Kenmore Krazy

Well, it finally happened! I am the proud owner of a matching, like “new”, Kenmore washer and dryer set!! This is my first matching set! (I guess I could count my harvest gold ones I used as a newlywed.)

My old washer was maxed out with four pair of blue jeans. Maybe this will help to cut back on my 14 plus loads of wash I do each week. I think I could fit all four of my kids in my new washing machine! Hmmm, that may help cut back on bath time, too. . .

Like with everything else in her life, the first thing Anjelia did when she saw the new set was walk up and lick the dryer. I wonder what information she gathers from doing that?

The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they’d never clean anything. ~Dave Barry

The tooth fairy

Our five year old, Jessica, has had a loose tooth for some time now. Over the weekend it was driving her absolutely crazy. She was becoming quite grumpy and every couple of minutes she would let out a frustrated grunt.

When I picked her up at school today, she was so excited! She had finally lost that tooth. It happened during lunch. She was eating an orange and she thought it was a seed until she stuck her tongue on her tooth, but it was gone! Her music teacher gave her a little pink box to bring it home in.

After dinner, James took her to the store to pick out some ice cream to celebrate. She chose vanilla ice cream bars with chocolate coating, yummy.

A few months ago I bought a tooth fairy box. It’s a little wooden box with a lid. The inside is drilled out with a bit the size of quarters. She put the tooth in it and put it under her pillow. Now it’s just watch and wait. Will the tooth fairy come?

Vanished

She came in last night
And vanished away…
With the tooth I pulled
Out yesterday

If I could follow,
I bet I’d spy
A mountain of teeth that
Would reach the sky!
