Another Day

By
Well, my new laundry soap recipe finally caked up into a "powder" after 24 plus hours. Now, hopefully I can use it soon to see how it is. Trisha usually brings her laundry here every Monday; but, for some reason she didn't this week. Maybe she will bring it tomorrow.

So, once again, I didn't get everything done that I wanted today. But, what do I expect. I didn't get up until noon as usual. But,  I did get the squash cooked in prepration for the muffins. This was the first time that I have ever made squash. I have never liked it. But, I am trying to eat healthier. Well, it was easy to cook and when smothered in butter and salt was actually good. I shared some with Katie and she loved it also. So, I saved what I needed for the recipe that I will try to make tomorrow. The rest we had for supper tonight. I just might have squash on a regular basis now. Amazing!

I also made the cookies and am undecided about that. It took so long to make. We will see if it satisfies my sweet cravings. I also made egg salad for sandwiches which I didn't have planned. The eggs were cooked to perfection. And I managed to get all the dishes done. Was kid free today and it was nice and quite. So it wasn't a bad day at all.

Tomorrow, I will try to get those muffins made and I have a pork roast out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow.

So goes another day of my boring life. We will see what tomorrow brings. I hope I don't have to go to Massena tomorrow. That will put a damper in my plans if I don't get up early enough.  Hope everyone enjoyed their day. Oh, and I even managed to knit and have computer time :-)

Sounds like a laid-back, Michele kind of day:)

Did you get to use the laundry soap today? How did it work?

Divorce

By
My mom and dad split up when I was 9 years old. The marriage was pure hell for them and me. Yes, me! I had to hear my mom crying late at night because my father was out after work doing god knows what. (Well, we know cheating was going on). When he was around it was pure hell. I walked on eggshells and was sick to my stomach most of the time. My father acted like he just hated my mom. I didn't feel like he liked me much either. I was the only reason that they even got married. There was so much fighting, crying, and my mother had breakdowns, and I had to hear my father force my mother into sex acts. It was all quite sickening. So when he did leave for good, it was a relief! Although, I was pissed at them both. Why the hell did they even get married? It was the end of the 60s and my father grew up with strict religious parents who instilled in him that if you knock a girl up; you marry her. So, that's what he did. And that was so NOT the right thing to do. Although, if he

My First Wallet

By
I signed up for a craft exchange hosted by Craftaholics Anonymous . This is my 3rd summer participating. I choose this small organizing wallet to make for my partner.  This is the first wallet I have made and I think it turned out well. I follow a blog called Sew Can She . They have many cool craft tutorials featuring different tutorials from other blogs. So, the pattern actually came from LBG Studio . Next time, I will know what I'm doing and will make a few changes.  Front view. Open view Back view Inside Left. Inside Right. The right pocket is just big enough to put a small memo pad in. Also the left side holds cards or whatever you would like. I think it's a really neat thing to have in your purse. One always needs paper for something and extra room for do-dads. Also, kids would love this. I'm going to make some more for the granddaughters.

Grandparenthood - What They Don't Tell You

By
Being a grandparent is great. I love it! But there is another side. A side that is never talked about. I am not the only one who feels this way. I ask other grandparents and they agree. When I had my 4 children, I NEVER worried so damn much about them as I do my grandchildren. I don't know why that is. Or at least I didn't until yesterday. I have a theory anyway. Will talk about that in a moment. First, I want to tell you that it's my 2 daughters that are giving me these grand kids. My oldest granddaughter is 2 1/2 years old AND I have 4 granddaughters. YES, I REPEAT I HAVE 4 GRANDDAUGHTERS 2 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER!!! Now what is the problem with this? Well, since it's my daughters, I am worried and scared to pieces for them the whole 9 months and have to listen to them complain about everything that is wrong with them. I try to tell them things are normal, blah, blah, blah. But in my mind, I'm thinking maybe something is seriously wrong and it's my fault for t
