Courageous Joy

Thursday Concludes, Finally....

I can't wait until Mike is home - how did I ever survive a deployment? I'm hopeless, hopeless, hopeless.

I made tacos by request for dinner. While making dinner, I was appalled to discover that our fruit tray is looking very depleted. I put this out every mealtime....but there was nothing in it. I sent kids out to the garage fridge for grapes, cantaloupe, nectarines - anything. This is all that is left. It's a good thing that tomorrow is produce day because I don't think we'd make it without an emergency run to the store. I then checked the Produce rack (er bakers rack) and this is all that is left.....

I think I'll make muffins tomorrow afternoon.

We finished dinner and while the kids cleaned their rooms, I decided to go ahead and make the breakfast sausage I had started earlier in the day. Of COURSE, this led to me emptying all my little spice jars in the cupboard into the big tupperware containers on my counter. I've tried for about a year to find a nice place to put these big tupperware things and I don't have a spot. If they are going to be on the counter, I don't need the cute little jars in the cupboard. The spices IN the tupperware smell much fresher than the spices in the jar....I did get the sausage done. Yes, I do buy the spices in bulk because I don't feel so bad then when I throw a handful at a time into my cooking. ::snort::

Then we played Bible Charades. What a HOOT! Nolan guessed one that Arielle was acting as "Jesus at the Last Potato". ::snort:: We ARE working on those OT Bible Stories.

Then we vacuumed. I wonder how long this will seem like a treat????I haven't set up tables for produce yet - but I'll do that tomorrow....I'm going to go to bed and keep reading the new page turner I've discovered. ::snort::
