Yam - thanks for starting us out for the weekend! Hope you feel better soon!
Finally the weekend! Yes - it's official, I'm getting sick I slept like a dead woman last night and managed to sleep much later than the 6:00 that I usually get up! Hopefully that will help.
The plan for today is to take the herd of children to the basement and help Mr. Wonderful put up new support beams to help level the basement ceilin/first floor floor. We can't do any more on the remodel until we get everything leveled off. Past owners of this "120 year old piece of **** farm house with character" had removed load bearing walls without regard for what it would do to the structural integrity of the house. So now we're getting everything fixed! What a bunch of work!
Tomorow we have plans to go to town for brunch and complete some errands. I think the Twilight movie will be jumping into our cart! On a side note - I've read all four books and so have my four daughters. They are SO good! I was a worthless pile while reading them - just couldn't put them down!
I brought the last of the leftover food from the dinner Thursday night home with me to feed the gremlins and Mr. Wonderful. I've put a bunch of the glazed carrots in the freezer. There's about two more meals worth of roast beef. But the mashed potatoes ! Holy Cow! I've still got one of those catering size alumninum foil type pans 2/3 full! I think I'll make a bunch of potato bread this weekend and see if I can use some of them up that way.
Chris - how did your to do list go yesterday? I have to write things down on a list too. It give me such a feeling of accomplishment when I get to cross things off! I love bagpipes! My dad was Scottish and we had a bagpiper at his funeral. He was in full kilt and walked through the chapel and out the back playing Amazing Grace. It was one of the most powerful moments in my life!
Dawn - Hope Davy continues to do well and improve.
Kristen - your little man is beautiful! What a doll!
Stirling - welcome to the O! From reading your post it looks like we have some things in common: I'm an aggie - I teach high school agriculture, I also have a daughter who is a junior in college majoring in Ag Ed.
Lia - good luck with your lazy internet!
Sally - have a wonderful weekend and enjoy having your man home! I can totally relate to the yelling for school to start - a bus load of our kids went to North Dakota on Thursday to help with sandbagging and etc. They were sleepy, lazy butts on Friday morning
Merkee- glad your kitten is going well!
Clara - have fun! Sounds like a wonderful trip!
Sara - love your new avatar! It makes me laugh every time I pull up one of your posts!
I hope you all have fabulous, restful and productive weekends!
