Friday Friday

It is almost impossible to type a coherent sentence when there are children in the next room, who are supposed to be napping, acting like cats and dogs. Woof woof and meow meow is all I can really here. And they are LOUD.

Seriously, if someone forced me to go lie down every afternoon, I would embrace it! I miss naps.

Okay, okay, I admit it. I took a nap yesterday. For about 5 hours. But, it was drug induced. I was feeling achy, hot, cold, etc. so I took some DayQuil. The one where it says you will feel better but not drowsy. Yeah, right. I was out less than 30 minutes after taking only 1/2 a dose. I fell on to my bed a little after 10:00ish in the morning. Next thing I knew, it was 3:30 in the afternoon and the children were getting up from their naps. J had picked up Claire from school, fixed and fed them lunch, and put them down for their naps. I slept right through all of that. Oblivious to everything. The worst part was waking up to the medicine head afterwards. I felt like I was swimming in jell-o for the rest of the afternoon. Almost not worth the nap.

Almost.

New Year, New Resolve

Nope, not a resolution. Just going to try harder

Anyway, it was extremely difficult to keep this up while working, taking care of two little one and a hubby. And housekeeping. So the blogging (and a lot of housekeeping) fell by the wayside

My temp position is over. It was only supposed to last through the beginning of August but ended up going through the beginning of January.

This past week, all four of us were home together. All week long. Every day of it. Claire did have school Tuesday-Thursday in the mornings so she had a reprieve from all the family togetherness for a bit. Lucky girl.

I spent part of last week trying to get re-acclimated to being home again full time. I have managed to bake two loaves of Honey Wheat Bread. Turned out pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. I am looking forward to getting back into the kitchen and being able to cook more often. Cooking is my stress reliever. And I received some new cookbooks for Christmas. I am excited about trying out some new recipes

And I am going to start baking. I cook often but have never really gotten into baking. I've started with bread and am going to work my way up from there. Cakes from scratch, brownies from scratch. After I 'master' that, who knows
