Toot Your Horn Tuesday - A Toot for Tina

Instead of my own Toot, I'm "tooting" for this cool chick, Tina! She was a participant in last week's Toot Your Horn Tuesday.

She's got a great blog! Let me tell you! She's a stay at home mom of 4 (like me, except that I'm now working part time!) and she shares all kinds of tips for living frugally. Her entry last week was a tip about a homemade wrinkle release concoction to aid in laundry time and hopefully help us avoid bringing out the ol' ironing board. Well, as soon as I read it, I had to try it!! Ironing might actually be a relaxing chore if I could turn on the t.v. and take my time to do it right, but who has the time?!

I found my son's clean laundry balled up on his bed this week, so I grabbed a couple shirts, hung them on hangers, treated them as directed by Tina, and guess what...It Worked!! By the way, my boys all do their own laundry! It's a rule in this house once you hit middle school. Parents: If You Are Doing Your Teenager's Laundry, then You Are Crazy!! I say, make them do it!

Anyway, Tina deserves a nice pat on the back. I'm looking forward to learning more from her blog! Make sure you visit her!

See there! I visit as many participants as I can and when I find a post that really impresses me, I just have to share!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - More or less

Just so you know,
You Do Not Have To Be A...
Crafter, Artist, Cook, Refinisher or Seamstress
To Join
Toot Your Horn Tuesday!

I'm just here to give you a well deserved pat on the back! Heck, if you just stood around and twiddled your thumbs all week, You Still Deserve A Pat On The Back!! Because God loves us no matter how small our accomplishments.

If you read my post last week then you know I've been "recovering" from some minor surgery. Recovering?!! Meaning I'm suppose to take it easy, no lifting, little walking, no jumping around etc. Let me just start by saying that I'm obviously not cut out for this "recovery" stuff. I've completely failed at it really. Sit down all day?!! I have a 2 year old! Hello!! She doesn't stay in a play pen any longer!

Yeah, here she is attaching something to the wall...Where did she get that? What is it?OH! It's a.....

I also have 3 boys. Key word here is "BOYS." Messy, active, and completely OBLIVIOUS boys!
Walking around the house with a bowl of cereal in your hands? Why not just sit for a bit?

At a table?!!

Anyway, despite the fact that I really fail at "recovery," I'm doing just fine and feeling much better! Thanks for asking!

Enjoy linking up with Mister Linky below. Don't forget to add a link to your post back to this fun party!!

Have you ever seen anything like this? This is how my daughter wakes up most mornings. Don't know whether to use a comb or a weed wacker!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - A Little Surgery

So, it's Tuesday again. What kind of fantastic accomplishments can you share?

I'm sitting here on my cozy couch with my feet up. Yep, I'm recuperating from a little outpatient surgery. Nothing to worry about, a few "female" repairs. Just my body telling me to "stop having babies" I think or maybe "you're getting old!"

Either way, I'm under doctor's orders to stay off my feet (generally) for 2 weeks. It's day 5 and I'm already going stir crazy. Did I mention that it's also Spring Break for my kids? AND the weather is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! The perks....Husband and Mother prepared Easter Dinner! Kids cleaned the house! I'm catching up on all my DVR'd shows! And this will be my view for a while...

You would think that I'd have more time to blog this past week, but that's a big FAIL! I've actually been on the computer a lot, but wasting much too much time of Facebook and Ebay. I bought Glynis some clothes! Yay!

Ok, I'll leave it to you guys now. I'm going out to lunch with a few women from my family, but I plan on coming home to loads of links! Can't wait to see what you are all up to.

Remember to use a link back on your blogs so that we can spread the fun!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Beauty & The Braggart

It's Toot Your Horn Tuesday, so I'm taking this opportunity to be an annoying
BRAGGING MOM!

Look at these darling kids!! Are they awesome or what? The play is finally over. Months of practices ending in 2 solid weeks of living and breathing Beauty & The Beast. With 6 shows!
That's my little teacup and my oldest son is the book keeper who doubled as a plate. The couple who played the lead roles don't belong to me, but I am so proud of them and all the kids. Aren't their (rented) costumes amazing? The talent was amazing as well.

For Your Entertainment

This is what a carrot sounds like...

You learn something new every day

...In this case, my daughter now understands the purpose of a puke bucket!

The busiest week of our year and my daughter gets sick!! Ugh! 2 of my boys are performing in a musical at school. Beauty & The Beast! They've been rehearsing for months and this is the week. The first performance was yesterday, but I had to miss it. (there are 4 more shows for me to see luckily. and I'll be sure to post some pictures later)

On the up side, after several failed attempts and many loads of laundry,
Glynis has finally perfected her aim into the bucket!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - SCORE!

Get your blogs and comments ready! It's time for our weekly pat on the back.

This week, I take the prize for BEST WIFE. I planned a perfect surprise date for my husband. We drove to a neighboring city for a sushi dinner, window shopping, and holding hands. Doesn't that sound romantic?But wait a minute, we also saw....Jesus Christ Superstar! ...the play, with Ted Neely who stared in the original motion picture from 1973. (yes, that makes him quite old to be playing Jesus, but his voice was still amazing!!)My husband just happens to be a huge fan of this show.
He owns the soundtrack on vinyl, CD and DVD.

"Now it's your turn Dear Husband"
