I turned around and somehow time has escaped. I've been trying to find its hiding place or track it down on the Internet, I've called government offices and the local pound but nobody has seen it. Not sure where time is off to but it sure is fast, leaving me to wonder if I'd ever catch up again. We've had a wonderful educating time at the babywearing school. Got to exercise my brain by translating German/English, English/German. Once I translated when the person was speaking English and everybody understood. I think only one person in the room caught me. The Fall is here and the leaves have turned into an ocean of beautiful colors up the canyons. We live in a Valley, Canyons all around us. We took a trip to a mountain lake one day enjoying the wondrous nature we've been blessed with. Nothing better than being out in nature seeing your children play with all nature has to offer. No plastic toys, no cars, no streets, no cell phone, just pine cones, rocks, chipmunks, evergreens, leave trees, cold clear water, branches, needles, and an occasional beaver hiding. That's living.
I recently read in an article that it is not the cooking that stresses mothers out, it is the trying to figure out what to cook that does. I can see that so my question is, why don't we have more Websites telling us what to cook or maybe e-mail recipes every day? Is there a place where I can sign up that tells me on Monday morning what to shop for in order to cook all meals all week, along with the recipes for every day. Even better would be if this site could see what is on sale at my local grocery store and then plan a weekly menu with the items that are on sale. I only shop once a week so this would have to include everything for the week. Of course it couldn't just be processed food and should include some of our garden vegetable during the Summer and some homemade canned goods for the Winter. Preferably it would take my children's tastes into consideration and plan meals with at least a couple of items for each child that they like. Maybe some ideas how to creatively arrange it would be good too. If there is someone wanting to help cook would even be better yet. Well I just realized what I am looking for is not someone to help me with my shopping or cooking, it is a mother. Mothers do it all and don't get paid for it. I'll just continue to do it all and be happy to be a mother.
I had a great workout the other day with my toddler on my back for several hours cleaning the house. I could tell in my legs that I need to do a little more weight lifting. I better find the dumbbells to start doing some real exercise . I think my cow might have borrowed them, she always has strong legs and can jump any fence, even the cattle panels. She doesn't quite jump them, just plows them over. I guess tomorrow will be a good day to start lifting weights, something I've been saying many tomorrows. I do have some German chocolate to work off. My nephew had this tiny suitcase and half of it was filled with the yummiest creamiest German chocolate. Not sure if he was wearing 10 outfits or if he was really able to fit the chocolate and his clothes into this tiny suitcase. Whatever he fit in there coming here, we did get him a couple of real size suitcases for his way back. He'll need them, he likes shopping as probably most teenagers do.
