I'm feeling rather productive today

  • Girls off to school
  • Straightened up the house (that means beds made and a clean sink)
  • post office to buy a million stamps for Christmas cards
  • Sears to buy an overly priced filter for my fridge
  • Library to return some books that have been sitting in my house forever
  • WalMart to buy some food and other necessities
  • Little People play time with a certain 3 year old
  • Stamp time with that same 3 year old
  • Meatballs and tomato sauce cooking on the stove
  • Made ... Rice Krispie Treats that are looking oh so yummy on my countertop
    Now I am enjoying a little down time (computer time ... wink, wink) before the afternoon chaos starts in my house.

At least I have dinner mostly prepared.  YAY!

I just love days like this...dinner, playtime, cleaning, shopping.

There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment when things align and there's no frantic running around.

blessings.

I love the feeling of having dinner cooking in the crockpot, especially on busy days when you know you won't have time to fix anything.
Enjoy your Rice Krispy treats!

Sounds like a wonderful day, especially having dinner done early.

Today was a crazy running day for me but tomorrow has the potential of being productive...if I choose to make it that way. ;)

Isn't it funny how some days, everything seems to fall into place, and other days it seems like a miracle if you even get the beds made?

Glad you had one of the GOOD ones!

Oooh, sounds like a great Monday...what a way to start your week...but your mention of the trip to the post office stressed me out a bit! Don't tell me you've already got your cards done????!!! It's okay if you do...I promise I'll still love you...I'll be jealous, but I'll still love you! :)


And I'm sure your family loved your meatballs - delish! What a good Mommy and Wife you are!

Wow -- you certainly have had a productive day! I am hoping to have a list like that done tomorrow :-)

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Our neighbor's son is on the US Ski Team too. What is your nephew's name? Our friends son is Erik Fisher. Small world. ;)

Good job! And I love that photo of the girls in the corn field. I am so jealous of the way you dress them all alike...always wanted to do that!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
