It’s a busy Saturday

With my list made out – I was ready for the day! 

First things first – I needed to do some laundry. My Mom always says that I do way too much laundry and I guess she might be right. But I like the sound in the house and if it is a bad habit at least it’s a clean habit 🙂 

Then unload and load the dish washer and hand wash the rest of the dishes. Check it off the list.

Now try to make my hair look not so bad and then off to get some groceries and other stuff in town. I laughed when I lifted the back up for the groceries and had to make room for them because I went to the farm store first. Yup, this is how I roll on a Saturday.

I’m trying some pellets for the little peacocks that are stuck in the chicken coop. When I gave them this feed, they just looked at me like ‘where’s the bread?’

I beat it back home so I could get some dinner in the oven and keep moving along with my list. Today’s dinner was going to be meatloaf because it’s an easy thing to make and to warm up later. I like to use Daryl’s mom’s recipe because it has normal stuff in it. Here’s the recipe

Well just as I was putting the meatloaf and green bean casserole in the oven the phone rings and it’s Daryl. He needed something from the farm store and could I run back to town and get it for him. He was in the field and didn’t want to stop.

OK, no problem.

Now normally I don’t like to leave with the oven going, but heck I literally plan on only being gone for 25 minutes Max! This time I really didn’t care about my hair. Just saying.

And just as I pulled into the yard from running the last errand in town, Daryl was there with the tractor and wagons. Good timing.

Well with the meatloaf and bean casserole done, and the oven was still hot, I put a couple of trays of bacon in to cook for this coming week. It’s a fast thing to grab when you’re in a hurry and what you do is bake it so all you have to do is warm it up when you want to use it later. Pretty slick if you ask me!

The next thing to do was to wrap some soap and then start making some Bath Fizzys and Aloe Bath Bombs. These things are small but it literally took all afternoon to get this done. And I think my nose had too many smells going on this afternoon because I ended up with the worst headache. But I did get them done so that’s all that really matters. I had to deliver them tonight so I didn’t have a choice if I was going to get them done or not. Check it off the list.

I literally jumped into the shower and with the car packed I headed out to a Fund Raiser for my cousin. They had a great turnout and I was sure glad that I went.

By the time I got home Daryl was in the house for the night. Whew! What a busy and productive day I had. I sure hope I have a good day tomorrow too!
