My dad sent me the recipe last night. He is such a great dad to have thought about this for over a week and then get me the recipe. I wont be making it until this weekend. last night I made taco soup, my friend Shirla sent me the recipe and it was a huge hit. Tonight I will be making Moroccan Chicken Stew. I was going to go to the potluck bible study with the elder ladies today like I always do on Thursday and I was going to take this stew but I was up every hour last night with a stuffy nose and itchy throat. Avery and the dogs and one of the cats were hogging my bed so I relocated to the couch at 1am. I just finished cleaning and now I'm going to try and get some rest today. I probably shouldn't because it might keep me up tonight but I feel a bad cold coming on so I should rest. I got my hair cut yesterday and Justin gets his vacation pay today so he said I could get some spring clothes for church. I wont spend more than $100. Avery and Ian's birthdays are soon and Avery wants an American Girl Doll with the bed and bedding. Those three items equal $200. I told her that's her limit and that's all she will get. She really wants it so i will order it today. My new tenant is late on his rent and asked if he could wait on paying his late fee. i told him no but I feel bad. I'm not cut out for this job. I have too soft of a heart. He had all of February to worry about March rent. He is a new tenant and should be trying to live within the rules. have a happy Thursday:)
