Uh oh!

SIL left this morning. I'm really going to miss her. While it's going to be nice to get back to the normal routine with the kids and house, it was so much fun having her here. We stayed up til 4:30 this morning talking about all the stuff we hadn't had the chance to before. My alarm goes off at 6 so you know how much, uh, little, sleep I'm running on today. I've had 3 cups of coffee and might need a 4th after I finish my lunch. I went back to bed after taking her to the airport but I couldn't sleep so I got up and did a bit of stuff I've been needing to do.

While I don't believe we need to "save the planet", I do believe in being good stewards of what God has given us. So while I disagree with SIL about a LOT, politically (she works for an international NGO that does a lot of meddling) she was a great shot in the arm to get me back to recycling. I even collected some bags to do shopping in to avoid coming home with more plastic bags than necessary. She also makes great salads that the kids love so we've kicked that into high gear. The left over greens even got the hens to start laying.

The "uh oh" part? While SIL was here my monthly usage for internet went up considerably. Therefore I'm going to be very frugal with my internet usage until next week when it resets. So if I don't do much here for the next week, you know why.
