Sunday
We are still adjusting to having the early a.m.’s to ourselves and church in the afternoon evening. LOL It would have been a great day for a bike ride – if I had a working bike.
I made dinner. For the lasagna I used some “no boil” organic rice noodles. I have no clue what happened. I used all the other measurements the same and a ton of sauce….a gallon for two of them….but those noodles sucked up the sauce…it was dry. We had the French Strawberry Pie I’d made yesterday for dessert. It was “ok” but I think it would look better if eaten the day it was made. I baked some “cookie dough cookies” this afternoon and the littles one chose that for dessert over the pie.
We went over to Moreaus and dropped off their keys, their Shop Natural Co-op order and their mail…..sort of sad to think I won’t have those hours in the week to veg out and read…..I may have to start running to the library a few hours a week. That quiet was really, really nice. I never did get around to scrubbing her bathroom for her….but I did mop the entry area today. :::snort:::
I had to run to Office Depot again today. What a hoot. I wore out my keyboard again – not just the delete key this time but the space bar, and several keys. I always buy the $9.99 keyboard but they had one on sale that is wireless. I bought it - $29. Last night Mike went to hook it up and it wasn’t in the van or the house. I left it in the store. The manager was the one who had been working on my cookbook bindings. He’d put the wrong cover on them the first time and we’d laughed….when I walked in today he said, “I’m so sorry. I set your keyboard down on the floor and forgot to give it to you. First I messed up your cookbooks (which he fixed) and then I kept your keyboard”. Ah well – didn’t bother me much – another chance to soak up the atmosphere of the office supply store. LOL
I got TWO more books from PBS. *What Paul Really Said about Women* and *Woman First, Family Always* by a mother of 10. I was thinking WOW that is a LOT of kids….and then it hit me I HAVE NINE!!!!
Mike is in preparing for tonight. I’m going to go read a book for a bit and then get everyone ready and head out to church.
The girls will be flying to WA from Boston today….and my boys are flying out this week to AK – thanks for any prayers you remember to say on their behalf. I can’t wait to have everyone home for a few brief weeks in August before Mike flies off. I guess this is what you call a “mobile family”. :::snort::::

How many keyboards have you done in now? LOL about thinking 10 kids was a lot and then realising you have 9! I hope you can get your bike fixed quickly you were doing so well with riding. I forgot to comment on the super cute picture of your cookie monster, I was so focussed on your interesting counter, LOL, but that is a great picture of Stacia. Hmm what else, you've got big kids travelling in all directions, great job raising such independant and enterprising young people!
I needed this new calendar to simply keep track of what state everyone is in! LOL
I have no idea how many keyboards I've killed - more than 5.
I need my bike...I'm going to try to get it in to the shop today.
yeah - that toast counter is pretty cute.....I thought it goes along with my new determination to eat freshly-ground, whole-grain, no synthetic anything bread - makes a wonderful piece of toast....the kids even agreed that it DOES make French toast. They'd been saying that all homemade bread falls apart when you try to make French toast....
