Congratulations, and a big WELCOME,
Chevauchee! I'm glad this plan is working so well for you!
F.O., I hope you mean PM rather than AM!
My house smells so good right now. I just took an apple crisp and 3 apple cakes out of the oven, and all my chores are done for now.

I have about an hour to put my feet up until the kids and my parents start arriving and bedlam begins.

It's peaceful and quiet right now, though, and there's a soft, lovely breeze stirring the curtains.
