Tuesdays (and Thursdays) are my "long" days. Chris is gone about 8-9 hours for his job and classes. Last Thursday the internet went out all day and I just had the hardest time coping! I never realized how much those little 5 and 10 minute YouTube breaks for the boys were saving my sanity. The boys were bored and keeping me on my toes, to the point where I had 8 contractions in half an hour. Yes, I ended up breaking down towards the end of the day and just crying because it was 4pm and I still hadn't had my lunch, Caleb just spilled some more food and there was broken glass in the sink.
Thankfully Chris spent some extra time on Monday night cleaning up the house so I have one less thing to worry about with the boys.
I'm hoping writing out what I need to cover tomorrow will help me not forget it so much! I think three times now my husband has reminded me that I'm supposed to do pizza. ;D
-cook noodles for the boys in the morning so I have "easy" food to feed them throughout the day.
-laundry... this is iffy, since it's supposed to rain some more. The load in the washer needs to be re-washed.
-make pizza, this should help keep Caleb's hands busy.
-load the thrift store stuff, didn't get to it Monday.
-check Logan's diapers a lot... we're missing when he poops (sometimes less than an hour apart) and he's got a horrible rash right now. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wished his poop had a smell! :o

Today I need to get caught up on laundry. Chad laid new carpet in my hallway yesterday. It looks really nice. Seeing how nice of a job he done, I am now considering having him lay carpet in my living room. But I've got to save for it first. :( We painted the kitchen over the weekend. And I want to paint my living room, too. We moved here almost a year ago. We used to live just right down the lane. I love it here. But it is a fixer upper. We've been doing all we can this year, but money is always needed to do more!
I would also like to make some pumpkin whoopie pies today! They look really good. I'm in the fall spirit, even though its going to be 94 in my neck of the woods today. I am so ready for cooler weather. When do you all start decorating for fall? I want to put some orange lights on my grapevine tree and around my porch. I cant wait to get pumpkins! I am going to get some mums this weekend. My nieces were selling candles and tarts for school. I bought some pumpkin and apple scents. Have I mentioned I just love fall? lol
You all have a great day!

Good morning!
I have several loads of laundry I need to do, some general straightening up around here, and I'd like to bake an applesauce cake.
I'm in the fall spirit too. In years past, I'd start fall decorating around the first of September. I haven't done any this year because it's been so hot and I haven't really been in the mood. I started cleaning up my front porch yesterday and I think I'll give everything a good scrub then maybe put out some decorations.
My daughter gave me a scentsy bar called Apple Press and it makes the house smell so good! That's probably why I'm wanting to make that applesauce cake! :)

Good morning another beautiful but hot day here in Alabama. Today is United Way Day Of Caring and the company I work for are big supporters, it is always such a blessing to get out in the community and lend a helping hand.
After work I have to go to the library to return some books and a little laundry and I should be done. It is veggie night at our house so easy peasy! :)
Have A Great Day!

Good Morning,
Yesterday I took care of my tomatoes, froze three pints of puree. Moved microwave with Tanya's help.
Had burgers and Eckrich sausage ready to go on the grill for when someone came home to do it.Can't carry things when your using crutches or a knee walker. Looking forward to being able to put weight on my foot, I don't like asking for help doing things.
Today I will vacuum the living room, put dishes away,write check out for taxes,their due on Mon, and I'm watching Aiden . That should keep me busy .
Enjoy your days
