Not Again!
Damages:
$6.00 = Bubble gum flavor mouth rinse
$9.99 = Apple scented shampoo
$5.00 = Orange scented floor cleaner
$7.50 = Pomegranate flavored hand soup
$$ = 1 dozen towels wet and thrown on the floor which I had to wash
$$$$ = washing machine repair
It's very expensive on weekends when my DS2 is bored. Today he was. He doesn't really bother me. He finds his own entertainment. I looked in on him and found him diligently washing a small
towel with orange scented floor cleaner. He used the towel to clean the window.
I went to my room and grab a book to relax and read, when I step into the hallway to get something to drink, I almost slipped. DS2 had "cleaned" my floor by washing it first. He just forgot to dry it afterwards. Two more towels to the rescue!
There's a calling for a Backgammon game online, so I played three games. When I went to the kids' bathroom to change some dirty diapers, it was to find an empty bottle of shampoo and bubble gum flavored mouth rinse. DS2 was wiping the sink dry. The bathroom is slippery, but it smelled great!
I didn't feel like cleaning really, but the pile of towels is now
piling up. I collected them all for washing. That's when I found out that my washing machine won't work. Dead as a doornail. *sob*
What am I supposed to do with the ever-growing pile of laundry now? I called my trusty Sears home repair. I pay them yearly for things like this. I was told I wasn't recorded anywhere on their file. WTF! It was late in the afternoon and nothing to be done.
We dressed the kids up, go to the mall and walked 5.0 miles today. Two strollers, 5 kids, in another van because I had lost my headlight in a collision when we were shopping for garden stuff. Walking has become a nice family time for us. We can spend time
together talk and exercise. We were done after two hours.
We're in the middle of painting outside; I think they're almost done. I hope! I can't really say if I like it off white. I had my heart set on wear-your-sunglasses-white. Evidently, that wasn't so good because of something or the other. The paint from DS3's hair finally came off today. I thought I had to cut short his hair, but we can hold on a little while longer.
In a home with five children, I find that I cannot live without vacuum cleaner, dust pan and broom, towels, washing machine, and books. Cleaning is better left after every one's asleep!

Shoes Etc.
Last Friday, we heard the emergency alarm system blaring a warning. I was so out of touch with news and event; I didn't know what the warning was about. It was for Tornado. My kids were just finishing piano lessons, but I didn't have to worry about their piano teacher. She's safe in minutes from leaving my house. Her next student lives nearby.It was fortuitous that we're in the middle of repainting outside. All my windows were covered and draped in plastic. My two little children went visiting next door to their Lola's house earlier. When I heard about the Tornado warning, I was concerned that they're not where I can see them. I went to pick th
em up. By the time we were walking back to my house, hails the sizes of little marbles were raining from the sky. We made it inside sans bruises. There wasn't that many hail because after a few minutes it stopped.I find it fascinating to see a hail. Raining ice cubes in a not-so-cold weather anymore. I could probably google the information, but that wouldn't be fun. I was thinking that hail is more logical in winter than in spring. In winter, there's actually cold enough weather to make the water freeze. I can still recall the first time I saw hail. It was scary and exciting all at the same time. I imagine it's the same feeling seeing your
personal favorite star walking towards you, looking like he's about to axe you.This afternoon, my daughter and I stepped out of the house. We were going to go to the Mall, but stopped by One Price Shoe Store instead. We had such great time trying on shoes. I think my daughter's shoe interest was awakened today. We left with 5 pairs of shoes between us. I got a pair of sandals for my mother, and three pairs for DD.
At one point, I was afraid she's going to wrestle a petite lady over a pair of sandals. I talked her out of it but only because the sandals came in blue. That's her favorite over any other color right now.
After shoe shopping, we went to Chilis and had a drink over dessert and
appetizer. It was only lemonade but we opt to sit in a bar. There were TV screens all over, and we had our attention divided between PGA and kickboxing. I didn't know it was kickboxing. The last boxing I know where the ones with Mohammed Ali, so I was complaining why they were kicking each other. Lucky for us, our very cute, earrings-on-both-ears-server knew about the sport and explains it to me. I would have been embarrassed if I wasn't so occupied trying to figure out what the numbers on Golf score meant.
