OKay, Mother was here for the long weekend, and with her help I was able to get 16 quilts put together..woohoo. NOw I am trying to get the quilting done on them, but my time has run out. DH leaves for NY tonight, AWANA starts tonight, Karate is tomorrow night, both children have mild uypper respiratory issues, and I am once again on antibiotics for a sinus infection that started back in June.
The last load of laundry is in the washer (including one of DSs socks that I found in the litter box - not sure how it got there), next to last load is finishing up in the dryer, hallway is completed and painters tape is all down, DSs sheets have been changed, dresser cleaned off a bit, last round of laundry folded and put away..........
........lunch eaten, DD down for nap, mail in box BEFORE mailman arrives, no sewing done today, run to store for fire extinguishers, cat litter, plungers, whatever else we didn't think to already buy......still have to finish going through clothes to ship for Katrina victims (Yes, Tricia, it IS coming, I just have to dig through everything, and the box had to be taped back together after ripping down one side)....
on top of all this, I am developing a sty and it isn't responding to the usual treatment that I give these things....and did I mention that during bathtime last night, DD was having so much fun spalshing DS that she didn't realize what she had done in the tub?? Kids immediately out of tub, scrubbed down with diaper wipes while DH and were trying not to laugh/get ill. Tub now spotless as I scrubbed the crap out of it (no pun intended) with bleach and hot water
And then I come here and find that the ongoing verbal battle has yet to wind down and I wonder if everybody is just letting stress get to them, if somebody is just oging through serious PMS, or if we have forgotten that EVERY HUG is filled with love, even if all the blocks aren't included, that all blocks can be used in SOME quilt, that we all make mistakes and accidentally step on each others toes and the easiest thing to do is apologize, take a deep breath and scoot our butts back to the cyber-quilting frame
