All the Extra Time

This morning I woke up way too early. My little guy has been slowly re-programming me to become a morning person, so I decided to take advantage of the extra time that I had this morning. It was still about 15 minutes before my hubby had to venture out into the icy world, and I thought he needed breakfast for his travels. I headed downstairs, and was making my list of all of the things that I wanted to get accomplished before the boys woke up this morning. I was going to feed the cats, fold a load of laundry, wash a load of laundry, sweep up downstairs, and get a jump start on last night’s dishes waiting in the kitchen. I had an hour, I was going to use it.

I packed breakfast for my hubby, gave him a kiss good-bye, started the coffee, and then sat down at my lap-top. I caught up on all of the blogs that I read, sent a few e-mails, checked out a few sites, and then Dylan was up and ready for breakfast. Whoops I accomplished NOTHING on my list, and wow how quickly that hour flew by.  I really enjoyed the peace and quiet that I had all to myself, and I bet those chores don’t mind waiting until a little later 😉

Fresh Baked Bread

My fabulous neighbor came to visit today, and brought along a Fresh Baked Loaf of Amish Friendship Bread (warm from the oven), and the starter for the bread too. The bread is delicious, and we’ll have fun baking with the starter. Thade made a little card for her to say thanks for all of the yummy cookies that she brings us, she was pretty happy.

 

Thade has already had two pieces of the Friendship Bread 🙂 Thanks again to our Super Sweet Neighbor!

Little Jobs

Thanks to all of the Ice, I decided it would be a good day to stock up the freezer. I made a big batch of Homemade Waffles, and even Thade liked them. The recipe made 15, and 12 made their way into the freezer for future tasty breakfasts.

 

This afternoon I’ve been working on a really odd project in the Dining Room, caulking around the wood-work, and the windows. I think the caulking around the windows will help seal out any sneaky cold air, and the caulking around the wood-work looks great. If I can get all of the prep-work finished maybe then we can get to painting around here.

 

The only problem with looking for seams to seal is that it is hard to stop. I then made my way into the kitchen, to caulk the cabinets, and baseboards too. I had better stop before I get a gigantic headache. It does look nicer, even though it doesn’t look like I did anything 😉

 

This afternoon I hope to get my neglected Sewing Machine out and fix the upstairs bathroom curtain. I need to find a nice place to sew though, Dylan is not a fan of the noisy machine 😉 It looks like a lot of little odd jobs that I had better get to.

Thunder and Ice

It is so icy outside today, and school has been canceled. This morning we even had Thunder-sleet, it was so strange. The Ice was coming down while it was Thundering and Lightening, we have some of the strangest weather in my neck of the woods. The ice is still coming down, and looks like it is here to stay for the day.

I think we will be in all day. Yesterday we got all of the outdoor errands accomplished, thank goodness.  Today I’ll be doing odd jobs around the house, and cleaning in the kitchen. We might even get out the Play-Doh at Dylan’s afternoon nap, so Thade and I can play.

Are you in a Winter Wonderland today, or is it nice and sunny at your house today?
