Janice, I die everyday when I read your list of things to do. I can't even grasp all that you do in a day.
My hubby is going back to work today after his hip replacement. He wonderful at home helping around the house during his recovery but now it's time go back to work. He rarely started dinner before I came home so I won't be missing that but I will miss him being home when I get home from work. That's OK, I can handle it all.
We caught up on the laundry yesterday so maybe we can hold off until Saturday. We also keep up on the house cleaning so that's good too right now. We're teaching our college kids a bit about cooking so when they move into their apartments in August they can get by without take out. I do not want them ordering take out when they can make things at home. I taught my son to clean up after himself while cooking so that he doesn't have a pile of dirty dishes after dinner is done. Even something as simple as making rice (a seasoned rice with salsa and spices) using regular rice (not instant) can be done easily. So he made that last night after his class was done and hopefully he can now remember the ratio of rice to liquid. My daughter made risotto on Sunday night with instructions so now she can make rice also. Crockpots will be their friend this year too. All they really need is a saucepan, a skillet and a crockpot for cooking. Maybe a roasting pan too.
Tonight we're having hamburger BBQ on english muffins since I don't have buns. I think I'll toast them first though. Maybe a salad to go with it. I have nothing else. I don't think I can shop until Saturday. But Saturday they are closing our street all morning for festivities in our area and they have a 5K run and a parade.
