It's a chilly Tuesday here and it has been raining for 2.5 day straight. The sun is coming out and everything has grown inches from the rain. I am very excited about this. The big kids are off to school. One early because she had chorus this morning and the other on time via bus.
Now that the house is quiet some what , I still have my 5 yr old preschooler who is home preschooled and will need his lesson, yet I sit here thinking what I should place on my to do list and pray I have the energy and strength to keep up with my normal to do's since I am still fighting and awful chest and sinus cold along with still healing from my radiation burns from my cancer treatments. Depression has shown it's ugliness along with headaches such two nasty side effects from my post cancer medications.
Yesterday I made bread and breakfast muffins. Today my daughter requested pancakes to be made and froze. She likes to heat them up and serve herself in the morning.
I need to clean my son's room and organize it so his new bunk bed can be set up on Thursday. He doesn't know yet that he is getting a big boy twin bed. He is going to be so surprised and so happy. Me on the other hand will be filled with tears as I see my little boy, my last one, so tiny to me, sleeping in a big bed not his toddler bed no more. I wish often they could stay small just a little longer than they do.
Gardening-
hmmmm not much here today since my wonderful husband helped me weed and plant on Saturday before the rain. We planted 8 basil, 2 boxwood basil, 2 rosemary, 4 dills, 1 orange, 1 apple mint and a row of butter leaf lettuce. The rhubarb and the asparagus is coming up that we planted a week ago. That is very exciting.
I do have 2 apple trees to relocate that are still small so I guess I will do that for gardening. I was thinking one on each side of the stone steps leading to the berry and herb garden would look really nice in the backyard.
Maybe if the yard dries up enough I will cut the grass in the afternoon.
Crafting-
I am hoping to work on my hand quilting and finish up the area in the hoop. This would finish one of the many blocks on the Oak Quilt and I will be able to move the hoop over. I do need to take time this week to get the April B. O. M.'s done because May is just around the corner.
Chores -
Bible lesson
bill paying
laundry
dishes
cleaning of the kitchen table and counter
sweeping and washing of the kitchen floor
putting away winter blankets from the living room and placing out the summer ones.
decluttering the living room floor from toys and vacuuming
cleaning the 2 bathrooms
feeding the animals including the chickens
and making dinner.
One thing that is nice is that archery for my oldest is cancelled today so I don't have to play taxi today and I get to just stay home and keep chugging along but I do have to play detective today and find the missing Boy Scout day bag.
Well let me begin my day and I will report back later.
