Saturday

Today is Saturday.  I generally enjoy Saturdays.  It is typically the one day of the week when I do NOT have to get up at any predetermined time.  I can stay up as late as I want on Friday, and still get my 8 hours of sleep, because I do not have to do anything in particular on Saturday.  Today was one of those Saturdays and it was wonderful.

I was able to sleep in and take my time with getting things done today.  I feel like I accomplished quite a bit today.  I:

• Washed the sheets on my bed and then put them all back on
• Washed all of our towels and other "whites" and put everything up
• Vacuumed my bedroom
• Bought groceries
• Helped Makenna wash two of her loads of laundry and dry them
• Cooked 5 lbs of ground beef and put it away in the freezer to use for meals later
• Made a re-usable checklist for daily tasks that I need to complete

I was hoping that Jason and RJ would be home today but they decided to stay one more day and hunt tomorrow morning.  Jason did send me this picture.

He said that RJ "kinda" shot this turkey today.  I'm not exactly sure what "kinda" shot means, but I know that RJ is completely stoked about this. 

It also means that we will have turkey for dinner for sure coming up.  Hopefully it will be ground turkey, I feel we will eat that the best.

Today has been another evening of just Makenna and myself at home.  Hayden popped in briefly and then was gone again.  He is staying the night with a friend tonight.  He did say that he would meet me in the morning for Church.  He really is a good kid.  It is so very hard for me to believe that he is a Senior and that in 5 months he will be graduating from high school.

I have been trying really hard to not be overly restrictive with his activities with his friends.  Every fiber in my body wants to just say "no" and make him stay at home with me but I know that I have to let him go, so I resist the urge to say "no" and I let him go out and hang out with his friends and stay the night with them even if it is two nights in a row.

Tomorrow will be a crazy busy day, especially as the day winds down.  We have to get back into the school routine.  The kids have been off for two weeks for Christmas break but now it is time to get back to reality.

Till next time!
