Spring Planting Confessions

It’s that time of year when Knut is in the fields pretty much all the time.  Yesterday the kids got to walk out to our vegetable garden and hop in the tractor as he drove by, so we do see him.  Last night he got to come home to sleep between 8pm and 1am.  So before I went to bed I stuck an egg bake in the oven so that it would be done by the time he woke up.  I think he loved that!

Although I think my house is looking pretty clean since a baby shower I threw last week, and I’m actually staying on top of the dishes and laundry for once.  We even have homemade cookies in the house.  (However, the basement/playroom, my bedroom and the upstairs hallway and bathroom are a mess.  I’ve come to find out it is impossible for my whole house to be clean at the same time.)

Yesterday we ran errands in town and I came home feeling like I had lifted weights for 3 hours.  (Why is running errands so exhausting?  I’ll give you 4 reasons…)  So what does a farm wife do when there is no one here when I’m home all day to curb me in?

Today,
-I have no intention of changing out of my p.j.s
-I ate peanut butter cookies for breakfast
-I may turn on the television and park the boys for school today. (Still debating this one)  Seriously, I need a break.
-I’m going to watch some Netflix movie during naptime today instead of doing something farm-wifey.
-I’m going to let the kids make an even bigger mess of the basement by making some castle or something. 
-We’re going to paint some pictures for “Daddy’s office.”
-I want to actually clean the upstairs rooms that are dirty.  (OK, that isn’t a luxury or wild depending how you look at it.  If you saw how bad it was, you’d understand how good it’s going to feel to have it clean.)
-Work on Silje’s quilt some more…maybe during Netflix time.
-I will only be enticed into my garden today if it gets nice and warm.   O wait, that will require that I change out of p.j.s.  Never mind.
