Who knew we all needed this so much?!!
We didn't have anything big on our schedule this week, so I didn't realize how good all of the nothingness would feel!
Monday we slept in, stayed in our jammies, did school work and then I cleaned and reorganized the family room.
Tuesday we picked up a single friend who didn't run screaming when I asked if she would help me clean my house. We've done lots of chick-flick nights, so this time we just cleaned bathrooms and vacuumed before watching North & South (the British version, not the Patrick Swayze version). That whole movie is so worth the last five minutes...sigh...that and the "Look at me. Look at me." part.
One of my dear friends is having all the family in town before an anniversary party. To say this friend has been through a lot in the past year would be an understatement. I happily made an oreo cheesecake for her last night. Actually I made two, and I am so glad I did because you know what happened when I tasted it? It wasn't so great!
Since this was the pre-anniversary party dinner, I had to bring something good to the table, right?! So this morning I ran out to the grocery and bought things to make Colophon Cafe's Peanut Butter pie. Soooo good! Her sweet cousins were there cooking and helping out, and they are going to stash one pie in the freezer for their own little midnight party : )
Tonight I'm making basil turkey burgers, then we're at a friends tomorrow night for dinner, Friday night we're doing pizza with another family and then Saturday night we're out for dinner with friends. No more cooking! Whoo hoo! I am ready to get this kitchen cleaned and just make our coffee and breakfast for the next few days!
Spring Break!!!
Have a super spring break, Julie! :) Looking forward to ours in a few weeks, too. Would love "chick flick" ideas - my daughter and I watched Bride Wars last weekend, and loved it! It's so hard to find good movies that are rated PG (or G!). Any suggestions???
