A day in my life - March!

March is here and it came in like a lion in West Michigan!  I had March 1 off and had my day all planned.  I was supposed to have my MOPS group, then go out for lunch with a friend and then have my yearly mammogram.  My weekly Bible study was scheduled for the evening.  However, things don't always go as planned!  Here's how my day really went though:

I got up and hopped in the shower, planning to leave the house about 8:30 for MOPS.  When I got out, I heard my phone beep for a text message.  When I checked it, I found out that all the schools were closed due to weather, so MOPS was cancelled.

Here's what it looked like out our front window.  Looked like a good day to stay in!
It was a nice surprise to be able to enjoy a slow paced morning.  It's not often I get a day to stay home, but after listening to the weather report, I decided to just stay home and do the lunch and mammogram later too.

I started up some laundry...

and made some banana bread with some bananas I had thrown in the freezer.



In the meantime, here's what it looked like outside:

I also decided this was a good day to work on cleaning out the closet in our spare/kids room.  We store all kinds of things there - toys, wrapping paper, decorative things, serving items...  and it's been needing some sorting for a while.

It was also a good time to do our taxes.  I've used a few different types of tax software, but I like TurboTax the best.  It's nice to have that done!


Bob got home from work about 4:30.

He got right to work on the driveway.


And I started working on supper.

We had chicken fajitas and they were so good!  I like the McCormick seasoning packet, it's easy to make yummy filling.  Our daughter Laura told me about these tortillas.  If you can find them in a store near you, I highly recommend them!  They are fresh and uncooked and taste so much better than the already made version.

You just throw the tortilla on an ungreased griddle or pan,  as you brown one side it will bubble up,  Then flip it and brown the other side.

It will look like this.

Then fill it with your chicken and veggie filling, and cheese if you like.  It's so good!



In the meantime, we heard that my bible study and a training session Bob was supposed to go to for work was cancelled, so we had the evening free!

After supper I worked on an online training course.  We have to do a few continuing education courses each month for work.  This one was on blood borne pathogens.  It's good to have it done!

We just relaxed the rest of the night.  I enjoyed my snow day!
