Good Morning Blog friends!

Today I work from noon until 8 pm so I have some time this morning to post an update on life!

While my daughter continues to cook at home, I do all my cooking at work! Yesterday I cleaned a whole chicken which I roasted the day before...took me the better part of an hour! I then made a new recipe, "Chicken Stew with Biscuits". (stock photo) My employer bought a new cookbook with 'down home' type recipes; this recipe was one she wanted to try. I left work at 3 pm yesterday so I haven't gotten the report on the finished product and the 'review' from the children yet! The 'stew' part tasted very good and all my employer had to do was to top it with canned biscuits and bake. It sure looked good!

I worked so hard yesterday, I was DRAGGING til I got home! Not sure why, but I guess just NON-STOP action is tiring! My youngest charge is SO BUSY!! He literally CLIMBS everything! He 's actually quite good at climbing but, he IS only 1 and of course, there are spills and falls and required assistance and supervision while he practices his new skills of climbing! My part in that equation forces me to drop everything else that needs to be accomplished, which then forces me to work DOUBLE-TIME while he is napping! Oh well....a little work never hurt anyone. A friend of mine always says, as I whine about being tired, "you'll sleep well tonight"! Waaa, waaaa....I'd prefer sympathy! :)

Best to all for this day!
