I kind of realized yesterday why it is that I spend so little time in the kitchen lately.........it's HOT! Yip who wants to spend a day in front of the oven or stove when its 90+ degrees outside!! Bleh, however football season has started in my house and then I am barely home to do anything in the kitchen!
My new quest for this week is to find some easy meals that can stand and await to be eaten that do not require me to stand in front of any hot stove or oven and that will give me the freedom to come and go as I please! With that being said, yesterday was the first day for football really and my oldest son was at football camp and proceeded to break his hand! Now I know that these things happen and cannot be avoided and certainly do not happen on purpose, but man does it mess with a summer schedule!!! hehehehe
I do not wish to wish this summer away at all, but I am looking forward to those wonderful fall days when I can open the windows and doors and have that fragrant fresh air blowing through the house, while enjoying the silence while the children are at school.
Anyway before we know it Halloween will be on the door step with Thanksgiving chomping at the bit to be next, and Christmas will be waiting in the wings to make its Grand Red and Green entrance. Yip you guessed it my favorite time of the year is right around the corner.
Enjoy the HOT HOT HOT summer because my sweet smelling, costume making, pie baking, present wrapping season will be here shortly.

To List or NOT to List, this is the question?
Okay so on the very 1st of June I promised that I would certainly blog more..............well clearly that has not worked out so well for me!
I am struggling to find content to blog about. I know a man who makes lists about everything, I am serious about EVERYthing! So I guess this is the root that I will have to follow from now on. I am just not getting around to everything that I need to be getting around to and I have certainly needed to put out some fires because of that! So lists it will be!
I just have to find the right system that will work for me, do I list the things that I need to do around the house first and then list what I should prep for dinner and then what area of my real job I will be attending to and then make a list of how I will entertain the kids for the last month of their summer vacation? Whew pretty soon I will be making a list to tell me which list to tackle first! However I still think that the list thing is for me.
Maybe if I start with a basic list............1. wake up...........2. eat.................3. shower.............4. eat.................5. shower....................6. go to sleep! Yeah maybe that's a little tooo basic!
I think that I will start by splitting my day in 3. I am just one of those people who can't do anything until the house is clean, so I think that I will start with that in the first part of my day and then dedicate the second part of my day to doing my real job and save the last part of my day for odds and ends with the kids and folding that laundry that I never go through in the morning. Yeah, that's a plan I think I will try that for a week and get back to you on how that has all worked out for me!
Let me know who of you list and don't list.
