Saturday Ramblings
The weeks just seem to be going by faster and faster. Here it is Saturday already. I must admit I've waited all week for today. I have a long list of things to do today, things I have been putting off because we have been gone every weekend for the last 4 weeks. Today my husband was taking the boys for the day so they could help my dad winterize his place and I was staying here to get everything done. I say was because Mic didn't get all his schoolwork done this week and the rule here is that any school not done during the week becomes Saturday homework. Not matter what plans mom may have.
Actually he is nearly done already so I plan to put him to work for the rest of the day helping me with my projects. Nothing too fun, at least not for him. We are starting the day with grocery shopping, and since he is here alone his brothers will not be able to help him bring the groceries into the house. Then we have to sort through the bushels of apples in the basement, some are starting to get soft and need to be cooked up. We also need to defrost the freezer so I have room for more applesauce. I have to clean the pantry (definitely a one person job) so he can catch up on the chores he has not done this week because school was taking so long. Then his favorite part of the day will be the trip I need to make to Joanne's to look for fabric for my Christmas sewing. And once we are home again I am going to sew up a couple of winter skirts. My winter skirts were a bit big last year and I've lost 25 pounds since then, so I don't think they have gotten any better. I found a new pattern that looks really easy that I want to try and some fabric I bought months ago. I don't really know yet how Mic can help with that, but I am sure his bedroom needs a good cleaning.
If he works reasonably hard all day, I am planning to take him out to dinner. We'll see how it goes. He is a very sweet child, but strong willed. He is also easily distracted and needs some better training in time management. Maybe I'll have to institute a more rigid schedule for him until he has developed better habits. I have said from the time he was a toddler that he is the kind of person who will change the world, for the better or worse I'm not sure yet.
