A big day




Wow yesterday was a long day for us. We decided that we were going to put up corn for the winter. ( me, my sister-in-law Suzanne, and my mom) Between the 3 of us we did 40 dozen. That is 480 ears of corn. We enlisted help from the kids to help shuck. They were fine for the first hour or two But that is alot of corn to shuck. Konnor even did a good job of helping. Needless to say we worked from 11:00 to around 5:00 shucking, washing, cooking, cutting and bagging. This corn was so sweet and good. I know it is going to taste good in the middle of the winter. My kitchen has been dirty before but you can't even imagine how dirty it was when we got finished yesterday. The corn was so juicy everything was so sticky. The floor had to be mopped twice. I was so tired when I went to bed last night. I took two Tylenol and went to bed.
My doctor appointment went good on Wed. I am dilated to two cm. Not bad for 36 weeks but nothing to get too excited over. We will see what they tell me next week. I figured all that work yesterday is worth at least 2 more centimeters. Don't you think? Well I am not really sure what is up for the weekend. I hope everyone else has a good one!!

Oh my goodness - that corn looks delicious! What I wouldn't give for an ear of that right now! You're one amazing woman to be doing all that and about ready to have this baby! You'll be glad later, right?

Take care of yourself, ok?

Wow, you don't let a little thing like being 35 wks pregnant stop you. I'm sure it is very rewarding to look in your freezer. Is it cheaper to do or just tastier?
