Wrapping up the week
Wow what a week. Or even a day. Miller and I have already been to get a hair cut today and to the Federal Express office and to get diapers. Yesterday we went to the grocery...and might I add I would rather jump off a bridge...naked. That wears me out. TOTALLY. From the moment I walk into Walmart until the 2 hours later we leave both crying and tired....when we get home and I have to un loaded all the groceries we both take naps. It is such an event. I know he will get bigger and eventually get easier....but for now....I dread grocery day. Luckily I only do it 2 times a month.
Wednesday's are my day to myself....and I HEART THIS! Totally. I had such a good day. I found 3 new bathing suits at Dillards on sale....went to lunch with girlfriends....stopped by the library by myself in the quiet and viewed cook books without interuption and didnt even have to go up stairs into the kids area...went into a liquor store (which i never get to do) viewing different wines for our new wine fridge and looked at all the cool cheeses and relishes and stayed 30 minutes...and felt like a grown up.
Anyway....around here....my garden is dying out slowly....and I have a pumpkin growing..not sure where this came from...but me and the kids have enjoyed watching it get bigger....and I have sweet potatoes coming up. The last of the tomatoes are coming in and I'm freezing them for stews and chilis this winter and fall.
The weekend will be relaxed....the last one for awhile. Tonight we are having dinner together as i'm going to make mini meatloafs the last of our summer squash steamed and mashed potatoes....and some sliced tomatoes too. We are going to the pool tomorrow...our pool closes Labor day so we want to be there as much as possible...Sunday we have church and Monday is back to school and work. Madison is staying the night with a friend on Saturday night. So we may take Miller somewhere just him...not sure yet.
I have a new menu plan with new things to try so stay with me as I share recipes in the next couple of weeks. I guess that is all I have going on around here. I hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy the last days of summer....fall is so close we can smell it.....talk to you soon.

Can't wait to see the recipes you'll share. Have fun at the pool.

Do you to Noble Park pool? It is a nice pool but way crowed most of the time. Of course all the kids are in school now.
Oh, I am so ready for the cooler air of fall! It is close, & we've had some cooler temps, but now 90s are back in the forecast for the next week. Yuck.
Happy Friday!
I wanted to say thanks for the birthday wishes you left on my blog!
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate with little ones. Hence the needing a good cup of coffee? My kids are older but I still hate grocery shopping. I usually wait until I'm completely out of food before going. I just dread it.
Have a nice weekend!
Brandee :-)
btw i love the title/subtitle of your blog:)
Glad you enjoyed yourself on Wed!
And being at the library all alone -- ahhh! That is my retreat place. I just love it.
Have a good weekend! You're so sweet to be sending me something with all you have going on:-)
Glad you enjoyed Wednesday - sounds good to me.
Some of the best pumpkins we ever grew, were volunteer, around the patio, where the kids carved their hallowe'en pumpkins, the year before!
