Workin Hard while Hardly Workin

So for the past two days, I have had a break from work and school. Today (Wednesday) has been the first day this week that I have actually came into work. I thought that my two days off would have been nice and relaxing, but I should have known better!
During this past semester, there were some deep cleaning things in the house that I have neglected, and these past two days were the just PERFECT for cleaning everything. Not to mention, Chris and I had a TON of grocery shopping to do, I had to bake cookies for the girls I visit teach (and the families Chris home teaches), I had to make the house presentable for my visiting teachers to come over, I had to scrub the shower from top to bottom, had to scrub mold that was growing in our bedroom, had to run into work at my second job to talk to my supervisor, had to run go to costco to get a few things that we forgot at Walmart the day before, had to bake banana bread (before the bananas went too bad), had to make apple bread (because Chris is allergic to bananas), had to make dinner both nights, had to prepare lunch and dinner for Wednesday (because I work a 14 hour day today), had to fold laundry (but Chris did that for me while I was running errands), had to do dishes twice (but Chris also did that for me once while I was running errands), I made salsa (which killed my wrist and took 3 hours), and we also made a bunch of herbal remedy capsules and tinctures last night. I'm sure I'm leaving out a few things that I did, but oh well. FORTUNATELY I was able to do a lot of my food chopping/ slicing/ shredding on a table in the living room while watching MY choice of movies. Oh ya, chick flick marathon! So while the past two days weren't relaxing, they certainly were rewarding. Now I feel so accomplished! When I get home from work tonight, I'm gonna look around and say: "Wow, look what I did!" haha

You are making the rest of us look like wimps. I do think you should cut your slasa recipe in half then you could save your hands. It takes a tons of tomatoes! Yes, I know it is yummy. You guys got a Costco card? That could be fun...or dangerous. You continue to be amazing.

I would cut the recipe in half, but Chris LOVES it! He goes through a huge thing of salsa so quickly... he puts it on everything, and we've even started using it as salad dressing. The reason I am keeping this up is because it is such a good way to make sure he eats healthy! He is not much of a salad person, so salsa is one of the few ways I can get him to voluntarily eat fresh vegetables! haha I know, I'm so sneaky. But yes, we do have a Costco card now, it has been dangerous, but we have managed to keep it under control haha!

Do you ohave a food chopper?

I do actually. In fact, Chris has bought me two different ones to help with the salsa. I can chop everything but the tomatoes in them because the tomatoes would get mushy, and I like them finely diced for the salsa lol
