  • A recap of yesterday… er.. the week..

    SO. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you have a little bit of an idea how my week has gone!

    While getting ready to head out to our church’s district conference, I have been cleaning. (I hate to come home to a messy house, don’t you?)

    In the midst of cleaning I kneeled on the broken axel of a matchbox car. Of course it was rusty too what broken matchbox car axel isn’t rusty?  It went in the whole way.. about a half an inch (sorry to gross you out)

    My last tetanus shot? 13 years ago!

    Off to the doctor! Two Band-Aid’s and one shot later It was all good. Sorry no picture of the offending object. The nurse practitioner tossed it in the sharps box!

    Well with the boys at camp for 3 days the house stayed clean for more than 24 hours. So that was good because my knee hurt!!

    Fast forward to yesterday. Off we went to pick up the boys at camp, where Brian proceeded to step in the hole dubbed the ‘ankle breaker’ Well you saw the pictures on my wordless Wednesday post.. off to the urgent care and x-rays and new crutches. He is feeling better but this leaves the driving chores to me!

    Meanwhile.. back at home… Azia was being AWESOME and staring the boy’s camp laundry. Unfortunately something went wrong and when the washer went to drain it went ALL OVER THE PLACE!

    Apparently it was a flood of massive proportions. She and Jaxom took quick action and got the washer stopped, and sopped up the mess. They did great!!

    So, I am off to get him to write out some lists of what we need to pack, so I don’t forget anything!

    I have a Finished Friday of a little craftiness to show off tomorrow! So look for that!

    Well it sure has been quite quiet around here. That is just a reflection of how busy I have been. I have been out and back to Indiana twice. Once for a mission trip, and the second time for a quick trip to my publisher for a video shoot.

    I have been knitting, and sewing a bit. I have a few things to show off once I sort out access to my pictures on our new hard drive.

    It is so hard to get much done when it’s so hot you don’t feel like even moving an inch! The midwest heat wave is hitting HARD today!!

    Time to get off the computer and sip something cool in front of the fan!!

Paying the bills…
