What's for dinner?

I couldn't help myself, busy as I am I had to blog about this. This is a true story, seriously, who could make this up:
This morning Brian mentioned that he was going to be working at animal control this week. Courtney jumped on this as an opportunity to ask for the bunny she has been hoping to get for quite some time now. Brian proceeded to tell her (again, NOT kidding) that we couldn't get a bunny because if we couldn't afford to feed it, we would have to EAT it! I know times are troubled, but I'm almost sure we could afford to feed a bunny. I'm equally sure that we can afford to eat without turning to the family pets as dinner. I was laughing at him by this point, that is what you do when someone is being ridiculous. Tell her you don't want a bunny, tell her we don't have a place for a bunny, tell her I won't let her have a bunny, but don't tell her she can't have a bunny because you are going to eat it. Seriously ridiculous! I am still laughing just thinking about him having this conversation with her. He knows for a fact that I won't ever eat something that had a name. Fluffy, Fido, Bessy, I don't care, I won't eat it. Maybe you should check the bird cage and the fish tank before you eat anything Brian serves for dinner, times are tough.

Give up, it doesn't get any better

Ok, maybe that was a little bleak, but frankly, I am tired of being tired. I haven't even had time to look at anyone's blogs or blog myself in like...forever. I keep telling myself that I'm doing good and getting lots done, but there is always more to do. I canned 65 bottles of peaches, 38 bottles of chicken, 24 bottles of grape juice...It was a canning frenzy. I need to freeze some zucchini for the winter (I bottled it once, it just turns to mush). I forgot, I made salsa too. Scott asked me where I got the chickens from, because the peaches, grapes and tomatoes came from our yard. I think they came from Ryan's room, have you smelled it in there? Although from the noise and sounds coming out, the chickens could be in Scott's room.
I like my new church calling and have really enjoyed going to the different primary programs in the stake. I am so impressed by how unique each program is. I have been to 5 so far, 3 next month and 1 in November. I do miss going to our ward though, and I miss hearing Liz's lesson.
I am glad I take the time to scrapbook for a couple hours once a week, if not for that all I would do is run run run. Work, home, church, PTA, sewing, blah blah blah. I was hoping that blogging would make me feel better, but I really need to clean the house and do some sewing. This week I have scrapbook group, book group, card club, round table, community council, aargh, I'm getting tired just thinking about it. Oh, we're feeding the missionaries on Wednesday. I hope I don't forget, I'll end up feeding them ramen noodles with sliced hot dogs.
I give up.
Just kidding, no I'm not, yes I am, no I'm not, yes I am. We'll see. I had better get moving, the list only gets longer, never shorter. I can't even sit and watch my thursday line-up this week. Boo hoo. Well, that seems like a whole lot of me feeling sorry for myself. I'll live, I always do, and honestly I like being busy, just not this busy.

what happened?

So i thought i was in control of my life, had a pretty good grip on it all, i should have known better. When has that ever...ever happened? I am taking the precious few tub moments i have to blog because i won't even have time to turn on my computer for days. I love peaches so this isn't a complain't about my peaches, just their timing. I don't have time to bottle them and have all the fun peach festivities right now. Do my peaches care about my overloaded schedule? Nooooo. I had a mini meltdown yesterday and was up til one a.m. canning. I hope I can cope a bit better today. Audrey told me peaches are selling for 40 dollars a bushel...that helps me cope and appreciate my peaches a bit more. I let my sewing get away from me a tad too so that doesn't help the stress. One way or another i'll live. On the bright side, Liz, peach something for dessert tonight. Becka, more bottled peaches coming your way soon. Scott, i'll try to leave you a dessert to eat in the middle of the night. LM, you may just benefit from this craziness too (so don't take a tone with me). Off to another insane day!
