Slacker

OK, so I know, I'm slacking on keeping my blog updated lately (Sorry Janice!) It's just the past few weeks have been kinda crazy...remember that last post about all the cans I bought at the various case lot sales? Well, until yesterday they were ALL still stacked on my counters! My sister M and her husband came into town a week and a half ago and we scheduled nonstop parties in their honor.

They are expecting my parents tenth grandson this winter, and we had to celebrate. I planned to spend the weekend at my parents so I wouldn't miss a minute of the fun. But for me the weekend started out rocky, Walnut woke up Friday morning with the stomach flu, and by Sunday morning both twins had started throwing up within an hour of each other, by Sunday night I was hugging the porcelain throne myself and begging TOWW to just take us all home. He did and over the next week Peanut, my mom, sister and sister in law all were blessed with their very own case of the stomach flu. I then spent a couple of days sanitizing everything, carpets, walls, bedding, pillows, windows, and everything that stood still was Lysoled within an inch of it's life! Needless to say I got well enough to participate in the annual Fall consignment sale that I love so much last Thursday, and I'm happy to say that I again made out like a bandit....it's so much fun shopping for a girl! Anyway it's been a crazy couple of weeks but yesterday I finally managed to clean out my pantry and put away all those cases and cases of cans I bought. I even managed to find some room for my big food storage cans and finally cataloged what I have so I can better rotate it. It was a big job but with the little space I had available I'm very happy with the results.
