....and the van won't start.

"Mommmm this is going to take F O R E V E R!"

16th wedding anniversary, dh is working.

17th anniversary.

29 days til we must be moved out.

3 rounds of emergancy vehicles and now several rounds of unmarked vehicles have flown by down our little highway...something is going on in our rural area...

About 3 times a year I wish I had a pick up truck, today is one of them. I need a whole lotta mulch. My compact car just isn't designed for hauling it.

Achoo!

After second vet visit, our cat is eating fine now! Hooray!

ALDI has grass fed ground beef.

All roads closed, no more snow plows clearing them. I guess we better not have an emergancy.

Am I invisible this week?

Apples, purple cabbage, kohlrabi, green garlic, carrots, sweet peppers, snow peas...and bacon stir fry

Arrive at dentist office only to have 13 yr old realize he has no shoes. NO SHOES?! How does this happen? The dentist is 30+ minutes from home.

Arrived home to find thermostat malfunctioned and it is 91 degrees in the house in the middle of winter.

Avast me matey's, voyaging across the high seas in search of treasure today (The Field Museum).

Blueberry freezer jam turned out delicious!

Bummed, I was given a free table loom. After cleaning it up and checking it out I realized it's missing parts. No idea where/how to fix it.

Burned my finger cooking eggs for the kids this morning, hopefully the day improves from here!

Calories consumed during a (rare) kid free meal with a friend do not count.

Cat is on my s***, I mean my "I don't like you much right now" list for trying to make me get up at sunrise because food bowl was empty. Apparently she was at imminent risk of straving to death.

Cat puke is not the best start to a Monday.

Child, your math might make more sense if you shut off the minecraft video you are secretly listening to at the same time.

Cooked up sunchokes for the very first time, they were good.

Cooking dinner, curry and rice.
