Look who I found hiding out in my diaper bag today. It is not just a Diaper Bag but also a Cat Carrier 😉

Improving the indoors
The weather is too hot outside, so it is giving me plenty of projects to do indoors. I’m starting small and inexpensive with improving the upstairs bathroom. I often joke that showering is my only hobby, so I decided to replace the shower head, and re-caulk the tub too.
Our old shower head was getting pretty gross, due to the very hard water that we have. With a little elbow grease and trusty pliers, I got the old one off, and a new low-flow model on. I hope this project will help out the water bill a little too. The new shower head only cost me $5.00, and a few blisters (yucky old shower head).
I also gave the tub a thorough clean just like the ladies over at How Clean is Your House. I also scraped out all of the old caulk too. I waited until the shower had time to dry, and for Dylan to take a nap, and I re-caulked the tub, walls, and all of the seams around the outside too. The shower looks brand new, and a tube of caulk only cost me $2.88!
So far my project has only cost me $7.88, and has made for a much nicer showering environment. Now I just need to get to painting and I’ll be all set 😉
The Dishes did not Get Done
I only had one more thing to do on my to do list for today, the dishes. They will have to wait until tomorrow, I’m exhausted. I still have two boys that need baths, and then I’m calling it a night.
I did get a few things done today: errands, 6 dozen cookies baked for James workplace and home, and I made a new curtain for James home office too. I ran a dozen cookies over to the neighbors. They had received some of our mail, and they brought it over along with yummy banana cake ( I love our neighbors). I hope they get our mail tomorrow 😉
Dylan was up every hour last night, and Thade was up a lot too. I hope that both of the boys sleep well tonight. Mommy desperately needs some rest.
The Cat Days of Summer
It is another hot one today. We had a thunderstorm roll through this morning, so it is extremely humid. The temperature is going to hit 100 today with a heat index of 110. I’m so ready for fall and cooler temps.
I’ve been feeling a bit stir crazy, so I took the boys out for errands early today. We ran to the post office and to Dollar General for kitty supplies. I think we are going to be stuck indoors for quite a while. I hope that everybody is staying cool this Summer.
Works- for- me- Wednesday
This is my first time posting for Works-for-me-Wednesdays.
My helpful hint is that I use my dessert plates as spoon rests while I’m cooking dinner. It makes less mess on my stove top, and keeps the counters nice and clean too.
I hope one day to have a collection of spoon rests, but until then my dessert plates work just fine for me.
