My Monday started out getting up early & waking the kiddos.  We went to clean the woman's house.  She had a doctor's appointment so we finished up early & made a quick trip to wal-mart.  (I needed to get a new toilet seat for my bathroom) also a new towel rack for my bathroom.  I got what we needed & then right around there was a clearance shelf.  I saw 3 gallons of Thompsons water sealer + tint for $10 each in the same color we needed.  So called hubby & he said "Buy it"  Re-staining our porches was on my list of projects to do this summer so this was GREAT!

When we got home we had lunch & I cleaned up.  --I still need to put the toilet seat on & rack up, but I'm letting the kitchen floor dry first.  That means I can sit at the computer & wait!

As far as the babysitting goes, I have decided to talk to my sister tonight.  I think things will all work out ok.

After I'm done with my work I plan on reading some.  I have a book from the library called "In a Shaker Kitchen"  I'm really enjoying it.  It is a recipe book with some pretty pictures & a bit of Shaker history.

Another one is one a dear friend of mine picked up for me.  "The Yankee Magazine Book of Forgotten Arts"  -LOADS of information about all aspects of homesteading.  --REALLY neat book!

Here's our weekly menu:

Mon- Hamburgers, salad

Tues- Chicken, stuffing, green beans, gravy

Wed- Stir-fry & rice

Thurs- Tater-tot casserole, mixed veggies

Fri- Red beans & rice, cornbread

Our wal-mart has alot of marked down stuff . They are getting ready for inventory in the first week of may .So we are finding great deals . So glad you found the sealer and in the correct color that you needed . We are wrapping up the school year with a history study that covers every subject . It's the Time Travelers ,The Early 19th Century In America . I ordered it from" Home School In The Woods . It is great for group studies or 4th -8th graders . I have been very pleased with it . All hands own teaching with projects ,penmanship, games, recipes , etc. It covers it all in one CD for the computer . Have a great week ,Shaune
