No Baby ... Just Soccer



Two soccer games. Carter in the red. Taylor in the blue. Both teams lost.

Carter's game was 9:00 a.m., so after the game I took him to 7/11 for some nachos with chili and cheese.

Taylor's game was 1:00 p.m., so after his game, I took him to 7/11 for some nachos with cheese. He didn't want chili.

Joe stayed home for both games with the kids. Mason and Spenser have been acting like they are sick again, so we didn't want them outside. It was very overcast and sprinkled a little. And it was very windy, but not cold.

It was nice to have some "one-on-one" time with Carter in the morning and Taylor in the afternoon. That rarely happens and probably won't happen again for a long time.

(I wasn't going to post, since there was no "exciting" news, but I started to get phone calls and emails, so I thought I'd update ya!)

Soccer's fun! Probably more fun than giving birth! Hope your baby comes soon, though. I'm sure you're ready.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
