wow

I didn't realize it had been so long since I had updated!  Things have changed so much since the 13th!  I've got a new job and will be going to part time soon at two places, I'm so excited!!!!   This is such a new adventure and a completely different field that I've never worked in!  It's great! 

The advantage is I will be able to wear scrubs....so I thought why can't I make my own scrubs???  they've got to be simple to make, right?   Anyway, in looking for the patters, I came across this lovely thing.......

O

I am so happy with my life.....my relationship with Joey, the kids are all healthy and doing well.   The normal teenage stuff is happening but I guess that's normal, isn't it?   To come to work and hear co-workers fuss about things that seem so little just makes me want to run home......my safe haven!   I never thought I of all people would be the girl that loves to be at home!   My home is so sweet and quiet....even with 4 kids, 2 dogs and 8 chickens....compared to the lives of the others I know!   Bless my little quiet place, I love you home!  I love the dirty kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, yard, chicken coop, EVERYTHING!   I would give anything to be able to stay home and make money to be able to support the house!!!!!!!!!

A Day at the Zoo

We decided to take the little three to the zoo in Montgomery.   We have an annual pass so there wasn't any expense in going, other than gas.   We were a little sad that we were not going to be able to ride the train, it's 3.00 per person to ride and that would have been 15.00 we didn't have to spare.   But, when we got to the zoo we found out we had purchased the train ride tickets when we got the annual pass!!!!!   We, well me and the kiddos, were so excited!   I'll have photos to show soon!  

No I'm planning for a sweet swap!  It's the same as a cookie swap but anything sweet goes.   This is the first one I will attend.  I tried to have one myself and it was way to much work...and that says a lot considering how much I do canning!  This swap consist of 15 dozen sweet items!  15 dozen!  Thats a lot, I'm not sure about this, but it's not until Saturday so we'll see.   I may have a huge baking splurge!

Tomatoes

With one box of tomatoes and a little, well okay a lot of time, we managed to get 7 and a half jars of tomatoe sauce or sause as Katie would put it!!!   I've got a few more boxes to put up but this is the first time I've actually canned tomatoes!   I have always frozen them so this is a first.  I forgot to put the lemon juice, I hope that's not a big deal?!?!?!?
