is it that time again?

Seriously! Has it already been 4 days since I last posted, it feels like I just did it yesterday? No pictures this time I'm afraid. We really haven't been up to much this week. We were off school Monday for 'Martin Luther King' day so we had a nice relaxing day around the house. Kristen played with Connor next door for most of the day.

Back to normal on Tuesday. I took Kristen to school, called in to the grocery store on the way home, cleaned up the kitchen once I'd put groceries away, then headed out to the gym. Once I'd finished at the gym I went off to buy some wood for the fire. We just got some a few weeks ago but we've had a few cold nights and the pile of wood we bought has already gone. I love when it's chilly enough to light a fire, it just makes the house feel so cozy. So after I bought the wood (the guy loads it in to my van) I headed home again, and I had to unload the van and stack the wood. You'd think this would be a 'mans' job! But the man of this house is of the thinking that he'd rather work an extra hour and pay someone to do this for him!!! Only problem is, you have to pay 3 times as much to have wood delivered to your door. So what only cost me $40 would have cost about $120 if we'd done it Jason's way :-/

So after all that, guess what I did on Wednesday . . . . . NOTHING!!!! :-) Jason said he was going out after work with colleagues from the office so I knew I didn't have dinner to make. Nor did I bother doing any laundry or other housework stuff. I basically took the day off, did some knitting and watched TV. Then I went to pick up Kristen from school and knit and watched TV again when we got home. Yes, it was a lovely day.

Today (Thursday) it was back to the usual housework stuff as well as a trip to the gym. I'm determined to look and feel my best this summer - are you with me Nenna? :-)

I need a Wednesday like that. I was hoping for one on a couple weeks but now I have girl scout things to do.

Oh well :)

Hi Denise! How I miss having days off. Those are long gone, but I don't complain, as Elliot & Emily are such blessings to share my days with. I know this time will be just a memory in such a short time, & then I will get those days off again.

What cute pictures of Kristen! She was/is such a doll, & I know you must be so proud of her.

Have a wonderful weekend, & don't do any 'man's work'. :-) Hugs!

I am going to try and give myself a day off this week. I've been pretty busy lately, mainly sewing. Just finished making new covers for 5 of the dining room chairs, and will finish the last one today. I just can't stop sewing.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend. :O)

Hi Denise! I would be hauling the wood, too, rather than paying all that extra for delivery. That's really like burning money! ;) But, I do think Jason probably should've done that job. I'm used to doing man's work because of Jeff's schedule of being gone 24 hours at a time.

That was sweet what you said about Dylan. We all get to know and love one another's pets. :)
