It's been a few days...

It's been a few days since my last post...

I have been busy with running errands here and there. And then my little one took sick starting Tuesday night. I decided to keep her home by Thursday, she was so stuffed up, headache, fever and really not feeling herself. Poor thing! She spent the day on the couch watching cartoons so I got busy baking and cooking. Boy did I cook...double batch of chocolate chip cookies, banana bread and my ultimate favorite banana raisin bran muffins. I have been also craving chicken stew for a few day now so I thought what better to make then stew for supper. Abigayle was convinced that if she ate stew her cold would go away. If only it worked that way...we would eat stew all the time...LOL. I don't think my hands have been this clean for such a long time. Since I get Remicade infusions every six weeks, my immune system is weaker then normal. So if I get sick, it could be worst. I am so scared to be sick that I am constantly washing my hands.

Today she is feeling much better but still a bit congested. Today at school all the parents were invited for "Hot Dog Picnic". It is a annual thing. Abby thought that was the best thing to be able to eat lunch at school with Mommy and Daddy. So once lunch was over with...back home I came to get busy making room sprays to sell and add some homespun fabric to my rustic star tree toppers. Getting ready for a sale for Christmas items. Made a few phone calls here and there to make sure I will have all my items in on time.

People have begun there Christmas Shopping alread BUT I have to admit, I have also. Since less income comes in now I need to begin early. Got my list made and ideas written EXCEPT for the girls. What do you buy a 11 year old??? I ask her on a continous basis but she always replies back..."I don't know...". I can admit that the girls are not demanding kids and they are satisfied with just about anything but I try to buy them just that right gift. But Tabitha has everything that any child would want and we are now not agreeing so much on clothes anymore. Either I like it and she doesn't or she likes it and I don't. The fun is beginning...

Tomorrow I am going to head over to a presentation about Genealogy. I just love Genealogy...have been researching my maiden name CASSISTA for well over six years now. It is very fascinating to find out your roots and where your ancestors moved, where they worked and so on. I get so into to researching and before I know it, it is midnight. Time passes so quickly but I truely love it. My mother in-law keeps telling me that I am a old soul. I should of been born 100 years ago. It would be fun to live that way but only for a few days. I love my electricity and running water to much for that. But I guess if you never had it, you don't know what your missing, RIGHT???

I hope everyone is in a safe place and far away from this horrible storm that has yet hit the United States again. I have been following the news and am amazed to how severe this storm really is. Mary from Gettysburg Homestead had to head out as a volunteer yesterday. I hope she remains safe and comes back home soon to her family. Let's all keep her in thoughts and prayers.

And lastly I want to let you all know that Becky over at Tennessee Ridge Primitives is giving away a free pattern for Fall. She offers many free patterns through out the month. I love checking out what she has and some day will attempt to make a few. I am getting better as I make more and more. So go on over to her blog and get that free pattern. She is such a wonderful person to offer this to us. Hopefully tomorrwo I will be able to post my cat and crow. I am almost finished and it's looking great!

I must sign out for the night and check out a couple of my fav blogs and hit the hay.
I would really like to head over to our local Famers Market in the morning. Before we know it, it will be closing for the season.

So have a great Weekend everyone and we will see each other again soon :)
