Tuesday Tidbits

Here I sit on Tuesday morning and I have a ton of stuff I want to do today. It is just one of those days where I can't get my act together. It all started with my son not being able to find his "good" sneakers as he has gym today. Then my DD informs me that her sneakers are too tight. Sheesh, I just bought them a month ago. Since DS "good" sneakers are lost and DD has tight sneaks, it looks like I will be plodding away to Kohl's or Payless for new sneakers in the next day or two.

I figured I had it all together by 8:00 AM and sneaker issues resolved temporarily, I pulled out stuff for dinner. I am making a pot roast in the crock pot from the Fix it and Forget it Cookbook. I thawed out the roast yesterday, got the veggies together and went to pull out a pack of onion soup mix to find that I only have ranch and vegetable. ACK!!! Not good. So I drop the kids off at school and head to the supermarket to get the onion soup mix. Of course $15.00 later, I am out of the store. Why is it I can never just run in for the one thing I need? That is one of my big mysteries in life. I finally get home a little before nine and throw everything together and it is now in the crockpot and hopefully will start to smell good soon. I have only used my crock pot for chili and bbq beef brisket in the past so this is a new adventure to me. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of the family like it so I can maybe start using it more. I like having my dinner figured out early in the day so the crock pot is a great thing for me.

So now that my early morning has calmed down, I figure now was a good time to blog and have coffee and then I will tackle the straightening, dusting and vacuuming of the bedrooms. My goal is to have it done by noon and then have a relaxing couple hours stitching. I barely stitched last night and really wanted to, but it just didn't happen. So I figure I can sneak some time in during the day if I get my stuff done in the morning.

With that said, I better send this so that I can achieve my mini-goal in housework today.
