Sunday Here Again

Sunday is here again. Time to get all things ready for the week. Chris, Mikala & I got a lot done this weekend. We have a island in our parking lot. The tree that was in it kicked the bucket. Chris cut it down to the ground. There was a ground cover that was not doing well at all, so we pulled it up. We bought a bunch of azaleas (9) and some bags of bark o mulch. After pulling all the weeds, digging the holes, & planting the plants it looks so nice but boy........Chris hurt his shoulder and my back is killing me. Lol! We didn't get to the bark o mulch that we were going to do today. Chris found out that he is allergic to azaleas and is covered in a rash of some sort. We went shopping for food for the next two week and with a list in hand, it took us hours. Lol! I feel so old. Oh well. For the most part, the hard work is done. We were short two azaleas. I went ahead and dug the holes for them Saturday but still have to buy the plants. Ill do that tomorrow. I hope all of you had a awesome weekend.

Morning Rituals

Most mornings when I get up I have things that I have to do. I have to open the mini blinds. I open the windows for fresh air and to get rid of the night breath. I take the dog out. Get Mikala's breakfast cereal and hot chocolate. If it's the weekend, I make some sort of big breakfast. Today I'm doing the skillet thing with potatoes, meat, eggs, and cheese.

What is your morning ritual?

RV

We went to see the movie "RV" with Robin Williams. LOVED IT!! It is so funny! I highly recommend it for the family.

Disney Land

Disney Land is calling the Rossi's. We have got the bug to go. Even if it is for just a weekend. Where the money will come from, I don't know. I think we may end up going in June. We are trying to figure if driving is better with the gas prices or to fly. It seem's we have to do Disney Land once a year. It is our family escape. We start thinking about it then before you know it, we are singing the songs and playing the Disney board games.

Simplify

I woke up this morning thinking, " it's time for a garage sale." I can look in each room and think of stuff I'd like to get rid of. I have accumulated so much stuff. Where did it all come from? I keep telling myself to simplify, simplify, simplify. When I simplify my life, I make more time for family, friends, and myself. The thought of a garage sale sounds like a chore. When I attack my house for things to get rid of, I want to do it in a mind set like I was moving. Do I really need this or that? Do I want to pack it? When is the last time I used it? Oh and I should clean that before I try to sell it. Well, it must be done and to commit to it, I'm going to call the news paper today. Anybody need a water fountain?

Kites, bubbles, & chalk

When is the last time you broke out the kites, bubbles & chalk? Some times I feel the brain just needs a break from the everyday crap. Never forget your youth and what made you happy as a child. It is so easy to get caught up in everyday life anymore. Take a break. Even if it is for an hour. See how many times you smile. See how creative you can get. Invite a friend. What are some of your escapes? I love new ideas.
