The Saturday after Hurricane Matthew, I decided to have some peeps for dinner.
Since when are you a cannibal??
WHAT?? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??
Re-read that sentence.
Oh, yeah, okay, I see the problem there. Saturday, I decided to have some peeps OVER for dinner!
Much better!
And even though I had had the girls overnight, it still only took me about 10 min. to make the living room and dining room/kitchen presentable!! That was a huge accomplishment!!
Yup, hid some baby toys under that there blankie!!
And yes, I threw put some of the bulky stuff in the girls’ room, but I wasn’t madly running thru the house, just throwing stuff any ole where!
After all, where does the girls’ stuff belong, if not in their room??
{throat clearing} What about this??
(Please note: Dresser top is still neat, except for the 1 blankie!)
Yes, I did put all the sewing/quilting stuff from the dining table, in the crib. And your point?
Well, you shoved stuff.
True, but that was only a small bit of stuff, and the sewing room IS in my room, so MY point still holds! “I wasn’t madly running thru the house, just throwing stuff any ole where!”
Mama was spending the afternoon, with me and the girls, and I decided I needed to feed her, for once. Usually I say, “Sorry, Mama, I don’t have anything.” (For some reason she won’t eat PP’s canned mac and cheese. )
So, I thawed some chix thighs, put them in (Rose’s) crock pot. Then, I cut up onions, put them in crock, and there was no room for the potatoes! Mama and Rose were NOT happy about that development! I blithely said, “We’ll just have to mash them then! “Knowing good and well I didn’t intend to mash them!}
But, I did peel the potatoes. By this time, I was exhausted, and needed some refreshment. So, I peeled, and sliced some apples for PP, and ate some. Ah! The restorative powers of sustenance!
Then I washed off table, and set it. Washed enough forks.
SF kindly cooked the broccoli, after Mama mashed the taters. Rose had gone home, and baked put a blackberry cobbler in the oven. Oh so yummm!! (Even the store bought stuff tastes good with vanilla ice cream on it!) And, for all those watching my diet for me, no, it wasn’t GF. 
After dinner, I cleared the dishes, and stopped Mama from washing them all. She managed to get most of the pots done, before I caught her!
{Could you have guessed our menu from the crock dreggs??}
I didn’t finish them till next day. Babysitting, cooking, and cleaning was enough for 1 day!!
The last time I had peeps over for a meal was Dec. 24, 2015, for the Hawkins family Christmas Eve party. And to prepare for that took a month, and 3 sessions with an organizer, and 1 pd cleaning!!
I’ve come a long way, baby!!
Found mail from last month!! Good thing it was only my OTC stuff from the pharmacy, NOT meds!
3 expired supplements. Not good, Melinda. I know, I know. Well, I won’t be taking those anymore. Wonder if that’s why your tongue turned green??
There, doesn’t that look so much better?
