The Sunday Salon: The Sun Has Come Out

Sunday Salon

On Friday, all were well.

On Saturday, The Boy and The Hub got sick. Very sick. Well, head cold sick, but they were difficult and not willing to take medication. After much arguing, they relented.It was actually not a bad day to be sick. It got really cloudy and we had flash flood warnings. I took The Girl to a birthday party and got a massive headache from the piped-in music, but she had fun and her friend’s family is always super nice.

Today, I had more errands to run. If it were just me, I could seriously live on very little but with the kids and hub, I find myself going to the market, or Target or someplace else at least a few times a week. Today, The Girl has another party to go to. I am hoping The Hub is better (he seems much better) so he can take her. I am hoping to do a bit of reading later.

I have been missing meatloaf. I have this awesome meatloaf I make but because it calls for breadcrumbs and I am gluten intolerant, I’ve not had it. At Sprouts the other day though, I picked up gluten-free breadcrumbs. Sometimes I miss the most obvious things. Of course there would be gluten-free breadcrumbs! So I made the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and fresh peas for dinner. It’s all cooked and everything so right after the party…that’s what we’ll have.

My house is a bit of disaster since the two were lounging around so I will spend the next 30 minutes tidying up, and then I hope to lounge around a bit myself. What do you have planned?
