Seeing the humor in it can sometimes be the only way to keep sane.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10738195206636129168noreply@blogger.comBlogger101100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252698676915554198.post-11674920403375226562009-03-26T18:00:00.005-05:002009-03-26T18:31:26.368-05:00

I haven't baked bread for over 3 years now, I knew I couldn't knead it anymore and the bread machine I borrowed to try out just didn't do it for me. That is until yesterday when I found this recipe . I cannot wait to tweak it to make it mine. It took 5 minutes to mix up(if that)12 hours to rise and 2 minutes to shape it 2 more hours to rise and 45 minutes to cook. total prep time for me was less

I drew out this pattern myself from looking at other pattens. You can also look at simplicity they have a similar pattern if you need one. Take a look at your stash and try to pull out different colors that you my think will not go together and mix and match you may be surprised with the looks you can come up with. Here I had zebra, pink satin and black and pink pokadot then I lined the whole

Well things have been so hectic around here! We have retired from foster parenting with our last kido going home to mom. I know she will do well so I feel good about it.

Well I did it! went to Linens & Things and got a Roomba. Lucy our dog did a lot better than I thought she would but I cant get the kids to leave it alone. Jacob is so excited that he has a robot now, he was running around the floor chasing it, I have to admit that I was following it around too. I could not wait to let it get its full charge so it did not clean a full cycle but it did clean, I

OK my house has gotten out of hand. My kids have ruined my carpet throughout the entire house. Koolaid stains everywhere where my hubby let them out of the kitchen when I was not home. Lets not forget the big red H in permanent marker in the middle of my bedroom floor where my daughter Hope learned to write her name! BTW a magic erasor does not work on carpet. I dream of just twitching my nose
