Good Morning...again! ;)

Can you tell I am trying not to do what I am supposed to do???? ;)

A friend visited (virtually) this morning...like uh, 2 mins after I posted a project on Fiskateers...so I just wanted to say Hi Friend! :) Pinky is my new stalker...so I am gonna return the favor and stalk her too! She has an adorable blog... http://www.blueyecicle.blogspot.com/ Plus, us homeschoolers gotta stick together...especially the crazy crafty ones :) Pinky is crazy crafty! and check out those tutorials!!

Oh, and I finally ran out of my super size box of tea that my parents bring me from Canada. SIGH...no more Tetley Orange Pekoe...so I have been sampling others, but yet to find a fav. Sterling (9 year old) and I, since he is my tea drinkin pal, have been consuming Twinnings for the past few days. It was ok, but I am not sold on it. Then we moved to Stash (Portland, OR company!!!) for their English Breakfast...yeah, it's ok...I hate that they use staples...cause to compost the bags, I gotta take them out (another point for Tetley...they do not individually wrap their bags, and the bags are round, with no staples or strings! Very eco friendly!) BUT...then this morning...I found, buried in my bag of tea, ORGANIC Stash Breakfast Blend...I think I have found a new tea!!! I could easily consume it daily...Now I just gotta contact the company and see if I can urge them to use less packaging...no individually wrapped bags, and lose the staples! :)

Ok, back to work...again ;)

Mundane Monday

I should be doing homework. I have an assignment that was due last night, but I just couldn't bring myself to sit here at 10 after I finally got all the kidlets to bed....and I should be doing it right now, but its Monday in Oregon...with a cloud filled sky and a grey world out my window. It's just so blah out there!

I usually can't start my day without visiting the Fiskateers, and having tea...well, I visited the Fiskateers, but did a rather silly thing yesterday and let my kettle boil dry, which I noticed only from the horrid plastic smell. Now, I have a beautiful brushed stainless kitchenaid kettle (the type that costs almost $100 but I got at a Mervyn's sale - Oh I wish there was still Mervyn's here!!! - for $8! I love being a coupon shopper! :)) Anyway, there are only 2 small pieces of plastic on this kettle...and they have never melted before...so you know I did a major thing getting them to melt. Sigh. I am not sure if I am going to use the kettle again...or if it will become decor. The thought of melting plastic and tea just doesn't mesh well for me...Good thing I have excess supply of Paderno pots! No plastic on them! :)

I have math class tonight...which I don't mind, and I am actually looking forward to since I heard that some other BigLots have gotten in new scrap stuff! Not that I should be buying ANYTHING but I gotta at least CHECK the deals ;)

And on that thought...I had better go check my pot...they say the watched pot never boils, but if I don't watch it, who knows what might happen! :)

OMG It's Been Way Too Long!

Ok, so it has been forever and a day. December disappeared on me, and Janauary ran away, but I caught 'er - I think! I started back to school on January 7th, and between that, children (homeschooling), and my "volunteer career" life has disappeared!

I visisted a fellow Fiskateer friend's blog this morning (http://debbysdares.blogspot.com/) and she has a list of 2008 goals in the side bar...Ohh, I like this idea...I think I will be adding my goals, and lifting some of hers! (Great goals Debby!)

Ok, this morning has started...it's Friday, and so far so good! Aoife just woke up (she actually slept through the night! WOO HOOO), so now I gotta go play mommy!

Happy Friday...and maybe I will get to post again!
