Because I have to look on the bright side of everything, I am focusing on the fact that having to sit in a room with my sleeping daughter and be on “vomit patrol” gave me time to finish up the scarf my mom wanted. She picked out Berocco Optik and said “can you make me a scarf with this? But I don’t want it to look knitted.”
Ooookay.
Anyway, it’s done! Finally, I can get on to all the other projects backed up! Whee!
On a side note, I have noticed that each of the two times (both rather recently) my daughter has gotten very sick to her stomach, it has been the morning after a very long tub bath. I disinfected the tub pretty well last time, having suspected her of drinking tub water when I wasn’t looking, but now I am even more suspicious of a link. I think we may have a germy tub toy. Yuck.
Scarf! Focus on the scarfy positivity!
Time for a stupid quiz!

Dropped the kiddo off at kindergarten this morning, then came back home to paint the inside of a cabinet. We’re trying to figure out if we can just paint our 1960’s era cabinets and still achieve the look we want (namely, a kitchen that’s not stuck a time warp) as opposed to getting them refaced or something more expensive. (I was going to take a picture of the cabinets, but the digital camera seems to have gone missing. That’s not good because I was gonna eBay some stuff later. Phooey.)
Note: Do not use oil based paint unless you have turpentine standing by. The paint got all over my hands. I tried to wash it off as best I could, but that wasn’t very well. While it dried on the cabinet, I thought I’d try to play a game of Katamari Damacy on the new PS2 my hubby got for my birthday (call it a gift to us both) but I managed to crack the CD with my sticky hands. Okay.
But worst still was that when my daughter’s kindergarten teacher called to say that my child had thrown up in the hall on the way back from music class, I had no way of getting the white goop off of my hands. Olive oil helped some.
You remember that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa gets gum in her hair and everybody’s got a suggestion? Yeah, it was like that. Anyway, it’s mostly off my hands, and I feel certain that my daughter’s stomach acid has managed to loosen a good portion of it as well.
Add to that that I had to cancel my optometrist appointment – my glasses are currently down to one earpiece – and you have a not so hot day.
Well, at least there’s “Lost” tonight, right? Right? No?
Well, crud.
ETA: Yes! There is Lost tonight! Yay!
