Well, let's see... first I have to say I am feeling a little bit better today so I am going to Church at 9am, then after that I have to go visit my son who's about 2 hours away, we will leave at 11am (right after Church) and leave there at 4pm, which will get us home by 6, after that we will eat dinner (some leftover Chicken Rice Soup with Potatoes), then relax and watch a movie.
What your plans for today?

Today we are going back over to a friends house to help dig it out. Hopefully today we don't find dead mice. Then I have a grocery shop, see my dad and do a audit.

I have a load of laundry in the washer now. I NEED to start working on some things for spring/summer shows. I have one new project that I have to wait until it warms up to about 70* and do it out side. I need to start knitting shawls and sewing belts.
I also want to take the dogs on a nice long walk today. The coyote hunters are out right now so I'll wait a few hours on that.
Have a relaxing Sunday everyone!
I slept in a bit this morning as this is my only day off from work. Plans for today include catching up on laundry (just put a load in a few minutes ago) and continuing to get settled in the new house. I'm looking forward to a quiet day at home. Hope everyone has a great day!
I get a moment on FV, on a Sunday! DH went out shooting this morning with friends. (I wanted to go, but I have so much to do here. ) DH really wanted to stay home this morning, but he made this committment to his friend, plus I know he will have a good time. He will be home about 1:00 and then do some work for a few hours here. Then we will hang out and watch a movie later on tonight.
I also have to work on a Photoshop altered photo for an aquaintence of DH's. It's for the mainpage of his website. I really want to get at least two hours into that. I love Photoshop and work in it as often as I can. I am also building my portfolio and updating my resumes again.
I did some cleaning yesterday, but I need to vaccum yet and wipe down the floors. I have about four loads of laundry left to wash, hang/dry and fold. So while I am down there, I will be going through more of my sewing stuff. I am slimming down to one large rubber maid bin of some fabric, trims, misc. items and sewing books, and one two (deep) drawer rubber made shelf unit for fabric only. This has been great for getting myself moving on finishing projects I already have materials for. I try to work on them while we are watching a movie at night if I'm not doing work on the laptop.
Yesterday was a really fun day. We went to the Burlington Mardi Gras parade with our friends and their family. They also had a pre and post gathering party at their house with plenty of good food. It was the biggest turnout at the parade we have ever seen in the past years we have been here. There were a few thousand people packed on Church Street. It was really fun and not too cold, but very snowy. It was exciting to be out in it!
For dinner I will be making a turkey vegetable stew with homemade garlic fococia bread. I want to also make a pumpkin bread for this week.
Today will be cleaning day, since yesterday was goof off day.
Yesterday, I went with two friends to see all of the really upscale! homes that are for sale. WAY beyond our price range! The cheapest one was only around one million My one friend is a real estate agent, so she was working, the other friend and I are just nosy, so we went along! It was an experience! I'll take my little house any day!
Anyway, today I have a mountain of laundry to do, with vacuuming, dusting, and maybe a little relaxing mixed in.

well the hubby is working a 12 hour shift so its just me and my boy all day.
but im making some bread dough for rolls right now and hope to try that bread challenge i found from the begining of the month. other then that, i guess i will be folding laundry so that i can finish up on the bedroom organization challenge i found too. i'm so glad i found this site!
maybe get all excited and do the grocery shopping I didn't do yesterday due to the sink crisis.
LOL dh made one of his most unusual about faces. I've been tolerating the sink in the bathroom for some time. I keep the mildew in the trap at bay with bleach and tea tree oil but the problem is a rusty overflow.
So his usual thing is to ignore it even as things get worse.
Well yesterday he was mad about the smell when he washes his hands, so OFF we go to the hardware store.
It will take a while, a new counter is coming, so we can put the new sink and tap in
but he usually hides from something like that till it causes damage that I can prove.
The tap under the kitchen sink leaked for 2 years before he agreed that it was leaking and needed replacing. (beyond fixing)
I have no idea why yesterday but I was happy to shelve my grocery expedition till today.
Doesn't take me long to get in and out with my lists and menus all ready to roll.
I'm doing some bookwork while Gripey works out in the backyard. I may do a couple of loads of laundry and wash my car later on.

I am doing a little housework and some laundry. I am going to town to meet DH a little later this afternoon. We are going out to eat with a nice gift certificate that I won in the volunteer fire department raffle and then we need to go grocery shopping.

We had to miss church, because Connor had a fever at 4am. He's got some kind of virus, he's been pooping all day and sleeping, but generally in a good mood when awake. Dh finished painting the girls room and I'm waiting to get it put back together. I have done a little cleaning, ran to Target, and some laundry. Decided to wash the kitchen curtains, so I'm waiting for those to get out of the dryer.
We had chicken pot pie for dinner.
