Going To Grandma’s

Today I’m taking the boys to Grandma’s 🙂 It is her birthday, and we are all going out to lunch to celebrate. I have so much to do this morning. It looks like it is going to be a fun day, as long as the weather holds out. Here is the plan for this morning:

  • Put the car seats into hubby’s car, stroller, and toys too. My car is acting up, and I don’t want to take it too far…
  • Have Thade help finish the Birthday Cupcakes
  • Pack all of the extra necessities, and meals for Dylan
  • Get gas in hubby’s car
  • Hopefully leave the house by 10:30 a.m. 😉

It looks like it is going to be a busy day around here, and I’ve got a migraine to boot. I woke up this morning at 2:30 a.m. with the evil headache, and I finally got up officially at 6:40 a.m. to take some much needed medicine. I just hope that it kicks in soon, my noggin hurts so much today…

Me and the Sewing Machine

Well I put aside a few chores today, and spent a little quality time with my neglected sewing machine. I decided to set up shop in the utility room, in hopes that I could sew while Dylan was napping, and it worked 🙂 Thade wanted to help too, so I put him in charge of the pedal and keeping the kitties off of my project. He did really well, and has excellent foot control.

I wanted to sew a few reusable grocery bags, and I managed to get 2 1/2 finished today. I still need to sew the handles on one of them. I’m hoping to get to it this evening, but most likely  it will be tomorrow before Dylan will let me sew again. I have a few more projects that I would love to start and finish too.  I still need to make 3 curtains for the dining room, and finish the laundry organizer. Maybe I’ll make another grocery bag or two 😉

Friday Fun and Time Wasters

Since its a long weekend, I thought I would share a few of my favorite online time wasters. First off is my All Time Favorite site to spend way too much time on (I’ve been playing there for 9 years) Pogo. I love love love this site : ) I enjoy playing the games Poppit, Sweet Tooth, and Tumble Bees too. This site is so much fun, but oh so addictive.

Up next is a new found favorite icanhascheezburger. You can view or upload you favorite lol kitties : ) This site is too fun, and who doesn’t love adorable and hilarious kitties ; )

Finally a super cool James suggestion, and a favorite of mine too… StumbleUpon. A quick download of their toolbar and you are well on your way to stumbling new sites, blogs, and so much more. This site is great and it is like channel surfing on the internet. I’ve found so many great blogs to read by using StumbleUpon : )

Do you have any favorite sites or Time Wasters?

Greener Garbage

On Sunday I made a grocery run for some much needed items, the flu had made a return to our household, and I had a lot of cleaning to do. Trash Bags were on my list, and I was also looking for a good deal. I usually buy the Wal-Mart brand trash bags, but I spotted Good Sense Recycled Trash Bags on sale for $2.50 🙂 I decided to give them a try, and I’m very pleased with their product.

This is one Green alternative that saved me a little green too. I saved $.68 purchasing the Good Sense trash bags 🙂

Cameraless

I’m bad luck when it comes to electronics. My awesome digital camera broke and displays only a white screen now, and then this weekend my other digital camera bit the dust too. Anytime I attempt take a picture the entire camera shuts down. I’ve ordered a new battery for my awesome digital camera, but it isn’t going to make it in time for Thade’s first T-Ball game… Oh well, I just hope the new battery does the trick.
