A fellow HSler hosted a 'playdate'. WHAT  HOOT!  Those ladies are a riot! Joey was a bit of a pill, but I guess he got over it. I don't know if he's missing Mat or what.

And next week (when I host), one lady is bringing me kombucha 'scobies'?? The starts!LOL I learned of a few other things as well--where I can get raw milk (to make kefir), different butchers, etc. And another lady is bringing me more goat's milk soap! She also makes and sells goat milk cheese and makes some dip that she's supposed to bring next week. The ladies who had it were raving about it!

Probably the funniest thing was that there were 2 ladies there and they both looked familiar. I'm pretty sure that one is DH's customer. I met her at one other HS event. I think we might have scared her off this time tho.........LOL I heard the other one mention horseman's name, but it wasn't clicking so I figured that I had just seen her there at one time or another. So she asks me if I am 'the one'. I said, I  don't know, but you mentioned horseman's name and I live on his road so I"m going to guess yes!ROTFL! Turns out she's the lady who stopped by in the dead of winter once and Dh had the quilt nailed to the front door and I had to talk to her while I was stooped over thru the screen in my bedroom window (the porch runs along there)!ROTFL! So we had a lovely chuckle about how DH winterizes the inside of hte house......:)

Well I wound up just not feeling well today. I know this is all weather related, but it seems to be getting worse the older I get?!?!?! Plus I think I'm getting SICK!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!! At any rate, I made the chicken salad--just mixed up some chicken, mayo, celery, pecans adn honey. I also have the stock done.

I think the only thing left is to get Mat's history/geography on the computer for when he gets back.

But that was put on hold cuz I tried to nap. Not very well since the phone kept ringing. Mat was in the basement playing quietly, which was nice.

Yesterday was squats and lunges and OUCH OUCH OUCH! Naturally, today was MORE squats and lunges. At least I won't be as sore tomorrow.

I have mopped, vacuumed, dusted, cleaned the bathrooms, have laundry caught up, chicken stock is boiling and Joey's school is done. I was pretty impressed. I sent Joey to the garden to get me an onion and he did! I truly wasn't sure WHAT he'd bring back!ROTFL!

I was going to make chicken enchiladas for tonight's supper, but I don't have any flour tortillas! I know I could make them, but I gave the noodle maker back to my mom and that's how I flattened them. So I'm going to ask DH to pick some up adn we'll have that tomorrow night. We'll have chicken salad tonight and I'll make that this afternoon.

While combining errands is certainly gas and time efficient, it makes for LONG DAYS! I left at 11 and got home at 6! I went to the PO, met my mom adn sister for lunch and to swap veggies for boys (;0), off to the library for their reading program party, to goodwill, bowling, grocery, pet store and bulk food store. It's all put away. I need to update the checkbook,  but we didn't spend much so I'm not super worried.

I did get another killer headache and it's still hanging around. This morning before I left, I picked beets, onions and peas. I'm goign to try to sell the beets and onions and I shelled all the peas for supper. So we're having beets, peas and cheeseburgers for supper.

Hey!  I just stopped by Crosswalk.com and...lo and behold...they re-posted one of my articles!  http://www.crosswalk.com/homeschool/1273983/ That was a nice surprise.  (I need to up-date my info with them!  )
