Lots to do!

As is true for almost everyone I imagine.  I do try to be reasonable and not get crazy about things.  My house could be a little cleaner right now and I have no idea what room we're even in for the FlyLady mission, but that's okay.

Yesterday was another busy day in part because I didn't look at my calendar.  Mistake.  I knew I was working a few hours for KitchenAid and even the hours, I knew I wasn't shopping for groceries, and I knew that we had to get a Christmas present.  Once I looked at the calendar the day changed and worked fine with the assistance of my husband. 

Sunday - church at 8 am, then Publix, home to make a Loving Meal (written on the calendar), make breakfast, wash a load of laundry, dry, fold, put away, pull frozen something out for dinner, off to the mall to work, home at 4:30, write up my report, start dinner, deliver the meal, second load of laundry, dinner, fold, put away laundry, run to the mall, got the gift, home and relax. 

My husband had asked what was for dinner and I really was not sure.  The label said "RR Chicken".  I knew that meant Rachael Ray, but not sure what recipe, where I had left off and what needed to be done.  I heated it, added a little gruyere cheese, fresh broccoli and served it over noodles.  It had chicken in it too.  It was good.  Thankfully.  Tonight we're having quiche and salad, the quiche was in the freezer. 

I went to Jazzercise this morning so I had no excuse to miss it tonight.  My friend Kevin will be calling soon and she and I will head to Costco to get party food.  Tomorrow we will cook and serve the party food to the Beacon of Hope clients.

Our menu for 50:

• Vegetable Tray
• Cheese and Crackers
• Boneless Rib Eye Roast
• Holiday Potato Casserole
• Green Beans
• Bread of some kind
• Birthday cake for Jesus
• Chocolate cake
• Maybe cheesecake

Tomorrow's cooking shouldn't be bad.  Costco is helping us greatly.  I need to organize plating, chafing dishes, etc, and I guess that will be tonight when we are positive about the menu. 

I have been feeding the birds even though the hummingbirds are gone.  I keep one feeder up for them.  I see several different woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, bluebirds, brown wrens, cardinals and some I don't know.  I'm trying for pictures but birds are fast.  I take time to watch them.
