Yesterday turned out to be a fairly perfect day, I guess. This March wind is something else. The kids and I had to go chasing empty food bowls, </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">buckets and things all morning. After they got their breakfast and started feeding, they hollered at me to help. Well, that kinda set me back doing the laundry for about 1/2 an hour, but we all got the laundry done, hung up to dry, and finished by the middle of the afternoon. The sun, yesterday, was bright. With the wind blowing like it was, the clothes got a beating while drying on the line. I just love to smell them when they have been up on the line all day! So fresh and clean!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm fixing chicken tonight for dinner. We killed and dressed about a dozen a couple days ago, so at least we have started filling up the freezer again since winter. I'll just put it in a roaster in the oven with some carrots, potatoes and onions to make a meal. That will be easy enough, so I might have some time to myself for once while the kids are having their quiet time later. Or, maybe I'll take a nap as well. It's been awhile since that has happened. I'm sure I'll need to get something else done that will take my time instead.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's my turn to think of something to do on "Family Nite" this Friday. I'm thinking of having us play charades. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For more ideas to do with your family, check out <a href="http://www.mpaktevents.com/">http://www.mpaktevents.com</a></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2542538147871811571-4057037406114978838?l=wwwhartofmpakt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hart of mpakthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05204931582060894067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542538147871811571.post-61687914246061307372011-03-05T10:15:00.000-08:002011-03-05T10:15:22.548-08:00Spring?<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Getting out of bed and scurrying to the window, I open the curtain to see rain. Knowing that I have slept a few more minutes, on a Saturday, I look into the kitchen, stand there a moment, and then start thinking of what to do for breakfast.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The rooster is still crowing out by the barn, which reminds me to hurry and get the kids up so they can go get some eggs from the chicken coop. I'll need a few. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I don't like rushing, but I did need that few extra minutes in the warm bed. It felt so comfy just laying next to Jim. Watching his massive chest moving up and down with his every breath. It took some mind over matter to get myself to pull off the covers, swing my legs over the side, and actually stand up.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Momma Ellie told me, last night, that I do need to start taking better care of myself or I'll run down. I know she means well. A very wise woman, she is.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2542538147871811571-6168791424606130737?l=wwwhartofmpakt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hart of mpakthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05204931582060894067noreply@blogger.com0
