ah, ha! I am one step ahead of you very smart cookies! I’m sorry I didn’t mention in the previous post that I already have an island and I have managed to shove as much of my pantry in there that I humanly could! I have considered putting all my baking items in the island…

thank you all so much for your caring words! I really appreciate it. and you know, at the end of the day, when I’ve sighed my way all over the place and I’m at the very lowest point possible, I always have my blog gals to cheer me up. you are always here to give…

well, our family watering hole could take it no longer. it decided to call a strike this afternoon. my oldest son woke me up this morning yelling from the toilet.yes, yet another victim of the runs! I walked past the bathroom after about 3 of his trips to the toilet and then I saw it….…

well, today was a very eventful day. my folks watched the kiddo’s all day so Jason and I could get what was left finished! finished. a word that, lately, seems to have lost it’s definition. just when I’ve finished one thing, two or three more pop up beside me,behind me,in front of me,all around me!…

I was expecting much worse!at the very thought of tackling this grimy task, I pictured images of a huge pool of unidentifiable black goo. or a…

and yes. my husband knows.in fact, my husband is quite taken with him, as well. I’ve been using these “magical clean-y-do-wopper thingies” ever since they first hit the grocery store shelves.they are AWESOME!and for some reason, unbeknownst to myself, they hold some strange power over me. a cleaning power. a force, if you will.
