Blah blah blah

It's homecoming tomorrow. I will force myself, sorta, to go to the football game tomorrow night. I do wanna see the kids play, yet I am sooo pooped and doubt I will snap out of it by tomorrow night. Lots going on this evening... LOTS! I will need to get paid triple in about an hour and a half. Simply because one person shouldn't have to subject themselves to so much and so much work! I would love to go to sleep right now. In fact my vision is kinda going blurry....probably because I just can't hold my eyes open for too much longer.
I am STILL getting maters...STILL canning....STILL not doing much else cept canning maters, (along with eating them!) Probably need to make a few jars of salsa this weekend too. I am running out of room to put it all! Right now I have at least a dozen quart jars full of maters sitting on the kitchen counter...with no place to go. It's driving me NUTS! But on the other hand....they sure do look pretty. Makes me feel proud....out of little bitty mater plants, green bean seeds and cuke seeds and a little tlc, we have gotten lots and lots of veggies that I have turned around and canned. We'll have plenty to eat in the winter. Lots of veggies and lots of meat. Been thinking about possibly not buying bread anymore and just baking it one a week. Never know... it just might be cheaper. Even if I bought a big sack of 100% whole grain wheat to make the bread. Been a long time since I've baked bread. Maybe a banana bread now and then, but not very often.
Never got strawberries from the 25 plants. Darn it! I have a feeling we have on e season strawberries. Which means hubby read that he was supposed to pluck off the first blooms to stimulate the root growth, then we will have lots of everbearing strawberries. Nope... no strawberries. So maybe next year? Maybe before the family reunion so I can make some jam and take a few small jars of it? I really am craving strawberries... without sugar too. Just fresh strawberries. Maybe a few on top of an angel food cake would be yummy. mmmm
Except for part of Saturday (craft fair in town) I will be peeling and chopping and canning again. When will it end?? I want to have a NORMAL weekend of just doing laundry, maybe going to my favorite shopping city for a day out. It will all be worth the long hours working on the veggies this winter... but it doesn't do a thing for me right now.
