This year is flying by!
We have one more week of summer. Then the kids will be in school. Wow…

I’ve been going full speed since I woke up this morning. I have the soup on for dinner tonight. Now I need to make some soap and pick this week’s prize for the giveaway. And if there is time I might do some sewing!

This week’s menu:
Sunday – homemade potato soup (slow cooker)
Monday – leftover soup and sandwich
Tuesday – baked whole chicken, stuffing and veggie
Wednesday – taco rice (hamburger helper)
Thursday – takeout…
Friday – ffy (fend for yourself)
Saturday – beef stroganoff (slow cooker)

This week I’m thankful for my loyal customers. I now have enough money to replenish my box supply that I ship your orders in. Thank you!

Back to work I go!

Kiamesmommy has won!

Congrats! Please contact me with your name and address. Your prize will be mailed Monday. :)
Random.org chose the #26. Next week I'll get a screen shot (I just figured out how...).

I've switched up tonight's dinner. We'll be having grilled italian sausage with Panzanella salad ( http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Panzanella-Salad/Detail.aspx ) instead. I just moved tonight's dinner to Tuesday. ;)

Now I must get to work! September starts next week! Eeek!

I’m sitting here drinking my coffee, watching the Today show and enjoying the peace before my mini me’s awaken.
I’ve been busy making things. Hoping this afternoon is sunny so I can take pictures and get them listed. And I wish the humidity would just go away!
Today I have some cleaning to do… okay, I have a lot of cleaning to do. Being hindered by these surgeries is starting to make me a little ornery. My ever so understanding husband indulged my need to clean and rearrange the living room last night. (It’s just what he wanted to do after working nearly 12 hours, not.) I feel better though. ;)
Tonight I have another MRI to see if the disc is still bulging and why my leg might be stiffening up when I move.
Which brings me to dinner… do I make it early or wait and make everyone eat late? Hmmm…
Don’t forget to enter this week’s giveaway http://gazeduponglass.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-weeks-prize-and-contest-is.html !
Think I’ll crochet for just a bit before my household wakes up. Have a great day everyone!
