Hi all!! Welcome to my blog! Starting this to keep friends and family up to date on the craziness of our daily life, share recipes, share awesome websites, show off my latest crafty things, and give other random life tips....basically this blog is absolute and total randomness. I am the House ninja and this is my life.
Our adventure begins in Northern Pennsylvania. We came up here in January, just about the WORST time of year to come here. Our HIGH this week is going to be 20 degrees...yes the HIGH for the WEEK!! *thud* Quite a shock to this southern girl's thin blood. I haven't been warm since we arrived here 9 days ago. We are surviving but we spend A LOT of time indoors. HA HA HA We are currently residing in a little hotel and hoping to purchase our dream trailer. Being in a hotel with three littles presents lots of little issues which require ingenuity and patience to resolve. For instance, we have a 9 month old "Sugie" who is adorable, like seriously she is precious, pink cheeks, blonde hair, big blue eyes and a permanent smile on her face. Anyway, this adorable little troll, uh I mean child, can not go to sleep without a bottle. Not really an issue except that she doesn't drink it she merely sucks on the nipple for 45 seconds until she falls asleep then lets it dribble its dairy like substance onto whatever it lands on. Not such an issue until the next morning when it has fermented and now smells like the most awful fraternity house couch. *gag* Well living in a hotel as we are currently means you have no laundry services except to drive them into town to the local wash and fold which takes 2 days to wash and fold your laundry. Absolutely RIDICULOUS but I digress. Yesterday just happened to be the day my sweet, wonderful, husband took all of our things there to be refreshed which means I now have a stinky playpen, stinky blanket, and stinky baby with no way to wash anything. So our adventure today? Washing a playpen sheet and blanket in the SHOWER in a TINY bathroom barely big enough for one with a baby pulling up on my windpants which keep falling down under her efforts and a 3 year old poking her head around to look me in my face and say "Sugie's pull your pants down..." and laughing. Only took me 35 minutes and a shower later and both are clean and smell nice and are hanging to dry from my shower rod with a pile of towels beneath them to catch the drips. I go in about every 30 minutes to wring out the excess water collecting at the bottom and "fluff" them. I know when Cornbread (My wonderful hubby) arrives home he will come out of the bathroom looking very puzzled, holding a hopefully mostly dry sheet and blanket, and ask "Fun day?" To which I will laugh halfheartedly and say "If you have ever done laundry in a hotel shower, you might be a house ninja..."
