I'm happy to say after the griping yesterday, I got things turned around and had a pretty good day. My house is a lot cleaner. We had an excellent dinner. I went to bed exhausted but so be it.
I find generally if I am restless or feeling ornery, if I can jump in and do some hard work, it helps my mood.
I finished cleaning the family room rug, and cleaned the living room floor.
I cleaned Michael's bathroom. It wasn't horribly dirty, but the floor hadn't been mopped in, like, forever, so that took a minute.Thank God for Swiffer mops.
I made Colton a birthday cake, which turned out wonderfully. Chocolate pound cake with cream cheese rocks.His birthday is today. We also gave him a cute tee shirt.
I had Lesleigh and Colton for dinner last night. I made beef stroganoff, Elva's Salad, strawberries and cream (recipe below) and we had the cake. Turned out wonderfully. Colton hugged me three times before he left. He and Michael ATE like you wouldn't believe. LOL
STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM [easy version]
1 large carton strawberries
vanilla yogurt [about 3/4 cup]
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
Wash and slice strawberries. Mix everything else, and add in berries. Chill.
This recipe came about because I always buy strawberries and they don't get eaten at once, and they don't keep well in the fridge and have to be tossed out. The sour cream/lime juice/sugar combination can be mixed with any fruit. If you want to get fancy you could toast some walnuts or pecans and throw them on top.
