The job title 'Domestic Goddess', while funny, is completely misleading. As I waved the 'crew' off to their respective schools and work this morning-I was petting the dog. I looked down at her and once again(as I have for the past few weeks) took note of the fact that the poor creature was in desperate need of a hair trim/grooming. So, putting housework aside, I grabbed the appropriate equipment and set to work.
So Rosie is trimmed and brushed-and then bathed thanks to Weston. But as I sat there grooming her, I thought about what I did with my day yesterday. We ran out of jam in our food storage so I pulled frozen peaches I prepared last year from the freezer-invited a friend over and by the afternoon had 25 pints of peach jam. I was also successful in sharing a love for homemade peach jam with a great friend. Of course, it was introduced to her on homemade bread from one of the 6 loaves I made at 5 yesterday morning.
No photos for the bread-if you've read past blogs it would be redundant. ;) In the past few months we have gotten some things accomplished. On top of helping out with the HS play, we have pulled out carpet, painted some walls and trim, and begun reflooring the living room. I think we finally have the girls room set up so they can easily keep it clean. It's been so nice walking in there the past few weeks to see what a great job they are doing keeping things tidy. I may have my great organizational skills back by the time Kaylyn leaves home.... I was totally organized before we had child number 4..... :) Off to pick up prescriptions and other errands....
.................I do so like looking at the pretty jars of jam!.............. :)

I made the most amazing peach jam last year but my kids wont eat it! So annoying. I've been giving it away as gifts.
It is nice to have them for gifts, but so frustrating to have the kids not eat it! I have two that wont touch peaches at all, but still love the jam. I will count my blessings. :)
I love that you kept the name Rosie! I am glad that you love her!
She is the best dog! Afew weeks ago we watched a friends chihuahua. That little dog was so nervous. I had Rosie do a sit and stay. She sat there acting like that little dog didn't exist. While he barked, growled,and nipped at her- he even pulled out a few tufts of her hair! She just sat there looking anywhere but at him. 20 minutes later they were playing in the yard. We've had a new kitchen for a week. Rosie is convinced that they're going to be best friends. She goes running with Thomas about 5 days a week. She tell us whether she wants to be inside or outside. She loves to chase the rabbits out of our yard and our neighbor's yards. She loves to go play at the farm. She even tells us when we haven't had her. Sometimes I would swear she understands english! We love her!
