Then it was time to start mending. Or maybe iron the red organza runners that I have from a wedding.
Or I clean out the cupboard just right of the kitchen stove.
Next was cleaning out a drawer, dump the stuff from the junk drawer into that drawer.
Extras went into the new, larger junk drawer, but just for now ;+ D
Then I put all the chiles into the freezer, just do not want to peel all those little beggars today! Dragged Sarah and Lincoln to the store before a sale that ran out at midnight. Haven't had any ground beef for several months. Made tacos, ate tacos, took some dumb pictures, took pills so I would have an excuse to eat tacos, again.
Now I am elevating my fat little foot so I just can't run a sewing machine, right? That is my pedal foot after all. I know lame, but I really detest mending. Probably because I have so many jeans to do and BLAH! I keep telling myself to be grateful that I have jeans to mend . . . . . then I remember, "They all belong to Jon". I really want to lose that last 30 lbs. so I can adopt them to wear around the house, or knowing me, all over town. Cut them off for capri pants, fill the deep pockets, free . . . . so nice.
I guess this amounts to I didn't earn any ice cream. Sigh . . . . que sera sera . . . .
Now as I think about all this, something seems so familiar . . hummmm. Oh, I know what why. I seem to remember for years, no matter what I asked/told the kids to do, I would come home and absolutely anything and everything was done except what they had been assigned. so the fact that my mending is still sitting over there, and there and over there too, must be their fault, I caught it from them!
It is actually the next morning now and since breakfast is done, it is time to spray weeds then clean up for a dental appointment . . . . aha! Saved again!

I'm glad you've found some new helpers! What can i say? I just am not available to do much during the school year. It makes me sad. :( But life goes on.
Good luck with the mending! ;)
I hate mending too. Teele will say I have some shirts that need buttons and I'm think just throw it out...but I don't. I always mend them. Now jeans are not worth my sewing machine motor. He only rips out the crotch when he fails to pull his pant legs up when he is mounting his horse. Too many thick seems for my machine to sew threw so I rip them up and make denim quilts. My brother is next on the list of wanting a quilt. Maybe for Christmas.......
