On a Roll


Yesterday was Mason's Thanksgiving program at preschool. He was a pilgrim (center with blue and gray baseball shirt). He was hysterical. While all the children sang and danced, Mason just stood there with a scowl on his face. Out of all of my children, Taylor is the only one who used to participate in these programs. The other three were not interested at all.

I'm on a roll today. I've already done a load of laundry. The dishwasher is running. The three older boys are off to school. And it's only 8:15 a.m. We're about to head to go grocery shopping, which I am dreading. Yesterday was my "day" to go shopping, but with Mason's preschool program and the nasty rainy weather, I couldn't bear dragging the children around anymore than necessary. So we're off today.

Joe left to go out of town this morning and won't be home until Sunday afternoon/evening. And there's no school next week for the Thanksgiving holiday! And Spenser's sick again. It will be an interesting weekend and upcoming week ...

Hopefully I can roll with it.

Hey girl. What are your plans next week? Let me know if you wanna get the kids together.
I don't blame you for not shopping yesterday. I didn't even want to go get the mail!

Roll with it, baby! And good luck! I've been dreading going to the grocery store too - because it means I have to plan out the whole thanksgiving thing and it is going to cost me a FORTUNE!!!!

That picture of Mason cracks me up. Oy, looks like you have a full week ahead of you, but I'm sure you'll make it! Sending good karma your way.

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
