Slept well.....though could always use a few more hours.   Last night I got groceries and everything for the next week.   Was a bit more expensive since I have to have lunch for the kids as well.   I used the menu mailer again, but didn't buy the ingredients for one meal.   I knew we wouldn't lik it!

This morning we are going to church.  Josh will be comissioned for his mission trip to Warez, Mexico.   He leave on Friday night.  We have yet o start packing!  I guess we will have to get busy on that tomorrow.  I need to do laundry of course. 

So that is what I will be doing today:

QUICK COOKING  May/June 2004

AAAh....a day of antibiotics makes a difference that is for sure!!!   I slept well last night.  Tommy actually was able to sleep in his own bed for the night.    It is nice when he will do that occassionally.    Today I have a few commitments, but won't be going to them all since I am not feeling that great yet!   

Today we will go to the library and target for a birthday present.   In the afternoon we are going to our neighbor Noah's birthday party.  I have balanced my checkbook and I have enough money for groceries and a gift!!  Paul gets paid on Tuesday!  I hate that we don't get paid at the same time.   Oh well.....

Time to hit the shower and get ready to run errands!!   Have a great day!!

Home from my Dr's appointment with antibiotic (augmentin) and a refill on my pulmacort.   I hope to take it easy tonight and will feel better tomorrow!!  I need to get groceries at some point very soon!!  I still need to figure out what to feed anyone tonight...ARGH!!!  I can't wait until hubby comes home so I can go to bed and read the rest of the night. 

Home sick today.....

I stayed home from work to complete some things around the house today.  I am determined to have my basement straightened up by the end of the week.   I got about 3/4 of it done.  All I have left is to do the toy area!   That is a huge pile!!!

I don't plan on doing much else tonight, just relaxing!   My back is killing me!!!!  OUCH!!  I don't think I can do my appointments in the morning, it really isn't working well!  I think I will have to go back to after work again!  ARGH!!!   Otherwise I am in pain and have headaches all day instead of jsut all evening! 

Time to scott!  Chat at you later!!

I got home from work very late tonight.  I left my office at 4:30 and didn't make it to daycare until 6:00.  Argh...the traffic was terrible!!  I hope it isn't like that all week, otherwise I will have to flex my hours to make it to daycare in time.  

I made Onion Soup for supper, which was very good.   We all did our weekly cleaning.  My hubby is so great!  The minute he comes home he goes straight to doing his task of the week.  He had the bathrooms this week.   Josh Vacuumed and swept.  I had bedding/trash and mopping!  The house is clean for the week again!!   Which is nice since I am talking tomorrow off!    I need to spend some time getting things done in the basement before Erik moves in.   So the plan for tomorrow is to get up and go to the chiropractor and then clean, clean and laundry!! 

Well I am going to switch laundry around and head to bed!  Later!

I am recovering from a very busy weekend. We had my in-laws anniversary party on Sunday and I had church and church meetings in the morning. I was very busy. After the party everyone came to our hosue to visit. LOL! This was unplanned so the house was only sort
of clean, but good enough that I wasn't freaked out!
