June 17, 2008

Today was pretty productive for me. I got one load of laundry folded and another that is waiting to be folded. That's one of the cool parts of being off work. I can keep up on laundry and not have to do it all in two days.

While the kids were at camp I went and did the grocery shopping. I got all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruit again this week. I'm trying to keep that stocked and not buy things like cookies this summer. Even the popcycles I bought are no sugar added fruit bars. The kids like them just as much as the frozen sugar water ones.

After lunch was when I really got busy, though. That's when I made beds and worked on laundry. Michaela and I made a gift for the girl she's exchanging shoe boxes with this week. She also made a swap to go in the box. The craft I bought does not fit in our box so I'll go buy some sun catchers tomorrow when the kids go to camp and then take it to the post office.

Then, I went to work in the kitchen. I took care of dishes and washed down all the counter tops, stove and table. This meant it was time to drag out all the produce I bought. These are the things I took care of:
  • Cut up two cantaloupes
  • Cleaned, de-stemmed and cut up 2 lbs of strawberries
  • Cleaned and de-stemmed another pound of strawberries to eat whole
  • Cleaned a container each of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and put into bowls
  • Washed all the apples, grapes, pears and plums I bought
  • Washed and cut up carrots, celery and cauliflower
  • Peeled and sliced a cucumber
Now there is no excuse to eat junk for snacks. I put out most of this at supper time, too to go with our Sloppy Joes.
