I usually try to keep the mood upbeat on my blog and I figured, what better way to do that than to get a bunch of women rolling on the floor laughing at my silly narration of a bad day. I think most everyone can relate to having at least ONE day similar to this! I wrote this about a week ago. Enjoy! Laughter is the best medicine!
Weeell...today started off good..lol. I was so excited to have a good day I thought it was almost TOO good to be true....it kinda was. Abby peed the bed last night ( MY bed not hers) so I started my morning early, washing sheets, and I decided I should try to get that down feather bed topper cleaned up from the pee so I read the tag and it said to wash on gentle cycle blah blah blah...well, being the smart girl I am I double checked with Andrew if it would be ok to wash it and he said ok.Sooo, I filled the washer with water ( thinking the feather topper would go in easier if the water was already in there) and began stuffing the 500lb feather topper in the 10lb max load washer (Im just guessing numbers here but they seem about right HAHAHAH!) After I had shoved about 1/16 of the feather thing into the washer it wouldn't pack in anymore so I called Andrew to come help me get the other 15/16ths in. He died laughing when he saw that I filled the washer with water first.But now there was no turning back because part of the feather thing was already in the water and wet, and it wasn't going anywhere.....soooooo....he shoved the rest in, simultaneously (however you spell that) over flowing all one hundred gallons of water onto our cheap laminate wood floor in the wash room. I ran for towels and ended up soaking up the water off the floors with 12 towels ( which had just been washed , dried and neatly folded THIS MORNING AT 8AM!) The feather thing has now been washed....miraculously dried after 6 hours of high powered dyer action and is on the bed ready to cushion my tush while I sleep.Also,I didn't bother RE-mopping the floors I had mopped BEFORE the washroom flooded...Abby had a ball splashing in the puddles with her dirty feet and the muddy little footprints all over my clean kitchen floors where just too darn cute to mop up today. BUT, I am happy to say, despite t he setbacks, I managed to get enchiladas on the table at 5:30 ( I have a picture of Abby sprinkling the cheese atop the enchiladas while straddling between a chair and the counter top), dessert was a freshly baked batch of chewy brownies, the bathroom was scrubbed at 10am, the floors where vacuumed by 10am (but not again since the box of apple jacks where strewn across the hallway at 11am), My living room is lacking a layer of dust that I removed also and my baby girl is off to dream land and its only 8:30!WOW! What a day. And I must mention, I even found some time to feed my spirit as I listened to praise and worship music while scrubbing the bathroom and dusting the living room and I was reminded tonight ,when I was JUST about to gripe about how bad my back was aching and how I needed a break....a song that brings a lump to my throat every time I hear the words that I wish I had written myself...Great is thy faithfulness, oh God my Father...Morning by morning new mercies I see, All that I've needed thy hand has provided...great is thy faithfulness Lord, unto me!!!!!That part I know by heart ( thanks to my dad making me turn to every song in the songbook growing up, I truly love this old fashion but forever true hymn!)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassion's, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!Great is Thy faithfulness!Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
NOW, tomorrows list...FIND a cd with that song on it : )
