Well, today was a busy day, but a productive one! So much fun had today and a lot of chores as well, now that is what I call a weekend!
This morning we started off our day with the putting together of a new stroller. David did a great job and followed the manual to a T lol. We always laugh because some parent reviews are written by people who CLEARLY did not read the manual when they were putting together their stroller/bouncer/baby toy with excessive parts. The one thing that we kept reading in this stroller's parent reviews were a couple of people who said the front wheel was too wobbly. Well, in the manual there is an actual SECTION of "if your front tire is wobbly, you need to tighten a particular part because it was not installed correctly." I gotta say, it comes in REAL handy having a husband who is a stickler for details and a GENIUS...think Alberty Einstein folks...when putting together our kids multiple piece items.
We followed the stroller with a breakfast of Honey Bran and Raisin Bran muffins...so yum! Then we were off doing various chores and errands for the day. Joel got a haircut and wasn't bothered by it too much so YEA for that! Then he got to go to a fabulous Pirate Birthday party for our church friend and neighbor...we are so blessed to have so many kids his age in this area!
Tonight my arm was feeling a bit better so I was able to do a whole load of laundry...AMAZING! (ok Joel helped me put the clothes IN the was and shove them INTO the dryer but I turned the knobs and added the detergent!) So that is one less load David has to do...tomorrow I am going to try and tackle the sheets and towels in the house....I am feeling ADVENTUROUS enough to give it a try :-) Then just because I was on a ROLL, I gave Joel a bath and washed his hair! WOO HOO look at the one armed mommy go! I felt truly blessed to have the energy to do that tonight. The reason is because along WITH my RA comes a lot of symptoms...one big one is anemia...which totally wipes me out. So along with painful hands and feet, being tired...REALLY tired, has been par for the course for me in the last week or so. Today I pushed through and was able to feel like I was getting things done. HAPPY MOMENTS!
-We ended our family fun day today with some Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner....never had them? I am pretty sure they are NOT Hawaiian, but in fact some creation of some Mormon housewife in Utah who put it together and since crushed pineapple is an ingredient, she named them Hawaiian Haystacks...the hay being the rice and the chow mein noodles (I am REALLY making you curious about this concoction now aren't I?? lol) If you read this and want the recipe...although it varies on what crazy ingredient YOU decide to add lol, I am happy to give it to you!) Well that is all for tonight. Off to play some games on the computer, or watch an episode of Gilmore Girls from my DVD collection. Love to you all and I hope you were productive AND happy today as well!
