Okay guys....a quick note here before you all think I have slipped into the black hole and disappeared forever!
I know my ramblings as of late have been just that...ramblings of a crazy woman. Truth be told I have been dancing on the edge of crazy for a while now. Somehow by the grace of God and the people in my life who have had to actually "deal" with me....I have managed to regain a bit of composure. The craziness....well that has always been a staple in my life. I just needed to get a grip on it again.
To say I have missed you guys would be an understatement. It seems like years since I have enjoyed the Stream. I can only hope the doors are still open. I know mine is for all of you.
I have much to write about this coming week. It will be quiet around here (knock wood)and I will have three whole days to myself. No kids, No R and well...nothing to do other than what I choose to do. I plan on hanging out here on the Stream a bit and catch up and fill you in on the escapades I call my life.
But while I am at it...anyone know how to remove melted crayon from a couch cushion? Don't ask....I am sure it adds to the decorative factor of my living room...but any suggestions will be appreicated.
Going to bed so I can perform my Momma duties in the morning. But after the kids are dropped off tomorrow I am free....free as the wind until Wednesday night when R gets home. Kids are at relatives until Thursday after school. I will miss them for a moment...but I am really truly deeply utterly looking forward to some "ME" time.
Perhaps I sound too anxious?? Truth be told I am.
Love ya'll....miss ya'll...

Shh...don't tell anyone...BUT....when I was married, some of my happiest times was when the ex would load up the three kids and go over to his mom's house for an occasional Sunday. I would race around like a madwoman, trying to get things done (and as I was a preschool teacher, I also was tryin to gear up for the week ahead with my lesson plans.) Just when I had gotten everything done and was about to lie down and relaaxxxxx, I'd hear the car pull up and I'd cringe and my heart would sink.
I loved my kids and tolerated the hubby...but man, it felt good to get some me time...even if it wasn't very much...some was better than none.

I missed you guys too! I will be enjoying my "Me" time, but I am thinking about you and your little teething one. I hope you get some much needed "Me" time soon! Thanks for stopping by! Take care out there....

Don't ask, I have been a mom too.
Here is from the mom book:
Use a hair dryer to melt the candle wax on carpet (or a hard surface such as a table top or a floor). Wipe up the wax as it melts with a towel or cloth. Just make very sure not to overheat the carpet or surface!
Whereas a hair dryer is great for removing wax on a hard surface, people asked about how to remove wax from table cloths and other fabrics. An iron is the solution for removing wax from fabric. Place newspaper on both sides of the fabric to blot up the wax once it melts from ironing over the newspaper with a medium-hot iron. Replace newspaper as needed. Please note that you definitely do not want to use a hair dryer on anything flammable
