Monday Monday

Does anyone remember the hit song Monday Monday from the Mama’s and the Papa’s? Remember they had Mama Cass, the really big heavy female singer who choked on a sandwich? If you don’t, they were a great band made up of two women and two men in the 60’s. Anyhow, onto the day……

Yesterday was a fun filled Fathers Day that was relatively uneventful and capped off with a bbq of chicken, ribs, coleslaw, baked beans and cornbread. To finish it off the boys and Mom made a pineapple upside down cake using coconut flour which is gluten (wheat) free. It was Mom’s first try using this flour and although a bit dry, tasted really good. (she now knows what to add to this flour next time to ensure a moist cake) I didn’t even know they made coconut flour but it made the whole cake taste like a giant macaroon, it was really good.

It’s raining hard as it has been all night and we had Mojo sleep inside last night. Sometime during the night or morning he busted out of the crate and had free roam of the house. I think he got out after Mom fed him breakfast I’m now being told. It’s 6am and Mom’s showered and downstairs getting ready to go to work as she’s on from 7:15 until 2 today.

We went grocery shopping yesterday and by the time we were checking out our bill was $300, and that’s with our discount! This only bought us about 5 bags of food, everything has gone way up in price lately. The misses tried all day to get in touch with Grandpa Bob who is somewhere fishing in Oregon, to wish him happy fathers day but couldn’t track down his cell phone anywhere. She did manage to reach Pa Don who is doing well in Sacramento. It’s going to be a hot week with evening storms, but for today, swim team is cancelled. This is good news because I’d have a hard time taking the boys with all the work calls I have that start at 8am. Tomorrow I’m up at 3:30 for a 6am flight to San Francisco so Mom will have to do the blog.

Not much else going on, trying to stay ahead of the bills, keep the kids busy and get my work done. We did manage to commandeer an old used rug from Uncle T and Aunt B that we saw in their garage. It’s worn but is nice colors and looks good in the front room. We’ll use this for a while until we can find something else. The news is saying it’s actually snowing in the mountains, what a cold season it’s been up there.

Time to hit the shower before Mom leaves and the boys get up, hope everyone is well and happy, have a great day and God Bless.
