~Good Morning Ladies~
I hope your days have been going well so far. Its about 10:40am and I got kinda a late start today. Okay so i am going to have a BUSY next couple of days. On Tuesday, my dad is off of work and coming by so we can go do laundry and hang out. On Wednesday Peter and I are going over to my moms so he can mow the yard, and so i can drop off her gifts, and then on Thursday Peter's family is coming over for dinner. I still haven't decided on what to make for the actual dinner, * wanted thank Debbie for all the ideas* I know for dessert i'm goin full out cause Jonya loves desserts. I am going to be making for sure, 1 coconut cream pie, 2 Happy mothers day cakes (one for Jonya one for my mom), Mini filio dough tarts, and some other type of fruit pie. LOL i hope i can bake it all off on time. Anyways, Housework wise i'm swamped today, but that's okay i feel much more awake than i have been in awhile. I actually went to sleep in the bed last nite and didn't just fall asleep on the couch lol.
Something sad happend yesterday, I broke my NEW tea jug (still can think of the name of it lol) the one i was going to make sun tea with! I know it was all my fault, i was so exhausted i didn't even think about how it couldn't go in the dishwasher, so when i went to pull it out, it was all melted =( OH well, Peter said he would buy me a new one today, cause we have to go to wal-mart anyways.
So i hope everyone else is having a productive day, any favorite recipes or cleaning tips are welcome. Today i am doing detailed cleaning in the living room. I didn't really get to it yesterday and i have to start getting some cleanin' done. So aside from my everyday dishes, dusting, sweeping, and cooking i am going to do the following:

Living Room:

* Pick up
*Dust Table/Bookcase
*Vacuum (even under couch)
*Cobwebs
*Clean t.v.
*Put up Entertainment center, or dust current t.v. stand at least
*Clean walls
*Decorate
*Vacuum furniture
*Organize through junk
*Polish table


That's pretty much it for the living room, if i feel up to it will move on to the dining room (that way all i'll have left to detail clean would be the kitchen and bathroom). Wish me luck that i have enough energy for it all. Doesn't seem like much on paper but when i'm up and going it sure seems like a lot more.

Friday

~Hello Ladies,
Sorry i haven't i didn't talk much yesterday, we had a pretty busy day, we left at 12pm and were gone till 9pm! So yesterday Peter and I went and saw the Movie "Forbidden Kingdom" With Jet Li and Jackie Chan. I liked it alot, it wasn't one of Jet Li's best movies but not one of his worst by far. Oh but before we went and saw the movie we went to Winsteads to eat. After we went and saw the movie we went out to get Peter's check and cash it. Then we went to wal-mart where Peter bought me another pair of bamboo knitting needles and a new dress, He's sooo sweet
Finally we went and hung out with Pete's brother Josh for awhile than came home and relaxed. So it was a pretty grand day =)

So tomorrow and the next day will be kinda busy Peter's brother-in-law is graduating (he's been in college for like 10 years!) I haven't decided if i am going or not. I know that Peter really wants me too and its just selfish to not go, but i am nervous (i hate being around a bunch of people i don't know), I'll have to pray on it. Also, Mothers day is the day afterwards and Peter's sister who would usually make all the plans is busy with her husbands graduation party so Pete thinks its up to him to plan something and he doesn't have any idea what to do (neither do i, I am not sure what to do here either cause i need to see my mom on Mothers Day but if Pete is going to invite his family over here i am going to need to be here to clean up and cook.blah) Anyways, i'm sure it will all work out i was just kinda venting lol.

So today's to-do list is:
Breakfast
Pick up Living room/Dining room
Dust living room/dining room
Sweep kitchen
Wipe down walls
Dishes
Clean Counters/Island
Lunch
Vacuum
Organize through dvd's
Organize Bookcase
Clean cuboards
Make grocery list
Check Coupons
Feed Critters
Change Bedding
Call mom/and dad
Bible
Think of gift for mom
Knit
Dinner

So thats pretty much it for today, I don't think we are doing anything too strenous today lol. Hope you girls are having a wonderful day =)

