We got more done today than I anticipated! It started with Laela going to a morning rehearsal for the school musical. Have I mentioned that on here yet?? Man its hard to keep straight what I have and haven’t shared! Anyway. She went there. I sent snacks for the cast since I forgot to follow up with parent volunteers to bring snacks. Whoops. But then we moved forward into the day! I put in two grocery orders, and we got further into the island renovation. I can’t wait to show you guys the change! Ack!!
As the morning progressed, our Costco order arrived, and it was a good sized one. Three boxes of diapers, plus a big thing of toilet paper, four packs of chicken breasts (a good sale!) and just a huge mess of fresh stuff. There wasn’t too much junk in there at all. Oh, except for the big bog of Lindor chocolates 😬 Definitely could’ve done worse though! Lol! It takes me a long time to finish up a Costco order. I cut apart things that come in multiples. Open up packages and unload things in a way that provides ease. Plus a couple veggie items I insist on splitting into lunch sized portions for everyone to take to school and work.
Once everything was put away, Brady was already on his way to Saskatoon to get bloodwork done. Chemo starts again next week, and the meds are not released to him without good happy bloodwork. So he did that and I tried to rest and put my feet up, but only got about 15 minutes of that before the babies rioted. And then Walmart showed up with more groceries 😅 So the rest wasn’t long, but it was something. I got those groceries put away without much fuss at all. It was a much smaller order than Costco.
Brady came home around the same time that Walmart did. We sipped some coffee together for a short time and then got back into the island work. I made the kids go play outside, lol! Dekker wanted to come in way sooner than I thought he should, so I told him he could home in if he was willing to work. And he said yes. So he did lots of entertaining the babies, and some help with the island as well.
Supper time crept up, and I was reminded that I don’t have a stove for a few days. So I pulled out my instant pot. That thing scares the heck out of me. It feels like a whole new thing to learn, so I’ve used it only a few times and rather, I choose to let it hold my kitchen dust, since I really want to preserve that. But today, I tried to be brave and I found a recipe for one pot spaghetti and meatballs, mostly because I found a bag of frozen meatballs in my freezer today when I was unpacking my ten ish bags of frozen broccoli. (I typed “broccoli” as “probably.” I am tired.) I had to relearn how to use the thing, but I have to hang it to that clunky old appliance – it made a great creamy spaghetti meal.
A spaghetti that I ate from the living room, trying to convince the newest family member to drink milk and stop crying. The life of having babies! I wouldn’t trade it!
Everyone is now in bed, and I am ready to lay in bed, and get pictures organized for a birthday blog tomorrow!! 🥳 Better late than never, right??
