Helpful Heloise Hints?

Anybody got any ideas on how to get that “puke” smell OUT of a mattress and blankets? We are on wash #2 and it still kind of stinks.

Another question…how in the world does such an inordinate amount of puke come from a preschooler who has barely eaten anything in weeks?

Blech.

So very UN-Crafty Tuesday…

Ah…hi? Wow, so here it is Tuesday again. And, um…honestly? I have been running around in preparation for my upcoming (hopefully!) very crafty weekend and completely forgot to even post last night.

I did, however, manage to clean up the house so it is at least respectably cluttered; finished and sent off final versions of three projects and the first version for review of the “big one.” The huge project that nearly put me over the edge, but is going to be so appreciated next month when I want to shop for Christmas! And, also, did a little grocery shop so my babies will have something to eat when I am gone this weekend.

Did I mention I will be gone? All. Weekend. With no children? Just some friends. Some scrapbooking. And more than likely…snow? Yeah, we are meeting in Chicago, so I can’t vouch that the weather is going to be great, but the un-Mommy time? That, I can promise will be great!

So send J. some good thoughts on doing the “single parent” thing all weekend. I know they will all have a fantastic time and I’m anxious to get back and find out that it all went so smoothly…I should do it more often!

Hee. Well, “anxious” might not be the right word, but you know what I mean.

Please tell me somebody out there has some crafty stuff to show and inspire us all into getting our holiday crafts done. Ok….ok! Started.
