Super Duper Windy Today

I have no idea what is with the wind today, but it is super crazy windy out. Not only was stuff blowing around outside (today is trash day too, so that was going everywhere), but all our stuff was blowing around inside.

Matt's school desk is in front of a window and we had to hold his school work down with a book (or my camera). It took us a little bit longer because if we moved the book or our hands, the papers went flying. I did try moving back to the kitchen, but it was just as bad in there. Eventually we got our lessons done before I had to head out to the store for some half & half for dinner tonight.

I am making corn chowder tonight. Normally I make this when it is cold out or for the Autum Equinox (which is this coming Sunday!), but I had roasted a chicken last night and used the carcas to make some stock that I am using for the chowder.

My kitchen smells yummy right now. Normally I wouldn't cook it this early, but I have to leave the house at 4:30 to meet my hubby and hand Matt over to him so I can get to work on time. I work at 5:30 and usually my hubby is home by 3:30 or 4, but he started at 9am today, so he won't get out until 5 and home until 5:30. Stinks with him not having a set schedule. Ahh such is the life of a truck driver.
