All that to say: I have decided I will do my best to update this blog every Monday - holiday or no. I am, at the moment, sitting and enjoying the smell of freshly baking bread while my little ones have just gone down for a nap. Isn't the beginning of nap time such a delicious feeling? Knowing that at least for the next hour, I can breath. Today, since my wonderful husband is home on a day off we will be watching an episode of HERO's together before we go our separate ways and have some alone time. I am trying to decide if I should attempt an escape to target for an hour. Hold on one moment, let me check my target schedule.....markdowns are as follows:
-Mon. -- Electronics, Kids Clothing, and Stationary (Cards, GiftWrap, etc.)
-Tues. -- Domestics, Women's Clothing, Pets and Market (food items)
-Wed. -- Men's Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty, Lawn & Garden items
-Thur. -- House Wares, Lingerie, Shoes, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books, Decor and Luggage
-Fri. -- Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, & Jewelry
Though I happen to know that my Target marks down toys on Thursdays and House ware's on Fridays. My husband tells me I have a problem. I just consider it being a savy shopper! Hmmm....Wednesdays are lawn and garden and so the window box I am watching is most likely still at the 50% off. I would like it to plant my baby herb garden in now that they are big enough to ask so nicely to be taken out of their tiny pots. And it will be a wonderful project for Taylor and I. Is it bad I want to name my tiny herbs? I always know I have affection for something when I have the urge to name it. I shall ask Taylor if it needs a name and will update you all with her answer.
My list does not include kitchen....Hmmmm. Will have to search for a more complete list. I am watching a few items there - and for those interested, the electronics will most likely be clearance in the next 2 weeks...alright. I admit it. My name is Sarah - and I am a TargetClearanceHolic.
Had a lovely weekend away with my wonderful husband, but I will not speak of that. For one thing it would bore half of you and disgust the rest. And for another...when something is truly so wonderful it is almost dreamlike...I don't like talking about it in case it turns out not to be real after all. That is also the reason I hate taking pictures on trips like that. Who really wants to see pictures of us without the kids anyway?
I have decided to post here on my blog-thingy once a week. While posting, I intend on enlightening the general public on several things - #1: What I learned from my children in the past 7 days. #2: What new recipes I have decided to try #3: I vow to include at least one new picture of my ever changing little ones and #4: I will begin and end with whatever I jolly well please.
So that means I have some catching up to do. Firstly (is that a word?) I have learned from Taylor that according to God she no longer has to go potty. Now, her and I have had a disagreement about this but she remains adamant and OH MY BREAD IS DONE! er...sorry...I just love fresh bread so much! Anyhow, I informed my little one that God does in fact want her to go potty - she was, however, not convinced. I then changed my approach. You see, if God did not want us to go potty - Elmo would not sing a song about it. Too true I say! Do you know that on the Sesame Street web page, on the "Elmo Potty Time" game that is all about listening to your body and stopping whatever you are doing to go potty; there is no pause button? I cannot stop it, so that my child can "stop whatever she is doing and go" and start it again when she returns. I am thinking of complaining to the management. Think they will listen?
Secondly, I announced to my wonderful husband yesterday that I will be cooking more soup this winter. For one, I love it. And for two...it is cheap! So I need a good cookbook. What did he do? Did he support me by telling me it was a wonderful idea and gasp at the brilliance of his wonderful wife? No, he laughed. He said I say it every winter and never do. Well! I will show him! Now I need to find a good cookbook so I can be true to my word. I will not be proved wrong! (Yes, yes I know - my stubbornness is predictable and possible even laughable. But it is me and it is true!) My conditions? This cookbook must have pictures next to the recipes. I want to be able to see what it should look like. It must have a good verity without being too exotic (I want chili to be included, but could care less about "Asian inspired black bean, corn and prawn chowder with sweet and sour curry sauce") And lastly I do not want the word "canned" to be included in any of the ingredients of bean or vegetable soups. I want to use real beans and real veggies. Why is this so hard to find? Ah well, the search begins.
And lastly (did I miss anything? Goodness, I promise all my posts will not be so lengthy) I will include some pictures of my very favorite people. Oh, and while we had tons and tons of fun - I am still finding dried beans in corners of my living room as well as corners of my one-years-old's mouth. Enjoy!
A Bean Angel!!
Until next week - be well my friends!!
