Yummy!!!

So I tried something new. No it wasn't the soup, I still haven't made that yet. I plan on working on it while I'm cleaning and working on the house for the next 3 days. Along with everything else that I do like my bible study and so on. Anyhow, back to the yummy...I bought a bag of mixed beans, cleaned them, put them in a bowl with a raw potatoe chopped up. After letting them soak I put them in the canning jars after maybe an inch of bit size chopped ham. I only filled the jars about half way, then I filled them the rest of the way with water. And YUMMY! It was so good. I stopped myself from having another helping, but I could've eaten another jar. I'm thinking it would have tasted a bit better with crackers, but that would've been more than I needed.

I still am covered in a rash, it has now spread all over my neck in bright red splotches and a bit on my arms. I'm keeping a box of cottonballs covered in alcohol close. I'm working but very careful not to touch anything without either having gloves on or without having washed my hands first. I'm down nearly 15 hours this week. I was hoping to be able to stay until 9 tonight, but we had so many people it was horrible. So I volunteered to come in for a few hours tomorrow since we are down two people. This works out great for me, I can leave by 9 and Duck can go to school, and I can pick up 5 more hours. Things have been going much easier for me. I don't have the added stresses that I had.

I have new goals for this week:

1. Two batches of salsa (hot and mild)
2. Potatoe soup.
3. Clean up the laundry room
4. Move the dishwasher out and the washer in.
5. Finish up bedroom
6. Finish bunkbeds
7. Steam Clean carpets upstairs.

I think that's good for now, I need to go through our family goals and update them, some have been accomplished.

By the way we were fortunate to be given a broken chainsaw, the guy said that it wouldn't start that the motor was locked up. Dad had Duck put more chain oil in to it and bingo! It works great, we will be chopping and cutting wood this week as well.

Toodles, gotta be up in 5 hours.