Your friend,
Chelsea

Monday Afternoon 5/5

So here is my update thus far, Its been a pretty quiet day. Sorry about the vent earlier, but i have to admit that i feel much better lol.Anyways, my schedule got all wacky and so i ahd to make a new one. I have been sticking to it so far. Right now i am watching i love lucy, i might pop in "Prize winner.." here in a bit, its always nice to have it on in the background while i am cleaning. So dinner tonight is pasta and pasta sauce. And some sort of breadstick (there is a recipe at www.hillbillyhousewife.com)
Otherwise same old same old, i can't get ahold of addie =( her phone has been shut off so now i really am cut off from talking to anyone lol (except my mom, who i love very much,but at times the phone coversations just leave me drained and down). Anyways,i'll yak at you all later =)

Always,
Chelsea

Baby Jaden, and Cesar. Addie said she thought he looked more like him than her.

My Monday Morning 5/5

So pete just went to bed alittle bit ago which threw my whole schedule way off, but i am hoping i can get back on top of things. Hope everyone elses day is going good =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~UPDATE ABOVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So i decided to go ahead and post another blog. Its kinda early here, around 9:30am i woke up at 8:30, yay, i'm finally on a normal schedule lol. So anyways, i am having a cup of coffee and chattting to you all right now while pete plays his video game lol he's so cute, he's still really into his video games =)
Anyways, So i am gonna lay something alittle heavy on you, and don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to complain i just feel like i need to get it off of my chest. So being a housewife is great, i love everything i do. I love peter, i love cleaning the house, i love all of it. And the hard times seem to make the good seem that much better. I don't mind not having like any money, or the disapproving looks from my mom (partially i think she is just jealous cause she has always wanted to be a housewife herself, but i'd never say that to her) the only thing i am still feeling empty over is friendship. I mean Peter is my bestest friend ever, but i don't have any friends friends, ya know? I dunno, i used to have friends, but we were just in different satges or points of our life. My old friend viki called me up one day and she was crying, i asked what about and she said cause her mom got her sister a new cell phone. I remember thinking, Oh my gosh! you're so upset over a cell phone when i'm trying hard not to cry to you about being worried that we won't have enough for groceries! I guess that was when i realized that we were worlds apart even though only months apart in age. I guess i just miss having a girls opinion on things, someone to vent to and hang out with.

OKAY enough of the depressing on talk. On the bright side, I am going to try and get a lot of housework done today. I am feeling energized and rearing to go so hopefully i can keep that mindset through out the day. I will come back later and re-post probably. Anyways, Below is my schedule for today:

1000-1100:Morning Routine/B-fast/ Emails(DONE)
1100-1200:Pick up living room/dining room/Dust living room/Clean
counters and island.
1200-100:Laundry/ Eat
100-200:Mop kitchen/Knit
200-300: Snack/Watch soap opera/knit
300-400:Clean cabinets/feed cats/dust bookshelf

May 4th thus far

So where do i begin, i have alot to say but i don't know if i will post it all right now. Alright well my cousin had her little boy Jaden on may 2nd, he was 7 pounds and 3 ounces and 20 inches long. He looks so adorable. I'm so happy for Addie, Plus she seems to have matured so much! She quit drinking and she quit smoking, so already she has changed drastically the old Addie would have said she would never have quit. I hope that when i have a baby i am able to quit smoking cigs, i know they are so unhealthy for you but they are not so easy to quit.
Anyways, i bought some new yarn and needles while i was at wal-mart a couple of days ago, I bought some bamboo needles and i have to really recommend them over the aluminum they are much lighter and don't make your hands cramp up as much. The yarn i am working on right now is called gumdrop color, its really pretty.
So i have worked out a evening and morning routine, i will post it later tonight if i feel up for it. This is basically like my diary or journal lol, it doesn't seem like much people comment so i am free to just be myself.
I am worried i may be pregnant,i am not sure by any means at all, but i just am nervous. I will be late by the 10th, and then i will have to go and get a pregnancy test. I just don't know how that would all work out, i love peter so much, with all of my heart, but we have different point of views on parenting. For example i would love to homeschool my kids but Pete says it would be better if they went to public school.
Oh well i think i will just post my routines right now, i have some spare time before i clean up alittle and fold some laundry. I'll just post the morning routine right now and i'll post the evening one later tonight.
