I’m a mess in the kitchen

I often joke to my husband that dinner isn’t ready unless I’ve burned myself. This past week it is my left thumb that has been constantly injured. I nicely sliced it open while cutting a lemon for iced tea, that stung quite a bit. Today I was washing dishes, and accidentally broke a glass. I had no idea that the glass had broke, and I reached into the water to wash the glass, and cut the same thumb. Different location, luckily no stitches were required. Needless to say,I’m avoiding the kitchen for the rest of the evening.

Itchy Christmas

We have been snowed in the past few days, and I’m attempting to get things decorated for the holidays. I had the new tree in a box waiting to be put up for nearly a week, so yesterday I decided it was time. I got out the new tree, Thade was so excited(he loves Christmas), the cats were so excited to have a new giant box to play in. It took me forever to make sure that every branch was in place, and the lights lit. I took a break and stepped away, and I was itchy. My hands had broken out in little pink hives from the tree. Christmas and I just don’t get along.

I still need to get the second tree up and decorated. This one is going in Thade’s room, but I need lights. The streets are still pretty icy outside, so I don’t know if I will be getting outside any today. The decorating will have to wait just a little bit longer.
