Failing To Get Ahead

This has been one of those weekends. Anytime I start to do something ex. tackle the gigantic pile of dishes in the kitchen, something else comes up.

I took the boys out on Saturday to run to Dollar General for kitty litter ( I really need to keep that in stock), and to go to the post office to mail bills. After shopping we headed home, it was Dylan’s nap time. I got Dylan down for a nap, and I started to clean the litter box. I’m cleaning out the litter box, and elbows deep in ickiness, when the phone rings. Its my mom-in-law, and they will be there in thirty minutes.

The house was a mess, and I wasn’t quite ready to entertain guests. Hurricane Thade had been doing his part to keep me busy in tiding up this weekend. I did a quick clean of the living room, and the dining room. I hoped that they would stay out of the kitchen and not see the gigantic pile of dishes that needed to be washed. They stayed a few hours.  It was a super long day, and I’m still playing catch up today.

Great Freebie

Yesterday in the mail I received a coupon for a free 18 oz. jar of Peter Pan Peanut Butter. I was super happy to receive this freebie. I have to admit I was bummed when my favorite brand was no where to be found (Peter Pan Honey Roasted). My PB&J’s, or PB&N’s haven’t been the same for months.

I have been snacking on Skippy Natural, which is pretty close, and really tasty too. Have you switched or tried new brands of Peanut Butter? Any favorites?

I’m going shopping soon, and taking my coupon with me 😉

Oh I need a Shower

This morning after nursing Dylan for the fourth time, I was promptly spit up on again. It was time for a diaper change. I took Dylan over to the changing table, and half-awake got the dirty diaper off, grabbed for a clean one, and heard Dylan laugh. He had peed all over me, the table, and himself. I grabbed a few burp cloths, and cleaned up the mess. I picked up a new diaper, and before I could get it closed, again he is giggling, and peeing all over the table. I scooped up the baby, and headed in to the bathroom for a towel, and to get him clean. Continue reading »

Stocking up the Snacks

My darling hubby James is off work until Monday. With him home I need to stock up on the snacks. Today I made another batch of No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, and Chex Mix too. I make my Chex Mix with cereal only, that seems to be everybody’s favorite around here. The cookies are taking a little bit longer to dry as the humidity is super high today. I hope that this batch does not disappear as quickly as the last batch did 😉
