nope! Had to make dinner, then had bananas that needed to become something before they spoiled. They are now banana cake with cream cheese frosting. Mr. V approves.
Good morning. Super busy day today. I have an appointment, granny has an appointment, and Morgan has an appointment, and a run to the bank. I've got every second of the day filled.
What a looooooong day! I'm finally home and could throttle Alex. He's had all day to get his chores done but only half did it. Then he gets grumpy with me when I say something about it. I told him that we don't ask for near as much as we should out of him so doing a few simple chores is not asking much. And don't get grumpy with me because you're mad because you actually have to do some thing besides what you want to do. To top it off, I told him to be sure to take the dogs out while I was gone. He says he did but I found five, yes FIVE, pee spots between the living room, kitchen, and hall. FIVE! 
I'm so sick of lazy kids!

How cool are these??

An unusual, hard-to-find strawberry. Plants are vigorous and send out numerous runners. Berries are white, ornately speckled with red seeds, and are a bit bigger than other pineberry varieties. Aroma is outstanding and the pineapple flavor is pleasant and mild. Protect from direct hot sun to keep fruits from developing more pinkish hues. These Pineberries are not self-fertile, they need pollen from a different strawberry variety to produce their distinctive fruit, for best results plant with Fragola di Bosco or Strawberry Purple Wonder. Everbearing.

I got a new kitchen toy! It's a cast iron wok, it has a flat bottom on the outside, and is rounded inside. It needs to be scrubbed and seasoned, so I haven't tried it out yet. Hopefully it will work nicely on my stoopid electric stove!

OK, this thing is going to take a LOT of scrubbing! 
It feels like, instead of having a layer of oil or grease for shipping, they covered it in wax! 
Granted there's no rust, but I'm going to have to heat it, and wipe down with paper towels and scrub and repeat until I can get it off.

Boo hiss on the extra work on the wok pan. It will be sooo worth it when it's ready though!
I need those strawberries!

Good morning. No dogs to groom today so I'm home and going to try to do some more stuff around here. My to do list just doesn't seem to be getting any smaller regardless of how much I get done.
Just a suggestion:
Stop adding items to the list. Delegate any new important items to others until you get caught up or they scream sufficiency loud enough to matter.
Don't listen to me, heck we never had kids, so what do I know?
free advice...
Yep, this!Just a suggestion:

Good morning.
Believe it or not I actually do delegate some of it. But it drives me nuts because the kids do a half azz job so it doesn't feel complete to me. I'm a tad bit OCD. 
Make them keep doing it until they do it correctly. Sonny confessed that he always did a carpy job on dishes so that I'd quit making him do it. Not smart, he just got to do them over, and over, and over. 
Alex, surprisingly, does a better job than Morgan does. And I usually give him more chores than Morgan for a couple of reasons. One, He's at home all day doing nothing. Two, Morgan is at school and he is not. Make sense? I've got a list of places he could potentially do some volunteer work. The sad fact of it is mostly that they are lazy. Just plain lazy. If I did half the stuff they pull on us, I'd most likely not be alive.
makes sense, and yes, find him somewhere to volunteer. Shelters always need dog walkers!
