Back to Monday

I don't think it was possible for my weekend to have gotten any better, with the exception of going to church. Hubby had Saturday off. We spent the morning and early afternoon lounging around. I was up at 5:30 am to make cinnamon rolls, and let me tell you..... I can officially cross it off my list! They were a HUGE hit!!! We left Saturday afternoon to drop by the library, hit some thrift shoppes, yada yada . We drove by the bread outlet to verify that they were retail & open to the public. Now I know when I can stop by (they were 10 mins from closing and I wanted to wait til I had more time!). Otherwise I have a grossly busy week ahead of me. I am getting ready for the Superbowl Party/Keenan's 3rd B-day party/Surprise Party for My Daddy. Blessings to all!!!

Risin' risin' risin', keep that dough-y risin'....

RAWHIDE!!! Seriously though, I have my dough rising in the oven for cinnamon rolls. I PRAY they turn out. This'll be another thing I can cross off my 101 in 1001 list. I've been up since 5:30 this morning so I could get this started. The Hubba & I had a WONDERFUL evening last night. I got every blanket in the house, our pillows and our comforter and we camped out last night in front of the fireplace. It was SOOOOO relaxing and SOOOOO much f un. He was so upset. He forgot out "anniversary." But not our wedding one. Yesterday marked 5 years we've been together. I love him so much. Even when things are horribly rough. I didn't mention it y-day. I wanted to see if he remembered on his own & had I mentioned it y-day he might have seen it. LOL..... Canniving, aren't I? *giggle* Anyway, I've got my dough rising, sausage & bacon thawing, a Hubba still crashed out on the floor and I think I hear a child wandering around. Have a blessed day. And coun...

Changes, Days off and the power of pancakes

My wee baby Kee turns 3 today. Well actually he JUST d id! 10:40 am. It amazes me, to this day, how quickly they grow. He requested pancakes. So I added some toffee bits to them, made them "silver dollar," and they LOVED 'em!!! Tonight is a lovely dinner of..... ICE CREAM!!! Tomorrow my Hubba has a day off. So I've worked up a HUGE menu for brunch. We'll be having choice of bacon or sausage, hasbrown patties, eggs, choice of fruit or applesauce, and cinnamon rolls (one of his faves!). Now I've never made cinnamon rolls from scratch before, but I've been wanting to try and it's on my 101 in 1001 . So I'm crossing my fingers that they turn out well! As for changes, we've postponed Kee's party tomorrow. With Hubba working SOOOO much, he's sick, I'm sick, I decided it was just better that we postpone it. Since we've already planned on a Superbowl party, we decided we'd combine them. Then, on top of that, my Mu m has been trying ...

A small break

I have a lot to do the next couple days, partly in prep for Keenan's 3rd birthday (I canNOT believe how fast they grow- you'd think I'd be used to it). I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back on, but it is my goal to return no sooner than Friday evening. Could be next week, I 'm not sure at this point. We have a lot of homes chooling to do, including a couple of larger pr ojects (mentioned on the HS Blog. A house to be sure is spotless for guests, and a few othe r things going on. I hope a ll of you are bl essed.

TGFT!!!

Thank God for today! We had a wonderful weekend. The Hubba & I got to go out ON A DATE!!! WooHoo !!! Thnx SOOO much to my wonderful Mother-in-law!!! Thank you SOOOO much "J." We went to Houcks . I had grilled salmon and, onion strips & salad. The Hubba had a thick juicy steak, loaded baked tater & a salad. Then we stopped off at Cafe Med on the way home for a drink. The evening started out rocky, but ended up fabulously. He had to go into work Sunday, and I hated for him to go. We had a wonderful day whilst he was home and an AWESOME evening! I've missed he & I time!!! It's Monday and time to roll for the week. I have a dinner going in the crockpot - fajitas- YUM!!! Alongside I'll serve up tortillas, refried beans & spanish rice. I also have my lunch cooking- stuffed peppers & since I'm making rice, I'm making enough for dinner as well. Cook once, eat twice!!! Gotta LOVE that! On the agenda today is the ever-never ending lau...

Can you smell that?

Spaghetti sauce, simmerin' away..... 3 quarts of applesauce sealed successfully. Right now I am eating a snack of popcorn. The boys are watching cartoons as they eat theirs. 20 pounds of apples left in the fridge outside, 6 jarred cakes to bake and spaghetti sauce to can as soon as it is finished simmering. My life is good. The only thing missing is my Hubba Bubba who is at work. I am currently on IM with a friend who's friend lost a good friend (did you follow all that?). If you would keep Nikki & company in your prayers, we'd all appreciate it. The lady died right in front of her husband, unexpectedly. What a shock. Remember how precious your loved ones are to you and tell them that often. Live like it's your last breath, ALWAYS! I'm not doing my 10 blessings today. I think within my previous words, you KNOW my blessings, and yes, today they would be repetitive. Be blessed! Live!
