New Leaves

I am staring at the end of my blissful week off. I am wondering where all my time went, and I yet I know, I spent it doing very little. Which for me, is a great change. Today though, I look at everything surrounding me and think... Oh My Goodness.... I have to clean everything.... Today.

Sidenote: I am at the bottom of a bag of raisin bran and it is of course.... too raisin-y. I feel like I'm chewing cud instead of raisin bran.

Mike and I spent Thursday together. We had a wonderful day. We went to Aullwood Audubon Center, and explored the trails, and just enjoyed the absolutely beautiful scenery. I am hoping that the next time Dusty comes out, I can take her there because the place is just so well set up. It's a place that you can take your children to learn and explore.

Afterwards, we drove to Covington, OH and purchased 1.25 lbs of morels for an ungodly price. But we've been hunting without avail, and Mike's back just isn't up to all the hiking it takes to keep exploring until you finally find some. But they were really good.

We have B this weekend... well, since this Thursday. I've been real lax lately, just trying to let them get accustomed to me, but finding several candy wrappers behind your furniture, and a cheese stick wrapper on the floor isn't jiving with me. It's not going to jive with me.

Anyhow, I plan on getting as much done today as possible, and then relaxing.

We went and saw Nanny McPhee last night. We really liked it.

Before the movie, we stopped at the bookstore which was dangerously close to JoAnne's Craft Store. Even more dangerous because they were having a clearance sale because they were moving the store. Mike and B went to the bookstore, I went to JoAnnes. I was only in JoAnnes for 2 minutes before I called for back up. "Grab a cart, and meet me at the yarn." They had an 80% sale on yarn, and getting 6.00 yarn for 1.19 was something that I could not pass up. Mike kept encouraging me. 84.00 in yarn after it was all over, but considering that it would have been close to 500.00 without the disount, that was completely worth it.

So, I plan on baking strawberry banana cake, sipping tea, and crocheting this afternoon after the daily toil is complete.
