Mouse, what Christmas you had. Don't you hate having sick kids - especially when you are out of town? I'm glad he's better and hope everyone is completely well soon.
Elizabeth, hope you are feeling well tomorrow. I hate when people are so sick over the holidays. Terry was off from Christmas Eve until New Years Day but was sick the entire time. He's griping tonight because he feels SO much better today and has to go back to work tomorrow and didn't get to do what he wanted on his vacation.
Kids around here are out for a teacher work day tomorrow too but my oldest two start back to Spanish in the morning at 8:00 and Sandi has Karate at 5:30 so we are back in the swing again already. I'm sort of glad.
I love that blanket too and my kids are asking for one each now. LOL! It will take me awhile and I'm not starting any right away. I want to get my house cleaner first.
Elizabeth, does she sell blankets at the Dillard House? I know there are crafts for sale there. Our youth group is looking at going for a day to ride horses and eat there. They were going to try over the holidays but didn't make it.
I bought several books on clearance at Wal-Mart with different Pooh patterns for those blankets and some plastic canvas and cross stitch. I'll be working on some of those for this next year and now that I've done that Eeyore blanket, I know I can make the blanket and use any cross stitch pattern on it.
I did change the color of my hair. LOL! I was keeping it sort of dark auburn - more red than my natural color but Terry liked it. However, I was ready for some sort of change and couldn't make up my mind what. I just knew that keeping it dark was going to cost me more because I've been having it done every 6 weeks but my roots were showing really bad by 4 weeks.
Lisa said if she pulled it through a cap and did blonde to blend for now, I'd only have to do it every 3 months and gradually the gray would grow in and then we'd just be highlighting instead. It costs a little more but for every 3 months instead of 4-6 weeks - it's worth it. Terry said this morning he thinks he's beginning to get used to it now. However, my MIL and SIL both said they couldn't find me Saturday morning at Chick-Fil-A because they were looking for the wrong color hair and it's been over 2 weeks. LOL!
Joyce, will you be turning the milk crates on their sides and using them as a support for the table? If they are on their sides you'll still be able to use them for some storage space too.
Oh, and yes, that was FlyLady's calendar behind me. I LOVE it! It has such big squares to write in that I can put our entire schedule of homeschool activities, appointments, church activities and menus on there. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! This is the second one I've had. The first one was 2002 and I didn't buy one last year and regretted it all year.
I also have her feather duster but my youngest two have played with it and I need to find it again. LOL! I'd love to have her control journal but I can't see paying that much for it. I wish they would just post on the web for download the pages so you can print what you need and not cost us a bunch of money. I did print out her holiday one and thought they should have just expanded on that some. Guess I'm too cheap to swing for something like her journal when she has told us how to build our own.
I like her portable office notebook (can't remember what it's called) but I can't swing that much money for it either.
Well, I've enjoyed hearing from you ladies and hope we hear from everyone else real soon. I need to get a few things done before bed time. My sink hasn't been shined in several days (shhhh!) and I need to send kids to bed since they have to be up early again tomorrow.
Night!
