Yep! I am human just like you!

Sung to the tune of Raw Hide

Don't try ti just ignore it

Laundry....

"Hidden in the mounds of your dirty laundry"

The line is going to be happily full in the morning
Today the children's hearts came first.

I took them to the mall today and had a wonderful time.
They are learning budgeting.
Oh you guys these babies just blessed me so much.
Dove noticed the price comparison of a toy they wanted and expressed herself as appalled to her brother!
It was so funny I had to cover my mouth and turn as to not let on I heard her.

We went out on my Pei Wei gift card that Doves class had given me.
Dove had a real hard time receiving this offer.
I had told them however that I would not disrespect their father by not adhering to budget. I really hope to be able to go camping on more time this month.

They received it with gratitude and we had a really nice lunch date together.

We then went to target.
They each had the allowance and that was it.
Dove have saved about a week and a half worth on top of what I owed them.

What she and he wanted left them each $2.50 short.
I told Dove that she could owe me.
And to my JOY!!!

She said "no way! I am not going to owe anyone anything! I hate owing money!!!!!!!
WHOOPEE
We did it!
We got it into her!

When I told Steve he almost teared up.

Funny yesterday I glanced over at this space...
I was up on a foot stool
face to face with my tea pots...
Look at the apron rack.
Well some things just belong.
Perfectly belong here don't they?

My new day spa
:)

the tub is set for a pedicure at any moment.
My life happens in moments...
Most times the moment is lost for there I am wanting yet no time to gather all the tools to do it.
The bath pillow is now ever set to nurture a tired woman.
It is normally kept in a cupboard.

The flowers are


Coreopis= Always cheerful, love at first sight
Cherry Blossom = A good education

Now for nail care.
I have ignored my hands most of my life.
They have been brutally bitten in times of great stress.
It is high time I give then center attention.
I stopped biting my nails this spring.

So here is everything I need to care for my hands.
The day this was set well I sat and did my hands and nail care with respect for myself.
The hand is one of the kiln fired pieces I made years ago it held my ring.
I love hands.
funny now I begin to love my own hands.
That is alcohol to prep the nail for polish.
Some of these polished will be too old.
Over the years I have tried to care for my hands and just forget or get too distracted.
Then the cuticle would dry and I would tear it and then bite the nail and so one.
Nail biting was one of the outlets I used for displaced emotional pain.
Now when I hurt I have learned to just use my words and be kind to myself.

My husband is his fathers Son.
Here is Doves tooth brush.
She has braces and this old electric sonna care was dead and the battery no longer would recharge.
So Steve re soldered it to have a different current and to run off of the umbilical of a flash light battery.
He really is very creative in his own right.
You know to replace this thing is a good $60.
Reuse/ repair and reinvent.

Well off to make a late loaf of bread for my hubbies lunch tomorrow.
See ya on the flip side.
