Well, the playdate was cancelled. The one little girl woke up sick today (she'll miss school too) so we'll do this another day. One of Cat's other friends came over and they've been playing all morning. I just finished cleaning up lunch dishes...soon we'll finish up getting ready for Catherine to go to school.
I started organizing the linen closet yesterday. I've already done 3 loads of laundry today. I need to finish folding the last basket, and run the vaccuum, and yeah, my house is still clean! :) LOL I'm really loving this!
DH just called, he wants to be slackers and skip church tonight and take the kids to the park tonight since it's an absolutly gorgeous day! It got down to 40degrees last night...Loving it!!!!

My Mom is coming
...to visit us in just 20 days! :) Yeah!!!! My main goal is to have the living room painted before then...it won't happen during any weekend because they're all full. So it will have to happen during the week somehow! I'm really getting excited to see her too. She hasn't been here in over 3 years. The girls are excited too! They love their Nana. (To be honest they love all their grandparents...it's great that they have all 4, I just wish they could see them more often! Right now they're lucky if they see each other once a year.)
We've got a play date here at the house tomorrow morning. I'll make banana bread & coffee for me and Jenn, hopefully all the kids won't destroy the girls room. I cleaned it up last week, and so far, every night we clean it back up and it's maintaining itself pretty good. My girls are getting better at keeping their room clean. They think it's a game, and really they enjoy being able to find what they want and having room to play with it. It's not so overwhelming to them anymore. I think it all has to do with having containers with lids, instead of just open tubs.
You know what I really want? A big chocolate milkshake. I really, really, really want one! There isn't any icecream here at the house, and I don't want to leave the house at 10:30 just to go get one either...I don't need to be eating one so late. I haven't had a milkshake in so long...I can't even remember the last time. Hmmm..... ...do you want one now? Yeah, I'm evil, I know it!

Weird Facts About Me
From Tenika at 2Peas a meme n (mëm): is an idea that is shared and passed from blog to blog, like a question posted in one blog and answered in many other blogs.
{meme #12} 10 "Weird Facts About Me"
{meme #12} 10 "Weird Facts About Me"
- I refuse to step over drainage grates in roads.
- I can't stand to see someone rub their eyebrow backwards.
- Belly Button lint grosses me out!
- I don't "love" shoes, I'd rather be barefoot.
- I HAVE to sleep with a fan on (even during the coldest part of winter)
- I have never broken a bone, but I've had 2 surgeries (within a month of each other).
- I am 1 of 11 kids and there are 2 sets of twins in my family (1 set of identical twins, and 1 set fraternalall, which I am 1).
- Generally I eat one food at a time (ie..if there are 3 things on my plate; chicken, carrots & green beans, I'll eat all of my carrots before I eat the green beans, etc...)
- I can't take a shower without towelll nearby to dry my face/eyes as soon as they get wet. (Water burns/irritates my eyes)
- I have random morbid thoughts sometimes (I'll be crossing the street, and imagine being hit by a car, and never walking again. Yeah, things like that!)

I've been keeping the house really clean, and I love it! I hope I can keep it up! :) It feels so good to come home to a clean house, or to have it nice and clean when friends drop by unexpectedly.
I have lots of little projects to do though. My linen closet is in terrible condition. If my mother were to see it, she wouldn't believe that I could let it get that way! :) I need to take it one shelf at a time I guess! :)
I still need to paint the living room!

I am tired!
Monday may have been mellow...but the rest of this week has been so busy!
Until just now, I've only sat down once and for less than 30 minutes! If you saw the girls room and their closet now though, you'd understand! :) It looks amazing!
I hope my new system (toys in sterlite boxes w/lids in the closet) will keep the room cleaner (well, longer than what it takes them to mess it up now) :)
Do you realize that since Catherine started school the last week of August, she has not had a repeat in her wardrobe?!? This kid has way to many clothes! Oh yeah, my laundry is almost all cought up too! :)
I've still got to work on altering my dress for the MMDP Saturday night.
We've got to get a gag gift for our friend that's turning 40 (surprise party tomorrow night)
That's it for now...more stuff to do!

To be a Flapper...
...well for one night anyways! :) Why? For Halloween? No! For a Murder Mystery Dinner this Saturday evening.
Today I went scavaging thru isles and isles at our local Salvation Army Thrift store to create my one of a kind Flapper dress! :) If I had known about this earlier then I think I would have ordered one from online somewhere! :)
I've got a black dress, that I'll cut to the correct length, got a spool of black (w/shiny stuff) fun fur for the "fringe" look. I've got some mary janes...I'll make a head band (might need to find a feather...or I'll just do without it). I got home and realized the beads didn't make it home for the long necklace, so I've got to get that.
I hope it all turns out okay! :) I'll share pictures if it does! ;) Oh, I also got lots of black beads that I'll hand sew on so that the dress has some "shine" to it! :) This is going to be a lot of work!
Bobby's outfit is easy! I would love to find a hat for him though!

Mellow Monday
This weekend was busy! Saturday I picked Catherine up from her slumber party. Later that afternoon, I attended my friends Bridal Shower. It was fun!
I didn't take a picture of the wedding card that I made for the new couple, but here's what it said (I attached a pretty layered white flower with a brad onto a creamy white card)
The front:
Love is.....
The inside: (first letter in a different font for more emphasis)
F riendship closer than any other,
O pening your heart to your lover,
R omantic times together,
E verlasting pleasure,
V ulnerability beyond measure,
E ternal treasure,
R ejoicing in each other,
Love is ........forever!
Then, I put in a little letter that I wrote with a bit of advice (she's getting married young...just like I did).
Sunday we went to church, then over to friends for lunch and a relaxing afternoon of just hanging out, while the kids all played together.
Today I cleaned the house back up from the tornado that ran through here saturday (known as the kids and DH while I was out). I also did laundry. Well, started to anyways...Abby locked us all out of her bedroom so all their clothes were unatainable. :(
Catherine had to bring snacks for her and all her classmates today...so I had all 26 lil' baggies made up for her. She wanted to get out of the house and go to the mall this evening...but it's too late for that...so perhaps tomorrow we'll go to the fun park (the Imagination Station) or to the mall when it opens at 10 before her school starts.
I have lots of laundry to do still though, since I only got 2 loads done! Last week was crazy and I didn't keep on top of it! (I hate when I do that...or should I say "don't" do that!) :) LOL
Have you seen this yet? Check this out...especially if you blog! :) I'm working on my 43 things.
