The Labor Day Blog

Hi. I hope everyone had a great Labor Day. I was awakened by my husband at 9:00AM this morning. He reminded me that I had to pick out a recipe from one of my recipe books to make for dinner one day this week(no, I haven't counted them yet, but there are quite a lot of them), so, sleepily, I dragged myself out of my nice, warm bed into the kitchen and opened up the kitchen cabinet. I went thru two cookbooks until I settled on a recipe for Noodles with Bleu Cheese from The Frugal Gourmet cookbook by Jeff Smith. I gave him the list of ingredients I needed to prepare this culinary delight(he was going grocery shopping today), and without any further ado, I went back to sleep. Our daughter was still sleeping, so I figured I'd try to catch some more zzz's myself.

The next thing I knew, it was 1PM. Again, I was awakened by my husband. What the hell? I had been asleep off & on over ten hours! Our daughter was still sleeping too. Time to definitely get up. I had missed my morning coffee, "Maury", & "Family Court With Judge Penny". You know I was beyond pissed, but my husband, bless his heart, had decided to let me sleep. I stayed up last night till about midnight or one o'clock.

We had some homemade Boboli pizza for lunch(delicious), we spent time playing with our daughter, and then he took a nap. I thought she wasn't going to nap since she had gotten up so late. Was I wrong! She took an hour nap after playing with her toys. I talked to my mother about some things going on tomorrow, and after I got off the phone, she got up.

Tomorrow, we're off to the dentist, and then, I have the rest of the day to myself. It's good to get out sometimes, especially if you are the parent of a toddler. It recharges your batteries, so to speak. My husband is off work tomorrow and Wednesday, so he will be doing toddler duty. He's a great father.

Have a great evening. JA
