I love me a good Saturday.

Since I had put the most obvious parts of the house in relative order on Friday, when I came home this morning after spending last night handling my mother's post operative care I had no big plans to be productive. As the rain turned into steady snow I knew it was going to be a perfect day.

All but the two youngest were still asleep when I got home. K~ was curled up in a blanket watching a movie and L~ was on the laptop. The house was quiet and cozy. I went to the grocery store to stock up, knowing I didn't want to go out again today.

I browned and seasoned some cubed beef and threw it in the crockpot with generous amounts of carrots, potatoes and onion for stew, then I wrapped myself in one of my favorite quilts and curled up with Rodin.

I took two naps!

Now I'm shutting myself away in my laundry/quilting room to clear a path to my sewing machine and knock out some quilt blocks. If I can keep my life and my house in better order this year I'm going to reward myself by actually finishing a few projects.

I love me a good Saturday.
