Has it really been this long since I’ve updated?????
Ok, I shall work on being a better blogger!
We have been sooooooo busy here!
All of our Easter traditions and activities….
Church activities……
Birthdays……
Too many colds and sore throats to count…..
One case of shingles…..
Three cases of chicken pox……
Garden work……
Animals…….
School work…..
House work….
And the NEVER ENDING laundry!!!

But I’m back!!!

Yes, I know that today is actually Saturday. But to me, it’s Friday.

Since we were out most of the day yesterday, errands, etc. I didn’t get to do the weekly cleaning that I usually do on Fridays. So I’m doing it today. Which makes today Friday.

Now that I have the day of the week cleared up…….

I’m almost done with the weeklies, I just have to edge vacuum and clean out the furniture in the living room, and I’m done. Since the kids are watching TBN they won’t take kindly to my running the vacuum. So I’ll have to do that later. I also have 2 loads of laundry on the line, and the quilt that we use to cover the couch is in the washer waiting to be hung.

It has turned out to be a nice day today. Sunny and the wind is blowing, a nice laundry day. 🙂

Since I almost have all my work done, and the kids are occupied, I’m going to go play a game of Upwords with D.

Since it’s Friday, lol, I hope to be back later with my Frugal Friday tip.

No, wait! Please don’t go away rain! We do need you!
Yep, it’s raining! Has been for most of the day. Thankfully, it doesn’t take very long to take care of the animals. And thankfully, I have this supersized rain coat, that paired with my water boots, keeps me nice and dry!

Yesterday, on the other hand, was warm and sunny. I did 5 loads of laundry, including drying them on the line! There were a few damp waistbands, but on the whole it all dried! Which an amazing feat in January! And tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny also! Clothesline here I come!

Why so much laundry, you ask? Well, last week was extremely cold, as in single digit temps! So very little laundry got done. Plus, They were giving away clothes at church on Sunday. And we got a very large pile of clothes. D even found a pair of jeans for work, which he needs very badly. So I am thankful! He also got a pair of bib overalls. hehehehe So now he’s all set for spring farm chores. lol

So just the usual sort of things going on around here. Lots of schoolwork, housework, laundry, animals, etc. etc. etc. I am in the process of moving my scrapbook desk. It’s been so long since I scrapbooked, I can’t even remember how long!, that my desk is piled high with all the stuff I should be scrapbooking. Now, it’s a big project to clean it off and move it. sigh…..

I also have some other things in the works. Like sewing things to sell, and making things to sell. But I’ll wait and share that when there ready to sell. 🙂

Well, I suppose I should get back to work. I need to go bottle the laundry soap that I made yesterday. And my ironing pile is getting taller every second!

yes….again…

is this cryptic? yes….

I have lots and lots of sewing to do. I’m altering the costumes for the 5th grade and under play at church. Over 30 costumes. The fabric is one of those horrid nylon fabrics that is a bear to work with. But I’m getting through it. I prayed first, so it’s going pretty smoothly. 🙂
There has been so much going on, that I don’t even know what to blog about! lol
Errands galore, shopping, saving LOTS of money, piano recital, LOTS of play pratices, a birthday to get ready for (Saturday), a party to get ready for at church (Sunday), the last piano lesson until the end of January! YEAH!,
the last Bible Drill class until January 6th, except for Sunday’s party, (We will miss Bible Drill!), LOTS of rain and mud, and cleaning out of the creek of leaves and sticks so it will actually flow (yes, by me)(The leaves and sticks get stuck in the goat fence, and dam up the creek) school is on Christmas vacation YEAH!, chickens who stopped laying, and having to pay a small fortune for inferior eggs at the store, 🙁
Ok, well, you get the idea, very busy with lots going on! But for now, I better get back to sewing!
