Lizzie in Ma Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Happy today, no school, home with my girls, sheltering from the storm, playing my favorite Christmas Cantata music. I have lots of baking to do, I am on for Pumpkin Cinnamon Buns and Green Bean Casserole tomorrow so I need to get those done. Burned the snot out of dinner in my heirloom dish last night so I need to get that scrubbed and cleaned, blech. Apparently people want to eat again tonight so I need to figure out supper. Old friend in the service is coming by to raid my vaping gear and juice, he is in the army so I hope I can set him up well, happy always to help out. I have a stash of stuff I don't like. I am thrilled he is finally off cigarettes and on to vaping. He needs to do laundry too so he can hang out and game with the kids for awhile. At some point I NEED a shower. I am always the last one to get a shot at it. Need to bring wood in, it's warm now but going to be freezing tonight. (literally, 32) Chickens are pissed I won't let them out of the coop, but we lost one to that coyote the other day so they can suck it up. I will probably make them some pasta to assuage their ruffled feathers, they love the stuff. Need to call the outlaws and get Christmas plans set, I am hoping they will come here this year, they haven't done so since eldest was 4 years old! Various and sundry daily chores too.

Ds just tried this argument on me. I told him that as his mother I absolutely would still have the power to ground him. And that I would have to take over the world while he was grounded and make everyone do their chores and brush their teeth and wash behind their ears . . . oh and be nice to each other. If you would do all that if you took over the world, then I wouldn't mind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 House is basically under control. Now, sauté veggies for dressing and make cheese ball. My "butler pantry" is set up in the garage now. Woohoo. We take all the school desks out of the school room and put them in the garage, so we can set up a table in there for tomorrow, then DH parks in the driveway. It's great. I can keep so much stuff out there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I found a recipe very much like it, and made tartlets instead of a pie. Half turned out of the pan beautifully. The rest taste good, and maybe can be covered with whipped cream. Usually I host Thanksgiving and I know I like it better than my mom hosting. Because she is calling five times a day, and I am making nearly all the food anyway. She tried to get me to come over early tomorrow to finish the turkey. Luckily all my kids were out of the house this afternoon, so I could scream with frustration. Never again. I will host forever if I have to.

We all shared about how we met our spouses. Very interesting. My dad about had himself in hot water, but he redeemed himself at the end. Now, I've the turkey in brine in the fridge, am cooking up stock for the gravy, got my second load of laundry in since we've gotten home... I'm beat.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Pain hit this evening. But I got everything done on my list except for extra cleaning from my Monday list and the green smoothie. I just did not feel like going to the work to have something cold.

swellmomma Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Got home from work just after 10pm. Did a late night schooling session with dd6(she was still up and complaining she wasn't smart enough yet, gave ds15 his math test that he has been trying to avoid, and sent dd14 off with her lit reading she tried to tell me was lost). Turns out while I was at work ds10 got the bright idea to make new crayons. The inside of my oven is now covered in hardened crayon. THe boy is lucky to be in bed right now and not being beaten up and down the street. Tomorrow he will be scrubbing my oven spic and span. (thank goodness our thanksgiving was a month ago and I planned to use my crockpot for a ham tomorrow) I switched the load of laundry, gave ds15 his bedtime meds, and am now working on trying to finish the dang kitchen but with so many boxes still being sorted in there we will see if that can be accomplished before I decide sleep is a better option. I hope there is a tackle thread tomorrow even if most of you will be busy having turkey day, I still have a boat load of things to do :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
