1. This is my first Friday Five!
Yay! Welcome to Friday Five! Have a
great trip next week! Eat all the things in remembrance of your US brethren and sestren (that should be a word!) who are not going to be there so they can't eat the food.
KF! I'm sorry the baby is sick in this of all weeks. That is not a nice way to start off your return to work. But I'm so glad your husband realizes the importance of letting your career re-establish itself before you have to be the one to stay home with a sick child. I'm also annoyed at his work.
But yay! You listed all kinds of reasons to throw it in and try again later, but finished with how you love being back in work! You really do love it (and your job must be a good fit!)... I'm so happy for you.
1. My husband comes home tonight!
2. I only have to say that three more times after this! And that third time... oh my gosh, it's going to be an amazing day.
3. Early this week, I thought I could almost smell Spring outside. Then I saw "polar vortex" in the news and looked at the forecast. Just when I thought it was safe to leave the space heaters off... *headshake*
4. I have decided to call my uninvited visitor Ninja Mouse, because I rarely hear him anymore, and I don't see signs he's been around unless he gets into the food waste bin for a feast. (One night he ate a third of a mouldy tortilla that I'd tossed in there! Little guy can really eat.) But I know he's still around. There are subtle little clues.
5. I don't know what tasty noms we're having this weekend. I had got in the habit of buying and freezing random meats (chicken breasts, diced beef, mince, etc.) to have as emergency meal-starters. Then one day I had some leftovers to freeze and fitting them in was a juggling act. So we're working through it all. Bright side: my shopping will total under £200 for the month and we are certainly not deprived.
