I've been bad about posting, I vow to make more of an effort.
My days go by in a blur and haze of chaos lately. I learned to can this year, it all started with Dandelion Jelly. Yep those little yellow flowers my Mom never wanted. I have canned just about anything I can get my hands on this year Peaches, Cherries, Pears, Apples. I even made pickles!
I'm processing pears tonight and tomorrow so that I can go get more pears :)
I have been so bad about wasting food in my lifetime I am ashamed to say, so when I went through the pears that have sat on my porch for oh say a month or so I had some bad ones, I some that were only half bad, I had some that had bad spots and I had some that were fine, I now have a 5 gallon bucket almost full of pear, apple and red pepper scraps that I can take out to my friends house and feed her piggies! We also go out and get more pears at a friends house.
My hubby started a new job about a month ago so I need to get back to budgeting things, I am a horrible failure at living within or below our means so that is what I will be working on along with getting rid of A LOT of our possessions crap, belongs, stuff and such. We have way too much and I'm tired of cleaning up after people (hubby and children alike) I feel unappreciated and quite like a maid.
Goals for this weekend:

Goals for this weekend:
- Clean out the home school/dinning room I have boxes in there and they need to be gone through.
- Sort through the laundry upstairs or at least 1/2 of it, and get rid of 3/4 of what I go through! (I made charts on what the kids need clothing-wise and it's really more than a child needs so we'll be going off that from now on
- Enjoy time with my family, the hubby has the weekend off!
Have a great rest of the week!
