Tuesday:

Today is Thade’s last day at school for the week, and I feel a little rushed this morning. He is really excited to go to the Thanksgiving feast, and the weather isn’t too friendly today. It is cold and rainy, and Dylan is bummed that he is done with school for the week. Agnes isn’t too happy about getting out this morning. Thankfully after 3:00 p.m. we are in for the week.

I ran a little late last night folding laundry, and triple checking the shopping list. My stomach still hurts from the new meds, so it is hard to make a shopping list full of food… I think I’ve got it all together though, my goal for Tuesday’s shopping trip is to get everything we need for the next seven days. I don’t want to have to go back to the store until everyone is back in school.

James was super sweet, and brought me breakfast. It was unbelievably good too. He brought me a Sausage Cheese Biscuit from the Donut Station and it was crazy tasty!

I was super hungry too. I had been working on the Croissant dough.

To Do List:

1. Clean the litter-box, I slacked off yesterday and didn’t get that chore accomplished
2. Take out the trash, tomorrow is trash day, and I don’t want to forget it (better get this done early)
3. Get the turkey into the fridge to thaw. I use just a bone-in Turkey Breast, it is simple to make, and tasty too.
4. Cut up the veggies for the veggie tray, and stock too.
5. Grocery shop, get it all for the next week. Wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving too, and best wishes if they have to work on Friday.
6. Organize the kitchen, and get all of the extras put away. My kitchen is extra cramped this week, I’m cooking ahead, and stocking up, and losing my mind in the mess
7. Incorporate the butter in the Croissant dough, and make the first turn. I’ve still got two more days of rolling, turning, and hoping that they turn out just right.
8. Wash and fold three loads of laundry
9. Make the Vanilla mints for Thanksgiving (I’ll be doing this while watching the debate with James)
10. Round up all of the pots, pans. and baking dishes that I will be using to make dinner, and give them a quick wash.
11. Make extra ice for Thanksgiving
12. Get pizza! We have a new pizza place that just opened, and this week is a great time to try it out. I’m going to take all of the help I can get.
13. Relax, call it a night, and hope that the kids sleep in tomorrow.

My arms hurt.

Till tomorrow,
