Based on the K.I.S.S. principal

"Keep it simple stupid"

That's me....keeping it simple...Don't have the energy for nothing but simple

Need to dust and vacuum the upstairs......quick mop down of the kitchen floor

Mix it all up and throw it all in the oven, crockpots and Microwave.

Using Chinette,...not China

Using good quality plastic...no time to polish the silver.

Clean up's a breeze.

This year I promise...I WILL accept help....I WILL accept help.

Ahh....can't wait til Friday. We are supposed to have a warmish weekend (OK 50's but that's warm for November in Chicago) and I have a bit of yard work to do. A labor of love in 50 degree sunny blue sky weather after 2 weeks of being sick and 2 weeks of being cooped up playing nursemaid.

Mike can go outside and walk now. YAY!!!

The rest of the weekend. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

How about you?????
