It's too misleading to just say that I made a gold and aqua pineapple skirt for Hols and she's now ready for a trip to Miami and everything is so perfectly together. So along with photos of the skirt, some additional confessions:
I bought fabric and zippers and such to make dresses and more fabric for more skirts. Nothing is happening with that.
I forgot how to make the simplest article of clothing and did it incorrectly, adding time to the process. I also initially made it upside down. (In my defense- THERE WERE A MILLION OTHER THINGS HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)
Sometimes I put clean, folded
laundry back into the dryer just because I need to get it out of the way.
I fall asleep in my clothes pretty much all the time now. 2 AM is the unofficial the deadline for waking up to brush teeth and put on pajamas. If I sleep past that...it's the whole night in jeans.
If I find popcorn on the couch, I just throw it behind me onto the kitchen floor so it can join its buddies, cracker crumbs and additional popcorn.
I don't shower every day and I love the days when I don't shower because it's not as much work. But somehow I don't get up any earlier on the days that I do shower.
Buying a Diet Coke from the coke machine at church makes me feel spiritually horrible because I could have found a better use for that dollar.
I want to make my kids healthy lunches, but today I bought Handi Snacks.
I have never once done a workbook with any of the kids. I must give off the workbook vibe because people give them to me, but no.
Once I threw away every coloring book in our house.
Once I threw away a stack of thank you notes that I had already written because I couldn't seem to get them to the mailbox and I needed them out of my way.
Our van is the quintessential minivan with layers of crap.
I have a lot of other nice qualities as well.
