Fridays start my weekends and so last night I planned out what we will be doing over the next few days. It started raining here and many are saying that Fall is upon us and the nice weather is over. Before the rain started we hauled in the rest of the ripe and almost ripe tomatoes and picked the peas. I still need to check if the eggplant and corn can be picked that was left can be picked.
Today our focus will be on grading this weeks school work, planning for next week, and teaching next week's material. As I am meeting with each student (3) the others will be working on baking and watching the little kids. In between we will be washing diapers and catching up on some other laundry.
Tomorrow we will be working on some miscellaneous canning - stewed tomatoes and salsa, applesauce, peppers, carrots, peas, and pumpkin. After that we will continue working on the sewing that we began last week.
It is belt tightening time around here. We are unplugging phantom load electrical items, turning off lights, and hanging laundry in the house. We have all of our food we needs stored away but I would like to bring down some of our other expenses. DH gasps when he sees how much it takes to run our household, but laughs at trying to cut a few dollars in electricity.
I am working on Christmas plans around here. For awhile I have wanted to try and make more of the kid's gifts. This year I think I am going to finally do it. I have a list of what I want to do and now I need to get started.
Well Johnny (4) just woke up and told me he was dreaming about juice, so I guess it is time to serve breakfast. We are having pear baked oatmeal. Lunch will be sandwiches and dinner roasted chicken, scallopped potatoes, pea salad, carrots, and peach pie. |
