My Lucky Week


It must be my lucky week!
Yesterday I received a package from Tasha. She was having a 100th-post giveaway. And I won! I never win anything. Ever. But not this time. Not only did I win the giveaway, I scored big!
Tasha sent me the Hawaiian rice fabric, and two most adorable banana fabrics. They are wearing grass skirts and are doing the hula, the limbo, and dancing (or "shaking"). It's absolutely adorable. In fact, as soon as I opened it up, Mason yelled, "Make me something from this!" He loved the orange fabric and Spenser grabbed the pink fabric.
She also sent two candy bars that just scream "Hawaii" to me! Yum! I have been ever so patient not to eat them so I could take their picture first. So, now that I've done that, I might have one for breakfast.
Thank you, Tasha! It was a very nice treat. And the boys were so happy to hear a package came "all the way from Hawaii!"

On the family front. Taylor fell off his bed (somehow) on Wednesday night and cut and punctured his head on the corner of his dresser. He had to go to the hospital and get a stitch. Just one. Last night he started to lose his voice and woke up this morning with a croupy cough. He stayed home from school. Spenser woke up, too, with croupy coughing. Carter walked into our bedroom this morning and is starting to lose his voice. He went to school. (I've had a sore throat off and on for a week with a chest cough. I guess I'm the one who started it.)

Yea for good mail! All the way from Hawaii! And in belly dance language, that shaking dance step is a hip shimmy. I don't know if that translates to Hawaiian or not. Hope you and all the wee ones are feeling well and soon! Have a good weekend! And we haven't had a cheeky picture of Spenser in a while. :)

what do you man by line spacing? are you adding spaces (returns) between paragraphs and it's ignoring them?

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
