mckinlee was still coughing a lot and tired, so i let her stay home from school today. most of the day was spent watching tv and resting.

today was my first mammogram. fun, fun. it actually wasn't as bad as i thought, although they found a cyst and a benign tumor that i get to have biopsied this friday. more fun.

bath and body works redesigned their soaps and i just love them. since i had a coupon, i also tried a new scented body wash-twilight woods-and i love the smell!

monday
we got to tour the middle school orchestra department. mckinlee has decided she wants to play the viola (like a violin, but a lower sound.) she got to try the violin, viola and cello. she played "jaws" on the cello and thought that was pretty cool. with those long fingers she has, she's a natural with a stringed instrument!

tuesday
i've been reading the flylady book. while i'm not going to sign up for all those emails you can get everyday, i am going to adopt some of her philosophy--the main one being your whole attitude can improve if you have a clean sink. before 8 this morning, my sink (and whole kitchen) was already clean and i am really feeling good!
thanks for stopping by! see you next tuesday :)
i'm sure your test on friday will go fine! i'm praying for you :)
ReplyDeletehow exciting mckinlee will get to play the viola. i bet she will be great at it!
Hey Susanne, This is Becky. Travis played the viola in middle school and we still have it. It's sized for a middle school kid, if you're interested. Our lease ran out before his class did, and they wouldn't buy it back. Email me at bm76710@gmail.com if you want to know more.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about McKinlee playing an instrument! That would be wonderful! Love the pictures! You are too funny! never would I have thought of taking a picture of that awful machine!!! Your sink looks wonderful! Doesn't it make you feel good?! Also, I liked the pictures of Sadie and her new relatives! Looks like Chris hasn't lost his touch and what a natural McKinlee is!
ReplyDeleteSo funny with the sink, I remember when my first was a baby and I was overwhelmed stumbling upon the Flylady, I don't remember much except commit to one room a day and always have a clean sink. Looks like yours is up to par :D
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that your daughter is going to play the viola! I used to play the violin. There just aren't many kids who want to play strings anymore!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the FlyLady before. Aside from the sink thing, is it worth checking out?
