“Eden, I needed that spoon to get MY yogurt!” “Sorry Lib.” “Just wash it.” Eden washes the table. “Not the table Eden! The spoon!” Eden wipes the spoon with the dishrag. “Eden! Wash the spoon in the sink, not with that rag! You’re just like Amelia Bedelia.” I love it.
Hmm… poor, poor boy.
"Did you go potty?" "No, I couldn’t." “Why not?” “Because I tried to open the toilet, but the lid was too heavy.” We’ve been dealing with vomit – or did deal with it, since it seems to have passed. Sterling, though, must be experiencing loss of strength. Or something like that.
Adrienne’s helpful hints #256
Spreading a thin layer of honey in a strip along the front edge of your cabinets allows you to fill the cabinet to the line and those pesky items that protest the overfill will stick into the honey and stay put when you open the cupboard! Problem solved! Be aware that doing this on lower […]
After spending an hour cleaning the tub that I scrubbed less than a week ago, I’ve come to one conclusion: the maize color that was so popular in the 70’s? It was for a reason. Instead of Rust-B-Gone, it was “Rust? Where?” I mean, really, if you can’t see it, who cares? I find myself […]
Ruby wins.
Ruby likes to procrastinate at bedtime. She’ll go potty, get her diaper on, and then decide she needs to go again. And again. As many times as she can convince you. Diaper off. Diaper on. Off. On. Tired of this scheme, the new rule: go before the diaper goes on. Go to bed. Stay there! […]
I sneezed 4 times this morning and was informed by my son that it was funny because I had “three snore sneezes and only one ‘Bless you!’”. Funniness. I was nursing Charlie this morning without covering myself, sitting at the computer in front of the window. A Dodge Charger drove past, stopped in front of […]
Who done it?
The toilet won’t flush; Blaine’s getting something to fix it, and I gathered the kids together to find out who flushed something they weren’t supposed to. Ruby was quiet, I asked her what she flushed, and finally admits it, scared and whispering. “My poopy.” Oh, honey.
Thank you, my Dear.
As a bridal shower gift, my now sister-in-laws bought me a set of pans. A few years ago, Blaine found a matching saucepan, larger than I had, and added that to my collection. The littlest saucepan, once well-used, had gotten too small to be useful with meal prep for my crew. Today, we hit a […]
Can’t win at losing.
1 cleared garden plot + 1 lawn mower to mulch up the, ahem, vegetable plants pulled = 1 shattered pane in the double-paned sliding glass door Now that must have been one rock hard cherry tomato. Or a rock – it is Missouri soil after all. Just to be an optimist, it was the foggy […]
Calendar confusion and scared stripes – or something like that.
Ah, the busy-ness of this house has taken over. Between that and the internet seeming to only like Blaine, I’m finally getting this updated. And just for the record, first I wrote business. Because that should be busyness. And while business works there too, I fixed it. Because, well, “business” is something I have to […]
