A normal, boring woman as usual……

DS2 just turned 3 months old this past Monday and it occurred to me that DH has less than 2 weeks to go before he returns to work.  He wished he could have taken three more months from work because he loved being at home with the “guys”, but he doesn’t want to risk missing out on his job.  For the past three months, he did his share of housekeeping, played with the boys, cuddled with me, even started the spring cleaning so early that whatever the items that were hardly used, were put on eBay, UsedRegina.com, and even the local Bargain Hunter magazine.  He even let me have my time to get some of the crafting done, including sewing.  It was a nice feeling getting back to what I love the most.  But for the cooking part, it was in a total WHACK.  The majority of the time were spent on eating 6 small meals a day on different foods (DH is an oriental noodles fan while I crave for veggie wraps and sandwiches ANY TIME of the day, and DS1 lives for Pizza pops and fruit and veggies).  But we make the effort for slow cooker meals and homemade “fast food” so I didn’t have to get out to pick up take out at all.  There were just twice each month that DH wanted me to take a break from cooking for eating out for breakfast at McDonalds’ as a family together (hey, I love Breakfast Burritos and Fruit Parfait!).

With the warm weather approaching, I cannot wait to go outside with the boys.  I can imagine DS1 exploring while DS2 enjoying the warmth from the carseat-stroller.  I also cannot wait to get flowers to plant along the suite, as well as fully fill up two propane tanks for the BBQ season.  I know it is sad to leave the stove yearning for cooking and baking, but at least I might even save some power for the season.  I have started the herb garden and I realized I got so many,………………………………..herb plants for sale, anyone?  Yes, I saved some for myself, but the rest?  Anyone? LOL

I should get back to spending time with DH before he gets back to work.  But hey, he gets two weeks off in July :).
