Hi Pam.
Sounds like you have a full day planned today!
Got up this morning to the dog having gotten sick all over both the main floor and the upstairs.
She either ate some "people food" that didn't agree with her or found something around the farm while she was outside. Sprung for the expensive, prescription grade, allergen free, dog food for her and it evidently isn't good enough.
So got that wiped up, but will still need to mop, pretty much the entire house, with vinegar water all that this afternoon. Hoping I can get a little help with that.
Other than that we are very deep in school everyday now. Lots of learning going on around here! Loving to see them learn and progress.
I actually have over half of the laundry done for the day already. Thinking on dinner already and nothing sounds good.
Pam, the menu planning thing is a mystery to me. I mean I watch people explain how they make theirs and it just never works for me. Yesterday I decided to make a huge list of every food item we every buy and then designated a letter beside it so I could tell where we bought each item. Now I need to regroup them based on where they are bought and type them out. This makes shopping easier, but not meal planning.
Maybe I am just meant to fly by the seat of my pants right now. I guess that is good for me in some areas, since I tend to over-plan EVERYTHING. If I am organized and over-plan, it cuts down on anxiety for me. I think I might be able to follow a meal plan if I have a bunch of freezer meals cooked and labeled, but that is probably the only way. I guess I miss the point in it, because what if you don't feel like eating what is on your menu plan that day? I never know what I will feel like eating.
Today it is warming up again back up into the mid 80's or so, but it is terribly muddy from the rain we got yesterday, so we probably won't get outside, unless it is out in the greenhouse to work a bit. That really does need to be done. We have some compost tumblers that need to be emptied into the plant bed so they can set for a while before anything is planted in them.
Looks like I will be adding something else to my plate. We recently expanded the housing business and I now will be the one keeping up with the administrative end of it. Shouldn't be to difficult though because hubby found a computer program for me to keep it all straight.
This weekend is supposed to be warm and sunny again, so I will hope to get out with the horses all weekend. Sorry if I bore you guys with all the talk about our horses, but this rodeo girl would ride everyday if it was possible!
The kids seem to have horsin' in them as well, because they seem to love it. One day I would like to pro rodeo again and fully intend to! It is a sport with no age limit, because the number one rider in the sport is almost 70 and boy is she something to watch!
The kids said when they get good enough they would like to compete in the horse shows, so it is something our family could do together.
Well I just keep rambling on about this and that today with really no point to any of it. I will get off here and back to what I need to be doing with the rest of the day. Pam, I really wish some of our other friends would stop by again as well. With the few of us on here now, we might as well just call each other.
