• Made breakfast (dippy eggs and whole wheat toast)
• Gave chickens water.  Gathered eggs.  (Children did other animal chores)

• cleaned toilet (it needed it!)
• had children clean their rooms
• baked Oatmeal Raisin Lassies (the second half of a double batch made last week-so only cookie sheets for dishes!)

• did dishes from breakfast (and yesterday.)
• made lunch (peanut butter and banana sandwiches.  Tuna for me.)
• blogged here and a few new recipes here
• after the children were done cleaning their rooms, I went in and deep cleaned (because you know their idea of clean is not MY idea of clean) GIRLS room (swept under beds, dusted, purged a few things etc.)  BOYS room will be tomorrow.

•  plucked millions of teeny cilantro leaves from lovely, long stalks of a hugely generous bunch of cilantro a friend gave me.  Prepared them for freezing.
• Swept kitchen and living room wood floors.
• Sat down to read a book for herb reference and then got up 20 minutes later...books do that to me.
• Vacuumed living room rugs.
