Or in this case, putting it on
when, I first saw this on CNN, I knew I wanted to help
human trafficking and sex slavery- evil beyond my comprehension
how can we even begin to make a difference?
400+ bras donated from our small group girls
will “support” former victims in Africa
allowing them to earn 3 to 5 times the normal wage
in used clothing markets
this one is for the girls
from your sisters in Knoxville

so here is the horrible laundry room
and weird wet bar in living room
even burlap can’t disguise this eye sore
it became the craft, game, anything that didn’t have a home bar
check out the paneling and drop ceiling- Klassy with a “K”
demo begins
and continues
and with work, and babies, and sickness….the going is slow
painfully, I can’t live like this slow
Saint Joe and 400 trips to Home Depot
in between demo phases, I clean and try to wash a few loads of clothes
almost wall in living room
Joey really loves for me to take his picture, looooves it
“just stand here and hold this crazy heavy bead board over your head”
um, no
trim out ceiling, ceiling paint, demo the floor, sand the sheetrock, patch, sand again,
install tile, paint walls, install sink, build shelves, built-in desk, and new high-efficiency washer and dryer
almost there…….

this girl has my heart
this guy too
she lives with a brother that is a ninja more often than not
she is an artist, with an artistic temperament to the core
she is loved, so very loved

it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke…….
through the driving rain, in walks parent with a piercing.
granola- no make-up parent, and parent reeking of smoke
welcome to a tiny room with 14 parents, 14 girls, and 4 little brothers
………hades, people, hades ….just the Girl Scout version of it
granola parent’s young son taught my five-year old several new slang words
for his male annatomy…..there were gasps and giggles
I tried to navigate the packed room, tripping over chairs to grab my kid
glares from the kid offender’s mom…..really lady, such a mouth on such a small child
an hour and a half later it was over
all I can say is sweet Jesus, have mercy and send me a snow day!!!

the day starts out with lots of this
and “an epic battle” in the playroom
followed by breakfast in pink footed pjs
the start to a great day
I have several hours alone, ahhh
I shower and even get to shave both legs
(not that I ever run out of time and only do one, I’m way to on the ball for that)
tonight will be dinner with no kid menu in sight
I admit I have a very low threshold for excitement
but still it promises to be a very good day
