Troubled Tuesdays is basically my complaint day to complain about all of the troubles I have, which could range from what is happening on TV shows to who knows what.
- I made the dog cake and decorated it on Sunday. We did not have regular Crisco shortening for the frosting, only the butter flavored shortening so I used that. Big mistake! It taste okay, but nothing like the frosting normally taste. I was really disappointed with the outcome of this frosting and will not be using butter flavored Crisco ever again. I would rather make a late night run to the store then make that again.
- Derby smelled so funky yesterday that I could smell her on the ground when I was sitting on the couch. I finally caved and gave her a much needed bath. She was not very happy with me, but she smells so much better.
I hate getting a bath!
- I have been trying every day to clean something in the house, even if it is only cleaning off the kitchen table or folding and putting clothes away. As I look around, for every one thing I seem to accomplish three more things in the house get messed up.
- I ordered two purses from Target.com that I thought might work. When they came in the mail I was so surprised. They are huge. I may be able to make one work, but the other is monstrous. I am thinking about using it as a diaper bag and purse so that I don’t have to carry a purse and diaper bag. With P being this age I always have to not only have a diaper and wipes but an extra outfit and burp cloth.
Gray bag for purse/diaper bag.
Tan bag for regular purse.
- We got P’s picture taken yesterday and they turned out so cute. When we were there the photographer was telling me about baby blocks that have numbers and weeks, months, or years on the block. I love the idea of using the blocks to get P’s picture with every month and then every year as she gets older. If I got some I would start S at age 5 with them. I was going to order some which range in price from $15-$65, and realized B could cut the blocks for me and I can paint the numbers and words on the blocks. So glad I did not get click happy and buy the blocks before I realized B could make these.
- I changed the sheets on my bed Sunday night. (Usually B changes the sheets because it is easier for him.) I hate when PJ climbs up and lies on the covers. She always leaves hair, dirt and makes the covers smell like dog. I changed the sheets, went to get P who was sleeping in the living room and when I came back in the bedroom PJ had already climbed up on the bed to enjoy the clean sheets. So annoying!
What is troubling you?
