Yeah, this pretty much says it all....
My weekend has been soooooo boring. I'm not complaining, mind you....but I feel like such a lazy bum. Yesterday I did clean the porch; which entailed three buckets of water, a hand vac and the regular vac, and some good old fashioned elbow grease. JB has used it for a storage center for all the wood, tools, etc. needed for the tree house for so long, I just couldn't stand the mess anymore. Now, I have a nice sitting area again. If only the weather would cooperate so that I could sit out there without feeling like I was in a sauna.
Let's see....last night we did nothing. Today I finished my mountain of ironing....and I did it without burning myself! Go me! (Of course, I'm not the only one in j-land who has trouble with burning myself....right Ang? LOL) However, I made up for it by grabbing the handle of the skillet that had been in the oven warming the onions, which of course caused an immediate blister to form. I spent the entire dinner trying to eat with one hand whilst the other was soaking in a pyrex measuring cup with ice and water. That was Saturday and my finger is fine now. I did make a nice lunch for everyone today without searing my fingerprints off....
After we had lunch of bbq'd ribs, baked potatoes and seasoned green beans with sauteed mushrooms and onions, followed by sundaes with brownie chunks and strawberries....I don't think my butt got off the couch. As a matter of fact....I didn't even get dressed today! (Well, I was "dressed" in my nightie....just not in regular clothes). I did do my hair and makeup, which made up for some of my passiveness. I spent the afternoon watching the Mad TV marathon, and when that was over, moved on to the Reno 911 marathon. It's still on now but I'm tired of watching tv at this point.
Ok, I'm not totally useless....I did manage to help wee one with her homework at one point today. BTW, Betsy is feeling 100% better. She has no pain at all, not even when she presses on her kidney. She will still be going in for the test this week, but I am so thankful that she is pain free now. She looks like she feels better too, which is wonderful to see.
Tomorrow is back to school....thank you Lord. I was so sad when the summer came to an end (for us) in August. I didn't think I'd get used to not having the girls home all day....what would I do without my buddies. Well, now I know....I will enjoy quiet time! LOL. Actually, they were pretty good....it was dh that was driving me insane. But not until today. It's funny how my mind knows that it is a weekday which means....at 12:45 it is not "show your husband how to look for a textbook for his next class on eBay" time, it is "half-way through Andy Griffith getting ready to sew" time. Sheesh!
Okay, time to hit the hay....again. I have an early morning, what with the kids going back to school and hubby going back to work and 6 hours and 45 minutes of unaccompanied bliss....

Im glad to hear that Betsy is doing better. We all need some lazy days, its about time you took one! Tomorrow is attack of the childrens bedroom and grocery time so today was my lazy day lol.
Well I made up for you not burning yourself! I slammed my own thumb in the back door. It still hurts and I did it this morning! RRRRR. I still have the scar from my last iron burn. It is about 4 -5 inches long on my forearm. I am a seriously talented person!!

Those greenbeans with mushrooms and onions sound so good. Sorry to hear about your burn and Betsy's kidneys but glad you are both doing better. I love hanging out in jammies with my hair done and make up on and not having to go anywhere! I just wish I had you here to show all my people how to clean! Your porch sounds sparkling!! We could be the biggest, baddest and best cleaning company of central and east Florida!
Hugs,
Lisa
psssst...cookies
THANK GOD THAT CHILD IS OUT OF PAIN! And as for makeup hair and the night gown....that's me everyday only without the makeup and hair. LOL not a pretty sight.
I am so pleased Betsy is free from pain and hope your burn is less painful soon. I had to laugh at elbow grease, because I once sent some of my cubs to the next tent to see if they could borrow some, then in turn sent them to the next tent till somebody told them what it was, lol...........Jules xxxxx

Lazy bum? You sound like a whirlwind to me. Where do you get your energy from? About the burning I have a tip for you. This is not just any tip. This is a tip that works 100% and everyone who reads this should take note.
The minute anybody burns themselves, iron, skillet, flame whatever - you dab on a few drops of neat Lavender Essential oil. Within 10 minutes, it will take 100% of the pain away!!!!!
I hope you can get hold of it over there, it has to be the real stuff - unadulterated 100% pure Lavender Essential oil. This stuff is a miracle cure for burns. I'm serious when I say that there should be a law that every home and workplace should have a bottle (good for insomia and anxiety too!). If I had more time, I'd make it my business to contact hospital burns units and ask them if they use it, and if not, why not? The side benefit is that it also minimises scarring. So anybody with stretchmarks, a few drops in an eggcup of vegetable oil, and massaged in, will fade them with time.

lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who burns herself on the iron or while making dinner....Ü
We didn't go anywhere this weekend, the way gas prices are it didn't make any sense to go anywhere. I'm with you, school is a good thing :)
I'm glad that Betsy is feeling better!

You need your own space, to chill ,sometimes ,its called charging your batteries,in order to get back, to caring for everyone else. Jan x
Sorry you burned yourself, glad it's ok. Your lunch sounded soooo good. A slug fest wkend, wow, you deserved that...I hope the white glove Good Housekeeping crew doesn't decide to knock on your door 'cause just that one tiny speck could ruin it for you:). Glad Betsy is pain free, what a relief for her.
