Five for Me and Other Tidbits

Five minutes for Me ~ This morning's sunrise, sipping coffee on the front porch.



If you wondering, I am not canning today.  

I was thrilled to Skype with Daughter and see how she was doing.  We do miss not having contact with Son but hope to hear from him soon.  


We were going to go camping this weekend, but had to cancel due to Hubby's work schedule (unexpectedly at the last minute).  That's okay.  I just go with the flow around here. 

Staying home forced me to clean off a table to play cards with Hubby, so we could have an "in house" date night.   

However, in order to clean off the table, I had to put crafting supplies back in their homes, put the kids military photos in a safer place, put clothes away, and so on.  This threw me into a tizzy of cleaning my bedroom, which by the way is a total mess.  It's so bad, my 12 year-old told me, "You know, one of these days I'm gonna sneak in here and pull a "Big Bang Theory" on you!"

(If you don't watch the Big Bang Theory, he sneaks into Penny's apartment while she's sleeping and cleans it.)

Back to the "tizzy."  Just that little bit of decluttering energized me into getting the house in order.  Oh boy, it needs it.  Stuff here and there and everywhere.  

It's a holiday weekend, and the kids just want to sit around and do nothing.  Now I could be really mean, and go buy a few more bushels of corn this weekend.  My kids would love me for all that shucking (Bwahahaha!) We've already been dibbing into our winter supply so we could replenish it (I could be that mean, ha ha!).
