When it Rains it Pours....

Sigh.... I hate that saying. Mostly because it's all too true. We seemed to have the weekend from Hell. David (hubby) fractured his wrist at work. So I've been shuttling him to the doctor, mandatory drug tests (because it happened at work), and everything else, because he's so doped up on Oxycodone that it's illegal for him to drive.

Then the monster cold from October that FINALLY went away after Halloween is looking to make a comeback. And I've misplaced my bottle of Eucalyptus EO. I do not see any clear breathing any time soon. Sigh....

And to top it all off, I caught my 7 year old stealing money from my wallet. For some reason he just doesn't get why it's wrong. I tried to explain that he could go to jail for stealing. His response, "But Mom, we don't know where the jail is!". So while shuttling David around (with all three kids, no less), I pointed out the city jail to him as we drove by. If he steals again, I'm gonna ask to take him on a 'fun little tour' of the Lehi City Police Station and Jail. If the Fear of Mom won't cure it, then the Fear of the System will.

Yeah, it's been a fun weekend....

So I figured what a better way to relax than to spend the day soaping. Get my creative juices recharged, relax, and just have fun playing. I had some custom soaps on my list of things to do. Apparently the soap gremlins took up resident in my house this weekend as well. All the soaps are still good, just not quite exactly what I had envisioned. One of those cases where my perfectionism simply needs to be told to shove it and be quiet. But I stopped early, just in case. I'll try again tomorrow.

Oh, I finally took some pictures of the Lavender Soap I made recently! Now just to remind you, I HATE HATE HATE the smell of Lavender. It's just not my thing AT ALL. But my customers love it, so I make it. Now I haven't been able to smell anything for about 3 days. So I figured this would be a good time to take the necessary pictures of these nasty stinky soaps.

I CAN SMELL THEM!!!!

Do you know how totally unfair that is? I haven't been able to smell anything for days, but I can smell the one thing I DON'T want to smell.

Does anyone want to borrow some really cute and energetic boys for a couple days, weeks, years??? I wish I could bottle their energy (as they run around the living room wrestling). Sigh... I need to go fix dinner now before they mutiny on me.... Oops, too late! Here it comes! "Mom, what's for dinner? Mom, I'm hungry."

So..... How was your weekend??? LOL!
