It's been a few days!

I sure have been busy!!

Keeping "real" food on our table breakfast, lunch and dinner has been an adventure!! I have found making stuff ahead of time and freezing it to be used through out the week has been a great time saver. For example... Friday I scored a HUGE deal on bananas! They werent already turning a bit brown... but they I am using them to make banana breads and whole wheat banana pancakes! Sooo... it was perfect for us!!! I am making enough pancakes and breads that there should be plenty in the freezer for a few weeks to come!

The Granola bars and Energy bars I made were a HUGE hit too! They have been going in with lunches, after school snacks... even Stacy is enjoying them! AND... NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives!!!

I am still averaging a loaf of bread a day. And getting real creative with different kinds of sandwiches!

The shop has been keeping me busy lately too! Which is pretty surprising to me! I thought for sure it would be slow until Spring hit... BUT, I was wrong. My phone has been ringing quite a bit... and I have some full days coming up!! Plus some training clients starting!! :-)

Let's see... other stuff going on...
I have been busy with my Mom lately. Took her to the Auction with us Friday nite.
And have a Farm Show date with her and the kids this week... plus a day going to be spent learing my great grandmothers recipe for Ham and Green beans!

This week is going to be a CRAZY week!!! Appt with my Mom on Monday... plus Stacy and I have our first couples therapy. I have to go back to Domestic Relations for a hearing with Courtney's sperm donor on Friday. The mere dollars I am suppose to get in Child Support... yet I havent bee receiving lately, is apparently too much for his loser ass!! He wants it decreased... because he just down right refuses to get a full time job... or even 2 part time jobs!! Oh well... I am fighting it.
I also want to take the kids to the farm show... but I have to plan that around the shop appts and all the other appts I have coming up this week!

We managed to make time for "US" yesterday. Stacy, Britt and I (along with Gunner and Sakari) went for a brutal hike!! Im sure we logged between 6 and 8 miles... UP the a mountain. I am REALLY feeling it today!!
I was sweating my ass off... since we didnt expect it to hit 60 degrees... and we wore our under armour! I stipped down as soon as we got back to the truck!
Gunner is getting better at NOT barking at ppl... he has sure come along way. Yesterday's "test" was other dogs! As the day went on... he got better and better. But the ppl that didnt use leashes REALLY pissed me off! Sakari did GREAT!! She seemed to really enjoy the hike... and the ppl.
All in all... it was an awesome day! It will probably take me a day or two to shake the pain in my back... but it was all worth it! Yesterday's hike will have to hold me for awhile... because I am completely booked in my shop next weekend... no time for a hike!

Stacy is taking down all of our outside Christmas lights today... and some other things that need done around the house. He had to walk the property line and fling the neighbors dog shit back in their yard. LMAO... oh boy.
Brittany and I will be bringing in the E-Lop bunnies today... It's about time to start planning for baby Easter bunnies!!

I guess that about sums up the past few days!! Got to get back to work around here.
