This past week was tiring, I worked 7/8 days and it surely exhausted me. Paul texted me on Monday evening (the last of my seven days) and said "there is no food in this house". That is right ladies, our fridge was flat out empty. Yesterday I made lasagna from the Pioneer woman and it was amazing! I also made split pea soup so there would be more in the fridge. We had some cabbage so I made chinese chicken salad (minus the chicken cause I was feeling lazy). Then this morning I made Lemon Cranberry scones and they were amazing and then I tried to make this english muffin bread, but only one loaf of it and it turned out um...gross, non risen straight to the trash!
I was tired and my kitties cuddled me, it was a perfect morning!
Little man Eric has been my right hand man this week. Since I was so tired from work I tried to chill in the mornings not to wear myself out. I would wake up, drink tea, read my Bible, cuddle my kitties, watch Downton Abbey (awesome show by the way!!), take a 20 minute nap, go swimming, make lunch, then go to work. Good good days I tell ya, good days. Paul brought home jelly beans from work, the sweet tart kind. My favorite kind ever. I was trying to take a picture of them in my cute owl bowl and then bam, they fell everywhere. The truth behind cute pictures, chaos.
Some of my relaxing before work week. Tv, tea, cats, coffee, staying in bed till 10am, and scones and pears for breakfast when we were out of milk!
Monday was the last day of work in my long stretch, so before I went to work I made sure to get all the laundry done so I could relax on my two days off. (the bathrooms had been cleaned and the floors vacuumed on thursday when I was off).
Tuesday. I woke up at 10, got out of bed at 11, ate breakfast at 11:30, watched Downton Abbey, went swimming at 1pm, then went and did my errands. I have this awesome app on my phone that keeps all my lists separate by store, and it is awesome. I don't know what to do without it anymore!
Today for breakfast I had greek yogure with granola and fresh strawberries! For lunch I had that baguette bread I made the other week (I froze one of the loaves) with some of that homemade lasagna. Yum, yum, yum. And there is my flop of a bread recipe, um, will need to try that one again later.... Oh and my chicken patty, he is one goofy chicken patty.
I went to bible study last night for the first time in years and it was awesome. There were 7 people there, we are talking about the importance of the gospel, and it felt so good to be around people my age and talk about God and the gospel. I can't wait to go again in two weeks (I can only go every other week due to work but still, better than nothing!). :)
Love to all!
wow what a week! I'm glad you were able to fit in some good relaxing time while working so much. I have made that same lasagna from Pioneer woman! I love that recipe, its so delicious! Actually tonight I'm going to use another one of her recipes for herb-roasted chicken. I've made it before and its amazing. I will have to post about it. I'm glad you had such a good time at Bible study!
ReplyDeleteha your jellybean picture made me laugh :) I love all your snuggly pictures and those scones seriously look amazing on the website. The recipe is really similar to the ones I make, so I'll definitely be trying that one out in the next few days! I'm glad you got to take the mornings easy - that is so hard to allow myself to do when working a lot, because I feel like I have so much to get done around the house since I'm not home at all!
