Thursday Morning Ramblings

Posted in Links

Wow, I am so happy to be blogging again, I was going into some serious withdrawals, lol. The past couple of days something would happen and I would think 'Oh, I should put that in my blog' and then I would remember that I couldn't and then I would forget about it (should have written it down, lol). Oh, well.

The school desks that we got for the kids are a huge success. Charlotte loves that she now has a place to sit and color or do homework if she has any and Josh loves that Charlotte now has a place to color and do her homework, lol. She was constantly using his desk (before we got one for each of them) and leaving it a mess when she was done - not sure if that was because she wanted to annoy her brother or she just had more pressing things to do than clean up after herself.

I found a really neat website for Gluten Free recipes (since Josh has been put on a Gluten Free diet I have been constantly on the look out for Gluten Free recipes). Here is the link for them: http://www.madebymona.com/Recipes/Index.asp

Well, I better go and get some things accomplished, we are going out this afternoon and Josh needs to get his schoolwork done before we go. Oh, and then tonight we go and get a 'new to us' couch. I am very excited about this because we have been wanting another couch to put in the family room. I am a member of our local Freecycle group and one was offered on it (actually quite a few have been offered on it lately) and I was chosen to receive this one. The lady that we are getting it from said that it is 7 feet long - so that should allow all four of us to sit on it during our Friday night movie nights. Okay, off to take on the day. TTFN
