Thank goodness this is not my to do list for today. I do want to tackle these by summer. The weight thing will not totally happen but I will get a jumpstart on it by then. I hope to have the 1/2 of the weight off by then. I want to do it smart. I think I need to print this list off and carry it around with me for inspiration. what is your inspiration?

Have a sick kiddo but want you to know the most fantabulous giveaway. Made with Love and Glue is giving away the cutest handmade family picture . I soooooooo want one and you will too. Check her out her sweet blog and it will get your creative juices flowing. Now if one of you smarties can tell me how to highlight it here that would be oh so wonderful. For now you will need to go to my Blog List and access it there. Well off to snuggle a really hot child. I hope this fever breaks soon, she is breaking my heart.

Fan freakin tabulous !!!!!!!

I say that with excitement not sarcasm. I am going to get everything done on my to do list today. It is rare that it happens in my world. I normally have too much on list and at the end of the day I feel like such a big ole failure. After this week, my cleaning schedule will be a breeze. It will take all week to get the house in order and then I will just have up keep. How smart am I? I spent all night last night organizing my days. I am one happy girl.

My little girl is home sick today. I had visions of snuggling time and reading time. She has done nothing but sleep. Poor little thing. She really is not feeling well. I think I will make her a little something special, homemade chicken noodle soup. The rest of us will be having Monte Cristo sammies with baked fries and salad. I am hoping that she will be up for fudgy brownies but it looks like I may need to put one back for her.

I wish it was a little warmer. I would love to do some yard work but it needs to be 70 degrees or above. We are due for some rain later this week. I am thinking those days, after my daily chores of course, will be wonderful to dream about the garden and chicken coop. Yep you heard right, we will be getting chickens this spring. I double heart baking and want to use the freshest eggs. I need to also begin collecting jars for canning. If only hubby would build the shelves in the laundry room. My pantry runneth over and I need more room. Things are happening naturally. When I push it never happens the way I want them to. Oh happy days.

Oh Ick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my week to get my self together. I am taking room by room and really cleaning and organizing the thing. Next week I hope to be on a schedule, along with the kids. Hubby and I have had a cold for the last 6 weeks. Ok maybe not that long but it feels like it. I thought some soup sounded great. I do not have any homemade already made or even in the freezer so I opened a can of soup. I keep these on hand for when someone is sick and there is nothing already made. Let me say this OH ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so nasty. Too salty, and too gummy. The veggies are soggy. There is a reason people prefer homemade. After the house gets organized I will be cooking/baking/freezing. I do not want this to ever happen again. I will be searching the cookbooks soon.
