ups and downs

Truman spilled an entire (yes… a very full) pitcher of lemonade all over the kitchen table… through all 4 cracks… all over the base… to the floor… all over the chairs… everywhere…. oh, like 5 minutes before dinner. A downer.

We now have a cleaner table (at least between the cracks). The floor may still need some scrubbing. Still… on the Up and up.

The kids seemed to be screaming at each other or melting down whenever someone came to my door today. A downer.

They understood and said they’d “been there.” Up and up.

Pretty much don’t like talking about the budget. A downer.

Talked with sisters and mom today. Up and up.

Dinner was a bit dried out since we had a big mess to clean up before we ate it. A Downer.

At least we had food to eat. Up and up.

I made Pioneer Woman apple dumplings for dessert. Really on the Up and up.

Goobs stuck on the counter. A downer.

Hannah helped load the dishwasher without being asked. Up and up.

A sweet lady named Faith gave us a homemade crocheted steel-wool pot scrubber. Up and up and a major smile.

Seriously – 3 members of my family let it rip within 30 seconds. Seriously people? They laughed their heads off.  A funny Downer.

Jimmy bought Gas-x today. Up and up.

Trying to figure out companionship changes for Visiting Teaching. A Downer because it’s quite complicated and takes hours and hours.

We finally got all the reports in from the vt supervisors. Up and up.

Maybe spent time on the computer when I should have been doing the dishes or folding laundry. A Downer.

But am lovin’ doing my etsy shop. It is fun and fills up my creative spot inside. Up and Up.

Here are a few orders I’ve done this past month.

p.s. i love the etsy lovelies at the top of this post … sorry i don’t have links for them all.
