The other day my son kindly informed me that it was time to do laundry. He is completely potty trained now so when he was getting some underwear out of his drawer, he noticed that there were only 3 pairs left in there. He came to me and asked, “Mom, where’s my panties?” I told him that they were dirty and in the laundry. He then said, “Can you do laundry and get more undies in my drawer, PLEEEAAASE?”
So I gave in and did the laundry, mostly because we were all running out of clothes. The next time that he went to get a new pair, he noticed that his drawer was full, came running to me and gave me a big hug and kiss and said, “Thanks for more underwear mom!”
Now if that’s not a reason to do laundry, I don’t know what is!

This is Awnya coming to you live from Lake Cookie where the rising flood waters have overwhelmed the toilet and are spilling out onto the floor and all surrounding objects. The cause of the flooding seems to be an entire roll fo double sized toilet paper thrown into the toilet all at once and then an attempt was made to flush it down the drain. Much to the avail of a little cookie, the attempt was unsuccessful and the flood waters began to rise…
How big was the mess? Well…lets just say it SOAKED 9 full sized bath towels and a hand towel (and I rang out the hand towel like 6 times…). She was just using the bathroom and came out saying “the water”. Well, she tends to turn on the water to wash her hands with a little to hot, so she’s always saying that. I didn’t thing anything of it. She persisted. I just kept saying, “come over here and I will wash your hands with you in the kitchen sink”. It finally took our little Superkid saying “There’s something wrong in here” and we both came a running. Hence, Lake Cookie. On the plus side, I just BARELY (as in like 30 minutes before) cleaned the bathroom top to bottom and so the toilet was fairly clean. The floor used to be sparkling. I think I will wash it again.
I do want to give myself a pat on the back for thinking quickly enough to turn off the water that goes to the toilet. That helped a little bit. How did we unclog you ask? Well, I looked and say a big old clump of TP right there and so I reached in and grabbed it. Normally I wouldn’t have even considered this, but it was sanitized 30 minutes ago, so its not completely gross yet, right?! The rest went down the drain. Now I think back and I’m sick…but I guess you do what you have to do!
Well, I’m off again to clean the bathrooms yet again…My in-laws are coming for a visit in 2 days and I want them to think that I actually DO clean my house!….

I just sat down to have a snack and then realized what foods I have compiled for this little “feast” before dinner. 2 pieces of fudge, a mini-pizza from lunch, half of a cheeseball and a package of ritz crackers. To go along with my tasty treat, a bottle of water.
This is the first really weird food combo for me since I got pregnant….interesting…

I heard the most wonderful idea the other day. My cousin, Marne, has a tradition in her home that they call Mr. Peeps. Here is what she has to say about it….
“Mr. Peeps is Santa’s helper that “shows up” the morning of Dec 1st. He moves to a different spot every day, so when the kids wake up in the morning, they want to see where he is. Mr. Peeps can be anything…the lady I got the idea from had a cute elf from a craft store. I found a cute penguin that I liked. It just needs to be something you don’t already have, so the kids haven’t seen it before. You tell the kids that they need to be good, because Mr. Peeps is watching, and he will tell Santa if they are not good. Dec 25th when the kids wake up, Mr. Peeps is gone (so you have to remember to put him away). It worked pretty good for me, except for a few times when Logan [her younger son] said “Mr. Peeps can’t see me over here so I can do what I want.” I still am glad I started that tradition. When he first appeared at the beginning of Dec, Logan’s eyes were so wide….knowing Mr. Peeps was magic, that he moved on his own, etc.”
I’m going shopping for a Mr. Peeps now…but I’m glad I have 10 1/2 months to find the perfect one!
