This weather is just crazy and I am tired of it

This weekend we had wonderful weather, nice and in 60's and 70's.  Last night we had a thunderstorm which left my yard a swamp again and now, it is sleeting and snowing!  ACK!!!  I am ready for summer!!!

Things have been busy around here but I can't tell you exactly why or what I have been doing.  I do feel like I need to step back and see why things are a little hectic lately.  I know a few things, I need to stay home more and I need to get my menu plan in place and get my pantry stocked back up.  So, I am working on my menu today.  I posted about how I do mine on A Woman's Walk With God and you can read that post if you want more information about it. 

I have tried to declutter a bit lately and made just a little progress in my room.  I hope to make more this week.  I have also come to the conclusion that sometimes it isn't good to put things off for a day or two.  My dh has been off the last three days and I decided I would do my laundry and cleaning today, since he would be going back to work.  Well, I ended up having three extra little ones this morning (two were only for an hour or so) but the baby I will have all day.  That really throws a kink in my cleaning plans, but that is okay, I will get the must do stuff done and the rest will wait until I can get to it.  My friend needed me to watch her baby 3 days this week due to her babysitter's son having the flu.  I am glad I can help out and my chores will still be there when I get to them.  I do have some must do todays, I will share them with you and try to post later or tomorrow and let you know what I got done.

make laundry soap
do laundry
do dishes
make menu plan
sweep floor
make bread

Okay, that is what I really want to accomplish today.  I guess I should get off here and get busy then huh?!

Sorry for all my friends here in blogland, I haven't been keeping up with your posts lately.  I have missed you but sometimes real life gets in the way and we must keep our priorities straight, mustant we!!

Blessings,

Rashel

I have found that if I have to go to town, then my day is very unorganized.I need to stay at home more too.
I was happy to see this post and I totally understand putting it off.
We have had a lot of rain today and our front yard looks like a pond.My son and middle daughter had a ball today playing in it.
I am going to go look at your other blog now:)
