've developed a bit of a method for vacuuming my house.  Since all the main areas of the house have hardwood floors, I go through first with the broom and get the corners and edges swept out into the middle of the floor. Then I can vacuum … [Read more...]
