The last 24 hours

The last 24 hours for me have been...for the most part.... great! This time yesterday, I started making homemade Vegetable Meatball soup....it was so yummy & made the house smell awesome. I did 32 oz of tomato juice, 32 oz water, and 2 beef buillon cubes as the broth. Then I added 1 can of diced tomatoes, 3 diced potatoes, 2 yellow squash cubed, 1 zuchinni cubed, 1 large onion cut in small chunks, 1 C corn and 1 C green peas, 3 cloves of garlic (pressed), plus a little bit of almost every seasoning in my cabinet. Then I made meatballs from scratch (as per my husband's request) & dropped the raw meat balls into the boiling soup, so they cooked in the broth....IT WAS DELICIOUS!! I boiled/simmered it for about an hour or so (didn't cook the veggies that long- only cooked them for about 25 minutes)! After dinner, I went shopping at Wal-Mart for a few minutes! Then left there & went to the hospital to see my friend Leah who just had twin boys. It was nice seeing her. I got to hold one of the boys because he was in the room with her, but the other boy is still in the NICU. I got to go down to see him in the NICU...and what was really cool was that I got to see his first bath. He hadn't had one yet since he was having trouble breathing when he was born. I've never seen that before since, obviously, when I had babies, I was stuck in the delivery bed while they got bathed!
After the hospital, I left & went to Amanda's house to celebrate her birthday w/o kids. We watched a movie and ate popcorn! It was nice and relaxing!!
Then, about midnight last night, I got home to find Jonathan screaming... this kid NEVER wakes in the night! He has always been a good sleeper, but this last week, he's been snotty & not feeling great! So, I think it all caught up with him last night! So, finally, at 1 am, he calmed down so I could go to bed!
I slept in until almost 730 this morning....a rarity! Then after the twins' morning nap, my MIL, mom, and I loaded up all 4 kids into the van & headed into Tulsa for the day! We went to the mall, then to Taco Bueno, then Kmart, then the post office, then to Wal-Mart! It was fun to get out of the house for the day! The kids were great all day! Now I am home...right as the rain starts again... ready for my nap before going to work tonight!!
Not a very exciting post today, but I wanted to share my enjoyable 24 hours with you!
