Happy 4th of July!

What are your plans for today?

DH is at home today, so I want to catch up on some household things I have a hard time taking care of when he's gone so much. I need to finish up some paperwork, start cleaning out the office, and try to do some school year planning.

We are planning on having ribs, baked potatoes and a vegetable (always hard to find one that everyone will eat -- I will probably prepare 2 different ones) for dinner. If I can get some more strawberries, we'll have strawberry shortcake for dessert. I'll have to make something different for my sister, though, since she's allergic to strawberries.

I've been up since 4AM which means I'll be dragging later. L woke around then and I nursed her back to sleep, but couldn't fall back asleep myself. I decided to get up and do some chores around the house before anyone else woke up. I've got a load of laundry going, finished cleaning off a shelving unit that I started yesterday, swept and mopped the kitchen floor. I'd like to vacuum, but that's kinda noisy and I'm enjoying the quiet right now.

It's going to be another scorcher today, so I don't think we'll eat outside. We will probably swim sometime today, and maybe take a morning trip to IKEA if everyone else wakes up soon.

Gosh, this probably sounds boring! Oh, well, a few boring days can't be bad!

Enjoy your day!
