Like Mother

Like Daughter.
I just had to do it. I'm sorry. (It's not like I didn't warn you ...) It's supposed to be 60+ degrees tomorrow and nothing says spring like new spring clothing. Cherry clothing.

Is it disturbing that my past two Monday posts are cherry filled? Don't worry. The cherry fabric is almost gone. Almost.

This past Thursday the 24-hour stomach bug hit our family. Mason came home early from school with a belly ache. Carter came home (regular time) complaining of a belly ache. And I awoke 1:00 a.m. Friday with a belly ache. Thankfully it only lasts 24 hours. I lost five pounds that day. Not too shabby, I suppose. So far, five of our eight have been afflicted. I'm hoping it's outta here. Stay well.

I'm sorry you were sick, but I'm glad you're feeling better now.

LOVE the cherry top!!!!! Did I tell you I bullied DianNe into making one of those tops for herself? She didn't pay attention to my instructions to make the back all one piece though and now she regrets it. She'll learn to listen to us some day.

I have been waiting for a post on your cherry top. I knew you were going to make one for yourself.

Sorry to hear you and some of your family members were not well. Here's hoping you have seen the end of it.

I noticed you are wearing the pendant in the photo too :)

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
