It's a random mess in here.

Do you think it is strange to enjoy your domestic duties? I'm generally happiest when I'm catching up on laundry, simmering supper on the stove and slipping into fresh linens when I lay down to sleep. I hate organizing though and any kind of paper work or filing makes me break out in hives. I don't want to worry my "pretty little head" with budgets and spread sheets. I'd rather make grocery lists and garden plans.

I just saw the extended forecast and we aren't getting out of the 40s for the next week and I even saw snow. I guess that little taste of Spring is over. Winter is returning and she's ticked off. Oh, except it's warm today and stormy. I had to clean out the tornado closet. This midwest weather is a roller coaster ride.

Our visit to WV was really nice this weekend. It was chaotic and loud and everyone ate too much. So, I call that a success. I'd be really sad if I had to move any further away and couldn't get in for a weekend.

My husband seems to have reached a decision about his job. It may not be our dream place to live or our ideal situation but we are staying put. This economy is scary. People are suffering, work in drying up and homes are sitting empty. We need time to be settled. We need time to spend doing something besides moving. His job is not ideal but we are doing better financially than we ever have before. It also seems fairly secure. I'm relieved with his decision. It's just not a good time to chase those dreams.

I really want to go to the Homeschool convention here in Indianapolis. My in-laws are going to be here that weekend. There is NO WAY I would take them to the exhibition hall. I really want to put my hands on and flip through the curriculum I want to order for next year but, taking my mother-in-law to the convention is OUT OF THE QUESTION. The thought makes me shudder. What do I do?

My husband and I have a week of freedom while my son is visiting my Mom and Dad this June. We haven't been away alone in years. We want to take a little mini-vacation. It needs to be budget friendly and fun. We can't decide where to go.

I'm sick of being cold.

If we still have power later today my son and I are making cookies.

My husband and I have to stop watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Every time we watch it in the evening, we end up fixing something to eat or going out at 10:00 at night for a chili dog. It's crazy.

The time change is really messing with my schedule. My son is still in bed at 9:45. I should wake him up but I was enjoying the quiet.

That is about all the random fluff I have for today. My brain is scattered and I'm sleepy. And it's dark and stormy.

Hope y-ins have a great day!
