5-2-10

9am-10:30am

Got up and popped the stuffed french toast
in the oven. It takes about an hour or
so to bake.

It turned out pretty good.
The creamy cream cheese and strawberry
filling was yummy.
I think next time I would cut down the
milk to about 1/2 to 3/4 cup
and grill these in a skillet.
I like my french toast a little firmer.



Got a load of laundry in as Sunday is
my day to wash clothes.
With warmer weather approaching laundry
shouldn't be so bad or take so long.
Reason being is because of smaller
clothes such as shorts and t-shirts
compared to pants, long sleeve shirts,
jackets and sweaters that make for
less loads of laundry.

Don't know if I'll be hanging laundry
this year. We'll see how it goes
and how my schedule looks.
While it does save money it takes
more of your time to do.

My goal today is to clean up the living
and dining area. I need to move a chair
out of the living room and clean carpet.
I HATE HATE HATE this light colored carpet.
It seems like I just cleaned it a couple
weeks ago and it looks filthy again!

I started working on my $5.00 church sale
curtains. They are way too long and don't
exactly fit in the bay window area.
So I started shortening them up this morning.
Got one done and have two more to do.

My thing is I try to make do with what I have
or can get for cheap and if I have to,
fix it to make it work.



11:40am

Got all the curtain panels hemmed up.
I decided to take it a step further.
Since I have 3 windows in the bow window
I cut the middle panel in half.
That way the curtains would look even
instead of the entire middle panel
being pushed to the right or left
throwing it all off center.

The wind's blowing a lil so
they may look a lil uneven
from blowing outwards.



Looks so much better having the
middle panel split to be even on both sides.
I still need to iron them but
not right at this moment with
everything else I have to get done!
I did end up making another valance
out of the fabric I used for the chair cushions.
It still needs a little something.
I'm thinking maybe some bead trim.




Time to retire the sewing machine
for awhile. Got so many other
things I gotta get done!

SUPPERS

Typical kitchen in our house. Every burner going
and then some. Tonight's supper, lunches
and supper for tomorrow.




It's so humid in here from rain, cleaning
carpets today, dryer and then the heat and steam
from cooking and boiling things. Whew!

I was gonna make up some more rolls in the
bread machine & oven for sausage and eggs
sandwiches to put in the freezer.
I decided I'll do it another day.
Kids have cereal to eat for now for breakfast.

Ok gotta go check laundry. Then put it all away.
I'd like a slow down!
Mom's never get a day off or a vacation!
