A Very Productive Weekend...

We:

finished staining the bunk bed

painted half of a very large bedroom

several loads of laundry

started the curtains for said half painted bedroom

baked cookies, made granola, roasted a chicken, made beans and rice and better butter

washed a weekends worth of baking dishes in a single session

finished two pairs of jammy pants and a pair of short-alls (now that it is autumn)

untangled a mass of yarn (started dress for Grace, decided I didn't have the right yarn after working on the bottom hem all week, ripped it all out, didn't get to winding it back up before the kids got to it. A very patient and loving hubby helped me untangle it at 10:30 at night when he would have rather been doing something else.)

toilet paper holder and towel bar affixed to a stud, so hopefully that is the last time it had to be put up

tried to participated in a recipe swap, but so far not very many people seem interested in doing

Researched more about hypothyroidism since I can't find a doctor to prescribe Amour(a natural hormone versus the synthetic I was taking), I stopped taking the synthetic because I couldn't stand the side effects anymore. I decided that taking a pill everyday for the rest of my life is not the answer, I needed to figure out how to heal my body. I am going back to biblical basic, Genesis 1:29, a primarily raw foods diet, the one that God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. My husband says that I am so far into the deep end that I am out of the pool!!

I hope all of you had a great weekend!!

Feels Like Nothing was Done

Last week was horrid. I thought I would be able to get tons of things done, not to be. It took so much out of me to get my boys back and forth from VBS and it rain all week. I tend to suffer from SAD and it was a long raining week, hence no lawn mowing, so it looks like the African plains in my front yard. My jewelry board looks really sad, but I work well under pressure so we will see how it goes. Laundry got done, but that always gets done or we wouldn't have room to move in the house. I have one diaper half done and one pull-up done, I need to go and get more elastic.

Up side, my kitchen is clean and I got a little further in the decorating of the bathroom. We have lived here almost six months and it looks like we just moved in as far as the walls are concerned.

We went for a wonderful bike ride on Saturday afternoon. We must have been quite a site, my mom and dad have a tandum bike, my two boys, and my husband and I both had bike trailers. It was a blast and I think it will have to be a Saturday afternoon event from now on.
