Magical Monday

Isn't it wonderful when you start the week off on the right foot? Well I am trying to get things off on the right foot . I popped out of bed this morning at 5:15 and drank two cups of coffee. Now this probably doesn't sound strange to alot of you all, but I have practically gave it up. Well, I forgot what I was missing because I feel grrrrrreat!

I have the boys hanging new curtain rods in the bedrooms and have "new" curtains for the rooms.

I am hoping to finish my sis-in-laws wedding dress today and will try and post pictures later. The dress is beautiful and it fits sis to a t! I am so pleased.

I guess I had better stop blogging and get to the tasks at hand and keep my Magical Monday going on course.

God Bless....Pam

It's a beautiful Friday!

Remember that song? It's a beautiful Monday? Well I can't get it out of my head. It's Friday so I've changed it up a little. I have a million and one things to do today but can't seem to get started. Do you have a chore list? Here's mine

1. Change beds
2.Sweep floors
3.Dust
4.Clean off kitchen counters
5.Put away rest of groceries
6.Make bread
7.Sew

So as you all can see it is do-able nothing hard or even strenuous it's just well ..........boring? I would much rather skip down to good ol' #7 and be done with it. The trouble with that is that I feel so gosh darn guilty, that it is no longer any fun to do what I really enjoy.

I'm crazy I know ....do what feels good.Right? Well I can tell myself that until i'm blue in the face but it won't change anything....I will still not be happy until all the chore list is done.

Sooooooo.....I guess I will get off of here and start singing my made up version of a once popular song until everything on my list is completed. And, when I do get down to good ol' #7 I will enjoy every stitch I make!

Green was the scene!

I am worried. Really worried. I saw on the news that frogs are dying. Not that I am a big fan of the slimy amphibians or anything. It's the fact that i don't think i can do this on my own. I have reduced my trash by tons this year as was my plan. I use to have four trash cans and am down to only one and even it isn't full. That is quite a feat considering the fact that there are five people in the house. Anyway back to the frog thing.... I called my son in to watch this with me as I figure this is going to impact him more than me.
He half heartidly watched...not even all and looked at me as though I was weird. "So?" He looked at me with those baby blues "Mom, I don't care about some frogs dying!" UGH! My husband said leave him alone...!My son retreated to the computer and I glared at my husband..."Don't you get this? Frogs are dying by the thousands."He gave me one of those O.K., whatever looks and returned to his crossword.
I dropped the issue and have been thinking about this all day. How am I going to save the planet? I have reduced, reused, and recycled. I never buy paper towels and avoid as much plastic as I possibly can. I use cloth bags when I shop (I have learned to ignore the clerks sly smirks and arm nuggings). I walk everywhere ...my legs are fabulous! I even buy organic...no pesticides in this house. But still the frogs are dying.
I know I need to really get on my soapbox (made from old wood in the garage). I need to make my son aware of the fact that contrary to popular belief he needs to start caring and do it now. He can save this planet long after I'm gone, he can rally the troops, he can make it happen. I can only get this started. I read somewhere that we, as humans, have a ten year timeline to change all of this mess we have made. I hope my fellow humanoids do not wait until it is too late.The frogs can't do anymore for us (I sure hope they didn't have the cure for cancer or aids hidden in their genetics). We may never know why we needed those frogs; perhaps, they were here just for a warning to change our ways or we'll be next!
