The Jackson Family Online

I was literally in bed last night by 6pm. I didn’t go to sleep until just after 7pm…but wow I never thought my Friday evenings would look like that. It used to be that Mark and I would maybe go out on Friday night and more recently that the girls and I might have gone out….but I was too tired. I did finish a book about the holocaust, I always enjoy books based on real history. Beyond that I tried to watch tv with the kids and could tell I just couldn’t stay awake. Told them what time to go to bed and said I was calling it a night. Can’t imagine what I’ll be like when I’m 80 years old:). I knew I’d end up waking up early this morning but figured it would give me some quiet time before the girls got up that I would enjoy.
We did make the brownies last night…and the pudding is instant. Our brownies are unusually rich I think but I couldn’t find the chips so got the Andes mint candies and probably put in more maybe than I should’ve …who knows. just know that they will be very moist, rich brownies…I can make the sacrifice:).
I looked out the window this morning to see the snow that we were supposed to get, it went back and forth many times with some saying 3 or more inches expected, but in the end I think we got about an inch, mostly rain. I’m thankful that my awning over my back door and the thing I put over the drain seem to be helping so that I don’t have any leaking in my closet anymore…hallelujah!! The spring will be the true test but I’m encouraged that maybe the problem is taken care of.
So…here goes another day. I’ll work hard today I’m sure…but also have times of rest, I could see myself taking a nap later in the day, reading a book, watching a movie possibly, and doing a lot of housework inbetween all of that. It will be a great day to be at home, when you don’t get those days everyday the ones you do get are treasured!
Have a great Saturday,
Love,
Ruth
