Chunky Pendant


I ran into the fabric store a few days before Easter to find some more polka dot fabric. Somehow I ended up in their jewelry-making aisle. That's where I spied this big ... whatever it is. I knew it would make a fab pendant. After getting the package home, it says that it is a semi-precious turquenite and "turquenite = healing." Hmmmm. Maybe I need to wear it to see if it heals my achy back and knees. I'll let you know how that goes.

I might even slip it onto Sawyer's neck. He's sick again. He's coughing, has runny nose, and a fever and I realized he was wheezing early yesterday evening. Poor guy. We have a nebulizer, so I hooked him up immediately and he was able to get two treatments by the time he went to bed. He's miserable. And he just finished his antibiotic last night!

I;ve been wearing my big amber pendant lately for the same reason. And I have to say, whether it is real or in my head, I think it is working.

My baby went through 2 series of Antibiotics...and still had the runny nose, and ear infection. My Doctor ended up giving him an antibiotic shot, and he was doing better in a couple of hours.
Honestly! It was like a miracle.
The nurse said that they don't offer you the shot usually, you have to ask for it! You might want to check it out! It saved us!

Thinking healing thoughts for you and yours.

PS -- Your, "Somehow I ended up in their jewelry-making aisle." statement cracked me up. That's kinda like my, "Somehow I managed to eat all the kids' Easter candy."

Poor Sawyer, hope he is better now.

The pendant is really pretty. I don't think it is very chunky, just perfect.

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
