Time for me to crank up the music and clean the house. I can get so much more done when the kids are not at home. I just play my favorite music and clean, clean, clean. I will be tired by the end of the day, because the house got trashed over the weekend, and yesterday I was out all day running errands so couldn’t do it. Okay, then. Off I go.
Time for breakfast
I think I will go make a small breakfast for me and my little guy. Some cream of wheat and scrambled eggs sounds divine right now. Maybe I will add a little toast on the side with jelly. I know he will like that.
He hasn’t been eating much lately, so I have to find something to tempt his appetite. This looks good, with a little fruit on the top.
Shopping
Found a new way to shop online. DealDash is where it is. I have bid on a few things that I really like and actually got a couple of them, really cheap. Deal Dash has all kinds of stuff. No matter what you are into, you will be able to find something you like. DealDash is where I am going to find a lot of my Christmas presents this year.
Tutoring Online Can help Kids
I have found an awesome site for tutoring online that can help kids struggling with their schoolwork. A tutor is sometimes necessary for kids in school. There are many different ways to take advantage of the website and the resources they have. You can join and post questions on the Q & A board or you can get one on one tutoring if you so need. You can also help others by answering questions in the Q & A board, if you know the answers. It is all very interactive with real, live people.
I think this is a great tool for kids to use, no matter what grade they are in. I am definitely going to be making use of this with my kids, when they run into problems that I cannot handle myself. Most of the time, I help them, but sometimes it is hard to help all three kids at the same time. I know with this, I can at least set my oldest child up with someone knowledgeable to help him.
Happy Halloween
Just a little shout out to all of the goblins and monsters out there. Have a great time Trick or Treating and if you aren’t doing that then drive safely to whatever parties you attend.
Halloween is my favorite holiday, because it is just so much fun. What is your favorite Holiday?
So beautiful
I think this is so beautiful. I would love to have one of these in my yard. I can just see it now, as it blooms in the Spring. It would look lovely. I am going to have to find out how much one of these are. That way I can order one and plant it as soon as Spring hits. I am sure they are expensive, but totally worth it.
Movin right along
Well, I am cooking like a fiend already. Baking even before the holidays arrive. I made a pumpkin pie already as well as cookies. I have the makings for a Flan that I am going to make soon as well. Plus, I have to get a new food processor so I can make some of my Christmas cookies this year. You would not believe how much I use a food processor. I totally burnt the other one out in just two years. That is totally amazing.
My mother just laughs about it and says I am doing well if I can burn out a FP in that amount of time. Personally I think I need to buy a much better one than the last one was. Anyway, I am sure to gain some weight with all of this cooking.
The old homestead
I am at my grandparents farm for the weekend. The kids wanted to visit and spend a little time here and since they are on fall break, I thought it was a good idea. I am helping my granny do some canning and such. I love spending time with her doing this. My daughter is learning this old time skill and surprisingly enough, she is enjoying it too. There is something to be said for old school skills like this, it makes for really good family time.
I want to visit this place
Right about now, I would give just about anything to be on this beach relaxing. Winter is fast approaching and I am not looking forward to it at all this year.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be a really hard winter, since last year was very mild. We had a lot of rain and practically no snow or ice. Calgon take me away !
Five more days
There are only five more days left until Avengers comes out on DVD. I can’t wait. I saw it in the theater and loved it so much that I just have to buy it. I know that there will be deleted scenes and such, which means it will almost be like a new movie. I love that about DVD’s. Directors cuts, and deleted scenes are the bomb.
