Feet

So, I was babysitting a family I"ve known for a long time.  They have an 8 year old girl. She liked my cherry  colored clogs and wanted to try them on. I let her. It turned out they fit her perfectly.  Hmmm... Then She had me try her shoes on and of course they fit me perfectly.  I had a friend say it's cause she's tall and I"m short.  That was really funny!

Babysitting

So, My sister came into town.  She brought only 2 of her 4 kids.  She brought the 2 youngest.
Well, the 3 year old wet her pants and decided to pretty much run around naked.  She went into the 4 x  4 garden boxes that are currently just dirt since the last residents in it well, didn't make it.
Both kids were on my watch and were playing in the yard.   One decided to eat the dogs ball.  The other child decided she was hungry and try being organic.  She found she liked eating leaves and twigs from the tree.  She also thought the dog bone was tasty.  I finally decided to bring out some popcorn instead.
It was pretty funny afternoon. Very eventful as babysitting usually is.  :)

Quilt tying

So, after my church institute class tonight. My friends and I went to the service center there in the building and they have projects out that you can choose to work on.  My friend and I chose to attempt quilt tying.
 Took us a few minuets to figure out which direction and such for putting the needle in correctly :)
Then we figured out the how, but we could not get our needles in and out of the fabric.  Needless to say it looked as though we were having fights with the quilt.  Which, I guess in a way we were.
 It took over 10 minuets to make two ties in the quilt.
We finally got smart and started using push pins to make a hole first and then put the dull needles in.  It worked.
 We blame the needle and not ourselves.
It was really entertaining watching the other one trying to get the needle through.  we laughed at each other because it was a really funny scene.
Hopefully whichever receiver in need gets the quilt will forgive us.

New years Resolution

I have decided I feel too uptight most of the time.  I try to be flexible and such, but my body and mind are never fully at peace.  I think too much on things that are not truly important or make silly conclusions about things that are not what they really are.  Not sure how many of you do that, i'm sure most of us without realizing it.  After getting sick and being in this state of  semi reality just because your drained of everything and no energy.  I was in a very relaxed state and felt great in that regard. Sleep was very peaceful and calm.  I have a mind that just thinks non-stop.  It keeps me awake or wakes me up a lot at night. I realized what caused this extra blessing from being sick was I was so exhausted and in a way helpless I was able to fully let myself go and I came to being in a relaxed state.  So, this year I am  going to achieve in a greater degree inner peace.  Allow myself to stop worrying and thinking of silly what if's or what not and just find peace within myself.
If anyone would like to share there resolutions please feel free too post

Food Poisoning

I don't know how many of you have had this experience. But, it was my very first.
I went to a linger longer (at church we ate food after the meetings)
 then after about an hour I felt very sick.  I was sick for the whole night. I had to eat light foods yesterday. I was drinking only gaterade and eating applesauce.  I ate noodles and rice cakes.
Needless to say thank fully it is over.
My immune system is now stronger.

Church cleaning

It has been many years since I have gone to clean a church.  I used to go as a youth.  Yesterday, I went to help and I got to use the most strangest backpack ever! It was a vacuum back pack.  You wear it like a backpack and has the house with flat vacuum head.  I was assigned to clean the chapel.  I felt like a ghost buster!
  I had to use it to clean the entire floor up and in between rows.  I vacuumed the seats also.  It was a very interesting experience. I have never seen a vacuum like this one.
