New bed here; more cleaning to do

After a long day, our new bed finally arrived. Thankfully, it didn't require either one of us missing out on work, because Robert took a 3:45 serving shift, and I didn't have to leave work early to come home and take over for Robert to wait for the Macy's movers to come!

So, when I got home, I saw our new bed, all set up and made. In the front of the room (I'm assuming temporarily), Robert finally moved his dresser. I say temporarily, because we can't open the bottom drawer, as it's too close to the footboard.

Nonetheless, it was great to come home and see some more work done. I made Hashbrown Casserole (recipe below) tonight, along with some meatless tacos. (I cannot do ground beef in a taco. Too much meat!) I also thought ahead (for once), and packed some extra casserole and a taco for my lunch tomorrow.

I've decided that Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are the days I need to pay the most attention to myself. I'm so worn out and tired, I couldn't hardly finish cleaning the kitchen tonight. I almosttook Robert's mom up on the Fiesta offer at Grandma & Grandpa Byers', but thankfully God tugged at my heart, and I decided against it tonight.

Instead, I finished cleaning up my mess, cleaned the first 2 counters off in the kitchen along with the stovetop (but not the burners), and promptly plugged in my new footbath from Bryan & Katie. I plan on taking the jars out of my shop, and then heading to bed at 10pm. I just hope Robert comes home before then, so I can at least see him for a few minutes before I crash.

Please pray that I can finish the kitchen counters this week, so that Robert and I can tackle rearranging the kitchen this weekend. Also, we had an answer to prayer: Instead of spending a ton of cash on a new mattress and box spring, Robert's lovely cousin, Shannon, is giving us hers! Brand new; and free!

I'll hopefully be better about posting more often. I refuse to post pictures of our home right now because it's such a mess. I promise; they will come!
