Swimsuits

So I monogrammed M a Target swimsuit and posted a pic and basic instructions on how I did it (a while back). There is something about the light pink & white striped one that does fine on my machine. Last night I attempted ANOTHER Target swimsuit, then had to e-mail my friend and tell her I'd be crediting $11 on her bill or going to get a replacement. It's a cute brown one with different colored polka dots all over it. For some reason (lining? material? design?) it DID NOT work! I had to take out the thread and re-try it 3 times (the middle initial) and it twisted and turned and gathered and just didn't work. With that being said, I'm going to try to avoid doing swimsuits in the future. I do have another pink striped one to do and I think I'll be fine with it, but just don't want to get in to the business of monogramming swimsuits (and then replacing them when it doesn't work - spandex is so tricky!!) Even the t-shirts that have spandex in them are a little tricker than plain cotton.

I went to Toys R Us yesterday. Why they don't build a nice Babies/Toys R Us out in Eastchase I'll never know? Anyway, they have a lot of plain t-shirts - girls and boys (toddler boys at least). I also got their 10 pack of terry bibs. Poor Mallory is a slobbering machine lately and I'm slowly throwing away the stained embarrasing bibs. TRU sells a 10 pack of plain white terry bibs which are GREAT for monogramming!

Jeff & I agreed to split the cost of getting our cleaning lady back and she is coming today. I am so excited! Linda has cleaned for us off and on since I was pregnant with Browder. Jeff said this week that he can't wait to walk in and smell chlorox and amonia today and might just have to give Linda a big hug! What is he trying to tell me?? I went to Walmart this morning and bought a new toilet seat for our bathroom. Ours was DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! I figured out how to take it off and almost threw up. BOYS!!!!!! It's just sick!! Next house I almost want my own toilet!! I also got a new shower curtain liner for the boys bathroom. I used to be completely OCD, and after 3 kids and monogramming I just don't have time (although it still haunts me!).

I also went to bible study this morning. I am in a Titus 2 group that meets the 2nd Thursday of the month. Titus 2 is about mentoring and today we talked about the virtues we are supposed to adhere to and #2 was to not be slanderers. The book says "A critical and complaining spirit is devastating on those who come under its effect". Hello conviction!! I feel like I've been complaining a lot lately about not having enough time in the day! In the next breath I feel so blessed to have this "job" that I can do from home which I enjoy, and helps me to "contribute" to the family budget. I don't want to be a complainer so I'll try to watch my tongue!!
