I just want to do my Laundry!!!


All I want to do is to be able to do my laundry!! The rain has another idea. I am very grateful for rain, but couldn't it rain on Wednesday and Thursday instead of my laundry day which is Monday and Tuesday. Monday is my usual laundry day, but since I needed to see the midwife and take care of some other errands it was going to be today. Needless to say I was so dissapointed when I awoke to the sound of rain. I am trying to cut back on all of our expenses and I really don't want to use the clothes dryer. My two drying racks are quit large, but it just seems like things take so long to dry. But as a "old southern Proverb says", Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do, or do without. So I guess I am going to make do. The good Lord above has provided me with them and I shall use them.
I was so excited to mail out my tea cosy for the swap at the 'ville, but when I went to address the package...I found I only had my partners house number and street. She forgot to send me her town, state, and zip code as well. I guess I will just send it out tomorrow. I hope she likes it! I have been working late the past couple of nights on a crocheted dress for Elisabeth. THis is a dress that should have been done a month and a half ago, but I procrastinated. I need to get it done because I need to start on my son's blanket. Which I wanted done by the end of this month. It won't happen. ;) Oh well.
Even though I wasn't able to do laundry like I would have liked today the children and I where very excited to take DH lunch today. He was only working about 30 minutes away. WHich is really close for him! We all enjoyed the short amount of time together. Speaking of DH I should probably get to making supper. We are having, spaghetti w/homemade sauce, homemade wheat dinner rolls with homemade butter, salad and maybe some cream cheese truffles if I have time to get them done! May all have a God-filled day!

Melanie, do you have a fan that you can set to blow on the drying racks? Or put them in front of a sunny window. That was all I had in our last house for laundry. It was always nicer in the winter as I would put them around the stove.

In the winter I do place them over the "vents" for when the furnace is running. Most of our table fans have died. I will see if I can figure something out for today though! THanks for the thought.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
