I have decided to jump in a participate in the ali edwards week in the life project. Thanks to chrispea, ;)
So the basic idea is to carry your camera around with you and get snapshots of your daily life. My day today was a busy one. You may already know that I LOVE mondays. The boys are back in school and for the first time in a few days I can get some uninterrupted productive time in. TOday’s plan of action was cleaning up. Troy’s coming home on Wednesday Morning and there is another scheduled power outtage on Tuesday… so I continued on with the never ending laundry… and vacuuming and rearranging and and and. I was very productive today. lets start and the beginning:
whole grain blueberry waffles with maple syrup
he likes his syrup on the side
he likes his syrup all over
I had coffee.
gas on monday 4.06. it was 4.11 the last time i filled up
this is the front of my house. the little room in front is my scrap space
Ohai Ali'i
these laua'e ferns are so fragrant
I must have done ten loads of laundry in the past two days, bedding, towels and clothes...
love the large capacity machines!
opened a new dish washing sponge today
I fixed Jordan's bed
aka superman
i rearranged, vaccumed and cleaned up our bedroom
I fixed Jalen's bed
I vacuumed Jalen's rug and the rest of the upstairs
this was Jordan's snack/lunch. goldfish, wheat thins, chocolate marshmallow, teddy grahams plus a string cheese.
left turn on arrow only, I wait at this light to turn left atleast 3 times a day. dropoff, pickup jordan and pickup jalen.
picking up Jordan
superman back pack, jordan is home.
add raisins and a drink to the snack=lunch
you moved your bed!
both boys home, both backpacks home.
jalen doing homework. today he finished all his work on time. reward? after a quick shower, wii time before dinner.
micro popcorn, spray butter, furikake, iso peanuts.
sketching welcome home signs for wednesday
smells good
corn niblets. a favorite- browned ground turkey, campbells veggie soup, tomato sauce, water, garlic salt, corn niblets. served soupy, over rice or noodles, with cheese.
with noodles
a beautiful sunset
clean dishes. ugh. heated dry failed to run. hello dish towel.
coffee for tomorrow
cleaned the coffee pot too, got it set for auto start, 5:30am
So, yep, power outtage tomorrow, hopefully that’ll be quick. I get so weird with no power. also the last power outtage led to some weirdness with our alarm system, so i had to call the alarm company to find out how to fix it *that’s the 888 number on my sketch page. Troy told me he’s really ready to come home already and he spent the day reading the blog and the comments. He says thanks to all you lovely ladies who stop by and leave comments and for keeping them in your prayers. Only a little longer, still praying for a safe homecoming.
I will get to that blog tag soon…
Sending out my love to you ladies! :)
Blog you later, Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
Wow Joscie, you were busy today! What a good wife and mom you are! I was just thinking about an hour ago, “I wonder what is going on with Joscie, she hasn’t updated in a few days”, then POOF, you showed up in my reader! Glad to hear things are back to normal! You going to CKC Seattle this year? I was hoping to go, but I won’t be able to afford it this year :( At least I have the pics of our lunch from last year to keep the memories alive. Maybe next year!
Yeah, you’re doing Document Your Week… fun. The photo of the Ohai Ali is absolutely stunning. I took a photo of my dirty dishes, too… part of the night time routine before I got go to bed. Have a fun day. :D
I like your day better than mine! lol Maybe today I’ll have time to sit and blog my brief yesterday. Just wanted to say that, THAT Aroma Melt warmer is my ABSOLUTE favorite of all the Partylite stuff I own! lol. but is it Laua or Laua’e?

I like Ali’s idea. I went to use my camera and it will not hold a charge. So I missed Monday so I will get caught up today hopefully. Thanks for sharing your day. It is fun to see how others spend a day especially all the way over on the beautiful Islands. I will post my pics of the beautiful fall colors from way over here in Poland Spring, Maine, on my blog.
Hey Joscie,
