Mono; note to self and a peek! (Tags)

I'm a "spit cleaner," meaning, I do the horrible, lick the finger, and wipe my kids face! It works great when I don't have a wipe and we're getting ready to take a picture. Especially one I have to pay for!

Which reminds me of another do NOT... finger licking. Yeah... that's hard. However, I'm being groomed for... better behavior? (haha!)

No sharing drinks, which really sucked today at Sonic when the girls got a Watermelon Slush, and I couldn't try it! Or when Alex wanted to try my miserable concoction of blue coconut and cranberry!

I'm still miserable. My kids are sad that I don't give them spit baths and wet slobbery kisses, and I'm just... miserable.


On a different note, I have a "share." I haven't finished what I've been working on because I have a crappy printer. So I have to wait till Alex gets home tomorrow to really SHARE what I've been doing! :)





Yes, I even pulled out my sewing machine for this one! She was a little dusty, and needed some tender love and care before she let me use her. She has been neglected for... three years now, at least. Poor baby! But she came through, as she always does. I bought my Janome ("Ja-know-me so well" is her alter ego!) 10 years ago, and she still works like a champ! (She is my sewing machine, in case you missed it!)


I want to revisit the tags, and I will a few times over the next few days, until Christmas at least. I PROMISE I will have projects tomorrow! (After I get my printed papers.)

Naughty or Nice?

As I sit here writing out the kids "Christmas list" I can't help but wish it were a little colder, and a little less green!

All of my lovers slept through the night. Which means, Parker and I were wide awake at six am. The girls, to my surprise, slept until seven.

Anyways, this Christmas list is going to gramma, so I made her a card last night to send with the list. I've got a few other things to mail her as well. I picked up a magnetic "Naughty/Nice" pad of paper! She'll enjoy that. She's so easy to please. She's always very grateful for whatever I mail, it doesn't matter how big or small the package!

In making our list I asked Gabriella what she thinks would be some good ideas for Parker, in response, she says: "That sounds really good." I said, "I didn't even say anything! Do you speak English, or do you speak another language?" She says, "Yup!" lol.

Anyways, here the card that's going to Grams. More to come tomorrow!










Todays pet peeve, people who do not acknowledge something has been received. If I take time out of my busy day to make you something, I want to know when you get it, and that you liked it. (Or hated it!) Do you know how long it takes me to go to the post office? To get three kids ready to go, just to drive five minutes. It takes me longer to get the kids unloaded then it does for them to check my package, label it, and put it in the right area to send off. If it's a card I send, and it's something I've hand made, I expect a response as well. My brother, who is 9, calls to thank me for everything I send him. It doesn't matter if I've printed photos of his Soccer game and mailed them to him, made him something, or bought him a magazine. He is so appreciative. There is one thing each and every single one of my family members can say about me... I am VERY appreciative of everything sent our way. I always call to let the person know we/I have received the package, letter, card, whatever it may be. And I ALWAYS send out a thank you card. It might be a week or two after the fact, however, I always send something in return. I can not stand when people complain about their gifts not being recognized when they don't recognize things sent to them
