Talk About Tuesday

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

I have news! It's official. I am speaking at the Thomas Jefferson Education Forum on March 1st. If you haven't already signed up to go then you must do so immediately. It will be fabulous and not just because I'll be there. That's part of it but all the speakers are wonderful and plus don't forget that I'll be there.

As a bonus today I am talking about...

The Secrets That Are My Life

• We bought several sets of shelves today to organize our food storage.
  
  
• Now if only our basement wasn't such a wreck so we had somewhere to put them.
  
  
• I confess that I didn't make my daughter's baptism dress. I bought it. I learned a lesson from my last sewing fiasco where I could have bought a dress at an expensive boutique and spent less than I did for the fabric of my daughter's Halloween costume. It almost ripped my heart out to not be hemming something on the way to the Church (a family tradition) but what was done was done and we all lived happily ever after.
  
  
• My Christmas tree is finally out of my living room and put away.
  
  
• My life is plauged by Box Elder bugs and according to Stranger there is nothing we can do about it because we didn't spray for them in the fall. How were we supposed to know we needed to spray for them? We didn't have this problem last year. How fun is it to wake up every night/morning with bugs crawling on your face and in your underwear? You want to come visit me now don't you.
  
  
• This fall we will be spraying for bugs. I already have it written in my calendar.
  
  
• Sometimes my two year old tucks herself into bed. Sometimes when she tells me she's tired and I'm in the middle of something I will tell her to go potty and get into bed and I'll be right there to tuck her in. Except that sometimes I forget about her and she's asleep before I get there. Sometimes my bad mothering skills bring tears to my eyes.
  
  
• I make it up to her by letting her "help" me in the kitchen. I think the patience involved with that pretty much makes me a Saint in spite of my other weaknesses.
  

• My family stinks. Truly. Yesterday everyone ate garlic noodles but me and I about choked to death sleeping with stranger last night. Then today I had to drive around with the windows open because the children still stunk. Normally I'm eating garlic with them so I guess I don't notice the smell. I want to apologize to everyone right now. I had no idea we were so stinky and I feel bad about it. Not bad enough to stop eating garlic but still pretty bad.
  
  
• We lost the password to our wireless internet router for a while. Guess where we found it? Typed up with my label maker and stuck to the front of our computer so we wouldn't lose it.
  
  
• Today I was looking for the password to our safe. I told Stranger that we should have stuck it on the front of our safe because no one would ever think to look there.
  
  
• You want to be as organized as I am don't you?
  
  
• Stay tuned for more embarrassing secrets about the Lazy Organizer...
