Moments in Time: Day 2 of Winter PhoBlo Days

Today began with me sleeping in. Until 9:00 am. That almost NEVER happens. I began my day with coffee in bed and my Bible. I love Saturday mornings:

I helped Mr. Happy in the office for the rest of the morning; we are working on getting the church books ready to present to the congregation:

I spent time at both his desk and my desk...which is considerably messier than yesterday:

Thumbelina and I shared last night's rice bowl for lunch...the rest of the family fended for themselves:

Then we snuck downstairs and did some ironing:

Zoomer has run wires throughout the basement and hooked up a TV for me so that I will have something to watch while I iron...I'm not planning on the TV remaining on top of the freezer:

Thumbelina watched the clothes inside the washing machine while I did the folding:

She's such a good helper:

This is what happens to your kitchen when your family is left to fend for themselves:

After a quick clean-up, Thumbelina and I headed out to get some groceries. I'd like to say that I have a menu planned for this coming week, but I don't. But we DO need to eat chicken this week...more than once...my children will be thrilled...

Today's commute looked pretty much like yesterday's:

Hello, Real Canadian Super Store:

Ruht-roh...somebody fell asleep:

RCSS (Real Canadian Super Store) was crazy busy...but what do you expect for a Saturday afternoon. Thumbelina enjoys grocery shopping, although she usually does it with Mr. Happy on Saturday mornings, and despite falling asleep on the way there, she was happy and helpful. I, on the other hand, despise buying groceries. There has got to be a better way to load up the groceries than the double converyor belt. My groceries and bins were piled way high at the end, ready to topple over if anybody were to make a loud noise, and the poor fellow who was after me in line had to walk around me to reach his groceries on the other side...and then come BACK around me to pay for them. And when both of our conveyors were full and the check-out girl had nothing to do but wait for us, she just stood there watching. I miss the days when people would come and help you bag your groceries. Now everything is crowded and congested and stressful. Anyway, here are 2 of our 5 bins of groceries...nachos and pop and flakies:

My beautiful princess on her way outside to play with Shaggy:

My beautiful princess hamming it up for the camera...apparently 'nobody' knew how she got the scratch under her eye this morning, but now it appears that she and Tigger were playing with a stick...uhuh:

I did some Farmville while the children were outside, but I'm too lazy to add the picture in. It doesn't look a whole lot different from yesterday's picture. It was 5:00 by the time I got home from grocery shopping, and since Mr. Happy had to run into town to pick up Zoomer from his sports thing, they brought home supper. We are all about eating healthy at the Funny Farm:

And since I have Celiac Disease and can't eat anything with gluten, take-out is not what is usually on my menu. So I had eggs over-easy and gluten-free toast. Except one of my eggs broke when I flipped it and it turned out hard:

After supper, Thumbelina and I did more laundry...actually Thumbelina abandoned me and played Wii Sports Resort while I did more laundry:

And because I wasn't in the mood to clean up the kitchen after the boys cleaned up the kitchen, I did some more practicing. The piano looks the same as it did yesterday, so I didn't bother to take a picture of it. And now I am enjoying a cup of tea and soon I will join Mr. Happy downstairs where he is diligently working on his laptop while watching the Olympics:
