I love you but....

My kids have been driving absolutely insane...like CRAZY!! I blame it on the weather, which, incidentally, has been beautiful.

So what else can I blame it on?

Certainly it cannot be me.

Unless my nephew is right....

"Auntie, I love you, but I don't want to live with you"

Hee hee!

Don't worry, I wouldn't want to live with me either. At least until the weather changes! ;)

Yummmmm

Breadmakers rock! And make great bread while they rock! Oh my house smells good. And the nice crunchy crust is the best part. Though next time it's going to be set at light crust. Medium is almost too hard. (not for me but if the kids want to eat it...) So thanks Jason for finding such a great deal on such a great toy! :)

So, while having a bath with my eldest, she informs me that when she is married she is going to have 5 kids.
Boy
Boy
Girl
Girl
Boy

They've been named already too.
Ryan
Percy(changed from Elijah)
Cleara

I'll pick that one later (so she says)

at least she's waiting until she's married right? :)

In Her Words

"Rejoice the Lord he dressed them up of his choice..."

A combination of 'Rejoice the Lord is King' (Hymn 35:1)
and
'Hear how the Lord on Sini's Mountain, Addressed the people of His choice.' (Hymn 7 :1)

Felicity's memory work in her words! :)

Laundry

Anyone who knows me (since being married) should know that I have 2 chores that I absolutely detest.

Dishes

and

LAUNDRY!

The dishes one has been solved with a second hand dishwasher that is SO nice!!! I've had it for a year and a half and cannot begin to wonder how I ever survived without it!! :)

And the Laundry! Ugh. It's not the washing, it's not the drying, it's not even the folding. It's the putting it away! Double Ugh.
My dear husband even moved all the dressers downstairs so I could fold laundry and put it away, conveniently never leaving the laundry room to get it all done.

It didn't work!

Getting an outfit for the kids would mean digging thru the pile in the laundry room. Albeit clean, some of it folded. Most of it just dumped there. *sigh*

Then my (7yr old Maytag!!!!!) dryer died. Like REALLY died this time. Not just a flipped breaker this time.

Oh, J, I found in the instruction manual that if your dryer still turns but doesn't heat up you should check the breaker as most dryers work off of a two household breaker system. I kid you not. It's in there! I'll show you!
But I digress...

Ok, my dryer died. We bought a new one. Brought said dryer home, changed the door position and voila, another dryer broken! Ugh. (SO not our fault. Not even because J turned the door around. They gave us a broken one!) At least we hadn't put this one downstairs yet!

So back to the store, got another one and WOW!!!
I think I've always had a faulty dryer! My old one NEVER heated up like this. Done in a flash! Saweet!

And now my laundry room is clean of clean laundry! And I actually folded and PUT IT AWAY!
And I'm going to keep doing that. It looks much nicer.
DUH!

:)

Just thought I'd share the break thru of my day!
Now, on to the rest of my day!
