Mad Mimm

Woke up early, got child #1 to school, had a nice cup of coffee and looked at the forums while child #2 sat in a swingy chair, burbling and cooing all cute and baby-like. Made my bed, put dinner in the crock pot, had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, picked up Child #1 and fed him lunch. Fed Child #2 and put him down for a long nap. Then fed Child #1 a snack, then another snack, then another snack. Examined child #1 to see if in fact he had a hole in his body where all this food was falling out. All the snack preparations exhausted me so I decided to have a rest break on the sofa which turned into a cat nap, which was interrupted by child #1 requesting ETA for dinner (this was at 3:30 p.m.) Child #2 awoke from his nap and I spent some time cuddling him in a rocking chair. Spent some time doing that mommy thing where you hold your sleeping baby and can't get over how precious they are and hope you will remember that moment for ever and ever. Little darling fell asleep again and napped another hour (SCORE!) Husband came home and we ate a yummy dinner of chili. Husband put kids to bed and retired himself at the very late hour of 7:15 p.m., leaving me an entire evening to play on the computer uninterrupted. (again, SCORE!) Seriously, why am I not quilting??

Okay so looking back, pretty darned lazy day. (Izaquilter - you ran circles around me. I am thinking you have plenty of energy to spare!)

For what it is worth, most of my days are not this relaxed. I SWEAR!!!

Being Saturday here in Australia - I was to sew with friends didn't feel well enough. :(
Checked out a 'garage sale' - actually a paint shop closing down and got some great bargains and a couple of freebies as well.
So after 25 years of waiting we WILL be painting the interior of our home. Hubby sure doesn't like to renervate LOL

Swapped bedroom drawers taking out summer clothes , putting in fall and winter clothes. Washed and put away most of the summer clothes. Loaded car with items to take to Goodwill. Cleaned both bathrooms. Vacuumed. Then got a huge migraine and sat the rest of the day. Lol...that'll teach me to clean so much.

My day was FANTASTIC! Got to spend it with my "little man", just him and me! He's Greyson and he is my 4 month old GS. I am totally in love!!!

**Husband is out of town, yea!!!!!!!!!
Early morning as usual, Showered dressed for the day, reminded by my avatar "Lexi" and her "litter mate Catahoula Angel" that we needed to go for a walk & walked them 1 mile, breakfast, spent some time on computer with QB and on Craig's list looking for a job. Looked up a harrassing phone # for an elderly couple I know & suggested they report them to phone company. Re-dressed for lunch with an ex-coworker and spent the rest of the day there...
She has MS and has gotten worse. I worked for her Dad & with her for over 9 years. Caught up with ex-boss & the family which is why I spent 8 hours with them. May have helped with Networking for a job, since I appear to be age challenged and cannot land a job (I'm only 55) Came home, talked to my sister for a while & went to bed. Wow, I was exhausted!!! Not really, but I was tired.
Now I have to catch up from what I did not get finished yesterday. Cleaning house and laundry, etc. Can't mow the lawn, (oh darn) it's raining today. Hopefully I'll find time to sew this weekend, beacuse I'm having jaw surgery next week & probably will be off of my machine for a while.

Happy Quilting,
Susan

SNOW!!! How awful. It is 80 degree's in Iowa unheard of temps for this time of year...Connie move here no snow for sure until November such and such.

I have a buggy seat to recover today...am wanting to get to it but have to wait until he carries it in.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Well yesterday, Friday, was a good day for me after all. My SIL had a brain hemmorhage on Wednesday & had surgery as soon as she got to the hospital. In ICU, on ventilator & in drug induced coma, too soon to say what would be the result. Today, Friday, talked to my brother & he said they had removed the vent, were bringing her out of the coma & she was responding to voice commands to move arm & leg! He said she even answered him when he asked her a ?!! I am stunned to say the least! But relieved she is doing so well. T
Then I worked on finishing organizing my sewing/craft room that I had taken apart on Wednesday. This meant going thru lots of Junk, organizing fabric, putting it into bins & drawers. Feel so much better now that I don't have a 12" path to get to & from my machine! Wonder how long I can keep it this way before I destroy it again! Well, for now I'll just enjoy it as the neatest spot in the house!

After DH spent money on his golf membership yesterday he decided to tag along with me again to an estate auction and some more yard sales. Stayed at the auction long enough to look at everything and then leave. Junk! I would have called someone to haul it all away but that's just me. Did get some fabric at one sale so it was worth it. DH took me to the golf course so I could see how beautiful it was and thus redeem himself for spending the money. BTW it wasn't the money I objected to. We have a rule that over $100 we discuss the purchase! NO DISCUSSION! But I will get even!

The dogs decided I should listen to the two who weren't out walking with dad complain about the two who were, lol, and then they switched. Sheesh. I got up and checked out stuff on the computer, and looked up a couple of yard sales.

I found a sale where I bought two yards of nice fabric on a bolt that she had used for upholstrey, and not sure what the other was/is, but have 2 1/2 yds of it, and it is going to make WONDERFUL dog beds. Spent $2 on that, and .50 on a couple sample books with great little fabric pieces in it.

At another sale, I picked up 6 outdoor cushions for our plastic chairs. My butt is not skinny, but apparently it is getting tender in my old age, lol. But the best buy, I think, is the beautiful cabinet for my sewing machine. Naturally, it had to have the back part that holds the machine is gone (just what do they do with those?) but the rest of the cabinet is beautiful, and she sold it for $10. I can't seem to ever throw away any extra shelves from anything, so we had a nice smooth shelf to cut to size to place over the hole. My new Kenmore is now sitting at a right angle to my other machine, lol. Dh never said a word.

It started raining right after we got home, and the power has been on and off twice. As soon as it came back on this last time, I made coffee. Just in case it goes off again, lol. MUST HAVE COFFEE. Believe it or not, that was the worst part of the hurricanes for me...no coffee.
