We were in the local Lowe’s store today. We needed a number of items to complete our bathroom project. But my job was appliance shopping. The items - dishwasher and stove.
Our home was built in 1985 and both of these items are original to the home. I’m certain they are far [...]

Friday Cleaning Challenge
Posted in Wife and Mother on November 2, 2007 | No Comments »
I did something resembling cleaning this morning. And you know how I hate cleaning. I had to do it. It wasn’t that long ago that I performed this cleaning chore, but with cold and flu season on its way, I knew that I needed to. I am so glad I did.
I [...]
My Exercise in Futility
Posted in Wife and Mother on September 6, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Yes, I’ve finally resorted to doing the one thing I despise…cleaning.
With two little boys, a big boy and a dirty dog, I feel like as soon as I clean anything, it’s dirty again. My house lingers in this state. Although I am diligent about vacuuming, dishes, sweeping the floor, and laundry - the [...]
X-Treme Laundry (Don’t Try This)
Posted in Wife and Mother on June 25, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I had no idea that I would be in store for X-treme laundry today. I carried my big green basket down and threw in a few pairs of PJs that I picked up for the boys on super markdown at the Carter’s outlet. I set the machine for medium load, poured in the [...]
A Day in the Life - the first

Some morning at Shelly’s House - 1999
I rise from my sleep, tired and talkless. Gil has already pounded around the bedroom to wake me up. I greet him in the kitchen without a smile, but a hug. He runs out the door to work and I find solace in a banana and [...]
Shelly’s Valentine’s Day
Posted in Wife and Mother on February 14, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Woooo Hooo!!! It’s here…. (please ignore abject sarcasm.)
Blogging has shown me really what a stick in the mud I am. I don’t like traditional holidays. In fact, I avoid them like the plague. I really want to get excited about Valentine’s Day. I really do. But….
The holiday has been hijacked [...]
Way Back When…RERUNS
Posted in Motherhood, Wife and Mother on January 17, 2007 | No Comments »
Since I got my new sitemeter into place, I’ve been scanning my stats - mostly because I get 3x the traffic here than I did on my own server. I noticed one post that a few folks came in on and I went back to check it out.
Way back when I first started blogging [...]
Ebay Update
Posted in Wife and Mother on June 13, 2006 | No Comments »
I’m taking a break from my ebay selling spree until after the 4th of July holidays. So far, we’ve had a pretty good experience with it all. I started selling stuff I didn’t want anymore and was going to send off to thrift stores in March. I also had a few yard [...]
The Things I Can’t Throw Away
Posted in Wife and Mother on May 30, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I’ve done a pretty good job of cleaning up the clutter around the house in the last few months and getting things better organized. The biggest dent has probably been in my closet where I have let go of many of my clothes from my career days. I don’t dress up much on [...]
Does Anyone Know….
Posted in Wife and Mother on May 19, 2006 | 3 Comments »
Does anyone know of any easy quilting patterns for larger sized quilts or have any good quilting resources that they could share? I’ve been spoiled by Randi’s Quilting Class. I’ve been frustrated in trying to find block patterns, as there are just so many out there and sometimes they don’t say, “easy” - [...]
