Today is the last official day of our road trip, not counting the travel day tomorrow. Who knows when I'll be able to get this posted, as the stars must align for me to find free wi-fi, have the computer with me, feel justified in taking up family-time for mama to get a post copy-pasted into blogger, etc. etc. etc. For the moment, everyone is … [Read more...]
So My Scatter-brainedness Isn’t Really a New Thing
We're officially in the middle of our roadtrip. Being forgetful/scatter-brained means that it is guaranteed that I will forget something. The only question is what it will be, and how important it will be. Leaving the house for a vacation is one of the many times when I am extremely grateful for my hubby. He . . . completes . . . … [Read more...]
Focus Check Friday
It’s Friday, and I’m at the Savvy Blogging Summit in Breckenridge, Co. Actually, it’s Tuesday, and I’m desperately trying to get a few posts written and scheduled to go up while I’m at the Summit. So basically, this post is a blindfolded shot in the dark, with only a little info to help me know where to aim. I’m at the Summit right this … [Read more...]
Purse Clutter
I found this in one of my many boxes of random things. Any guesses what it is? It’s a salt and pepper shaker to carry in your purse. It’s meant to be used when you bring your lunch to work, or go on a picnic, whatever. Except that even though I’ve been out of the workplace for quite a while now, I remember all of the lunch areas, even … [Read more...]
A Gadget That I Actually Use . . . No Really
I’m going to give full credit to my 8yo here. He’s the one who pulled the cord on this lightbulb moment. My shower has been pretty clean since I started doing my weekly tasks. Before that . . . not so much. One night, pre-regular-shower-cleaning, I noticed that he was taking extra long in the shower. I didn’t think much of it until I took … [Read more...]
Vocabulary Lessons from the Summer of Clean
Elbow Grease – Cannot be bottled or purchased, must come directly from the elbow of the person using it. Varying degrees of pain may be involved. Toilet bowl – The part of the toilet that looks like a bowl. Fairly self-explanatory, but a hilarious mental picture to a 6 year old boy. Unwieldy – Difficult to carry due to shape, size, etc. Used … [Read more...]
Conversations with Normal People – Scene 2
Conversations with Normal People – Scene 2 The cast: Slob – Outgoing, funny, most people don’t know that she is a slob. Normal Person – Low key, easygoing. Slob’s Daughter – 4 years old, loves to make conversation with new people, absurdly verbal. The Cleaning Woman – Hardworking and friendly. The setting – A School Cafeteria, all … [Read more...]
Focus Check Friday – The Vacation Edition
It’s Friday. It’s summer. It’s also the day we begin our road trip. Focus in this situation is more necessary than in a normal week, but oh so much more difficult to achieve. At this point, the bags are packed and loaded, snacks have been purchased, medicines and toothbrushes are ready to go, and I’ve made my statement that as long as we have … [Read more...]
June Decluttering Update
When I saw on Twitter that Amy over at The Finer Things in Life had posted the June decluttering update linky, I thought that she must be doing it early since she's going to the Savvy Blogging Summit. Except that June IS over. Wow. So here goes, my decluttering progress for June: (I fully expected to open another browser, click on the … [Read more...]
