I made jam and painted my nails!

Got up early and went shopping. I thought this would be the best time to shop. Last day of school and Mo is still gone. I hate shopping with all four kids it seams like I end up buying more than I needed and I always end up fighting with someone. Spent more money then I needed too anyway which was a total bummer and I know that I will be paying for it at the end of the month. I can not believe that tomorrow is the start of summer here and i am totally looking for it in a way but the constant crying and fighting not looking to that. I hope that I end up with an amazing summer.

So at Walmart I decided to buy a caning kit so I could can some of the fruit that we have been getting so they don't go to waste. I just read online and decided that i could do it. So i got home from the store and put the groceries away spent some time with the man for lunch before he went back to work and started in. i decided that i should make jam! Well i blanched the fruit and peeled off the skins. Then I got all the jars out and washed them and then i sterilized them man by this point I was ready to quit but i had all ready blanched all that fruit. I decided that taking a break was not an option and since mod was keeping the little ones busy by playing school I was going to finish. I started in on the next phase of this jam making which was to make the jam. Man of man I wall tell you that all my friends that do this on a regular basis there has to be some steps that can make it easier. I put the jam into the jars and then finished them up by cleaning the edges off and sealing them in hot water. Thanks to living in a higher attitude i had to add all these minutes here and add minutes there. I hope this jam firms up. So I texted pictures of my jam to the family and Super Chef has so little faith. He wanted to make sure that I knew I needed to boil them. Yeah I did but a book and read the entire thing

So we had left overs from last night and I decided that since this was the last night before mo came home and the first night of summer that mod and I would stay up late paint finger nails and watch TV. We watched several 2 movies and laughed and I forget how amazing she is. Having all the other kids, I also forget to let her know how much I need her. So this summer i am going to try harder to let her know and spend some girl time. I also I don't think i have painted my nails in a long time. Years I think. All in all a wonderful night and we will see about the jam.

I am sorry if i offended any of you with yesterdays blog! I just thought it was funny!
