Typical day at the office

Happy Friday, peeps!

How is your day shaping up?

I was up at 6am along with the birds....baking cookies for school lunches, making breakfast which consists of a multitude of menus.......oatmeal for some, hot buckwheat groats for others, scrambled eggs, oh yeah, and a little someone always has their warm homemade muffin. I think I forgot to add the school lunch making frenzy in there. It's all gotta be done by 7:30, so we can be dressed and out the door shortly thereafter!

I finally finished up the cutest little skirt, and I feel a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes it's the little things in life that make me smile. I feel like I have something to show for my day, other than a pile of fold laundry and dirty dishes to load for the umpteenth time into the dishwasher. I'm not knocking the dirty work, because someone's gotta do that, too. Let me say this, I was under the weather over the weekend, and I sure appreciated my sweet husband helping out with the dishes. It always amazes me how quickly the dirty things pile up. Dishes, laundry, messy house.....

Did groceries and was back home by 10:30am....unloaded the food and fresh produce. Started in on a batch of fresh bread. Today's special is hot cross buns. I made a humble attempt at the hot cross buns last weekend, but they did not turn out like I had pictured. (They're still tasty, but a different texture than I was expecting.) As I am typing, the bread is rising, so let's hope I have success this time around.

Success! These are as good as they look!
