Friday, Such a nice decision.

I am telling you deciding to take Friday's off was one of the best if not the best decision I have made in a long time.  Even thought I still may do some sewing on Friday I do not have to greet clients.

I had things to do this morning, like getting my nails done and going to get a list of essentials like, dog, cat,chicken feed.  I did not even worry about leaving the house.  I just went. 

Going to a 4 day work week will not hurt my business at all and it will give me more time to relax and do the things I want to do.

I tryed hard to get the house cleaned yesterday with my timer method and it was a total failure, as I had client after client.  I was trying to make meatloaves for Lil sis and I and also help the grandkids frost cookies.  Actually I frosted and they decorated and I am sure glad I waited to clean the kitchen area until after they were done.  Sprinkles every where. See pictures of my mess throughout blog, this was just me! No help from grand kids, that came later.

A good friend came over to pick up a quilt top I had done and she is going to quilt it for me.  Which is great as I cannot see any time in the far flung future that I will get it done.

We had expected 10 cross country runners and parents this evening, but now we are down to five.  I was not worried about sleeping or feeding them, but showers were going to be an issue with our one hot water tank.  Hubs got permission to shower all the runners at the high school.  He has the keys we will just send over a large bag of towels, cloths, soap and hair products. We can handle the adult bathing here. Don't know if we will need to provide breakfast, but if we do, I will make BBIT, best breakfast in town and hot cakes.

Anything stainless steel is now a disaster!

 

BBIT is one pound of bacon, one pound of sausage, chopped onion, chopped cooked potatoes, eggs, all fried together and topped with cheese.  You can feed an army with this and I have everything here, plus niece is bringing me potatoes from the ranch.  Then I can do pancakes from scratch easy. I will have to lay in some milk, and some orange juice.  I will also pull Sis's coffee maker from the garage and run down to lil sis's for some coffee to put in it.

I purposely made a huge batch of cookies so the kids would have snacks when they came. I also took several plates of cookies around this morning to different people in our church that are shut in.  They love those frosted sugar cookies.

See Kim's fairy foot prints?  These will lead you to any room in the house.

Saturday I have to take a large pot of Chili to a church chili feed and a trunck or treat activity.   We will all have treats in the trunks of our cars the kids can go from car to car in the safety of a parking lot.  We will have Kelsa that night and then probably through Monday as she is here Monday anyway.  I don't know for sure.  But it will be a busy weekend.  I also think the runner's will be here Saturday evening as well, but they can go to the chili feed.  It is a 10 hour drive back to their home town in Idaho.

Front door handle with flour on it.

Anyway, I have a bathroom to clean, and a bed to make, I have the beans soaking for chili and the meat thawing.  There will be left over meat loaf for dinner.

I think I will take a nap!

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
