It just goes on and on and on...

This is the week that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
We started on Monday because that's how a week begins
But Monday seemed to last forever just because
This is the week that never ends...

Anyone with me on this? I have never had a week that seemed to last for so long or where I have been so disoriented time-wise. There have multiple times this week where I truly thought it was one day and it turned out to be a totally different day. One of those instances was trying to convince the household that R.'s birthday was not on the day it really was because I thought I was on a different day. I can't decide whether it is more frustrating or concerning.

Part of the difficulty is that other than video church on Sunday morning, this week has had no appointments or any sort of event(other than R.'s birthday which clearly wasn't enough) to mark the days. They just start blending one into the next. J. has been much better able to keep track of days but he is still working, though remotely. I should just believe him when he tells me what day it is and not try to argue with him about it.

I'm not the only one who is a bit confused. More than one child has had to ask what day it was recently. Y. even pondered what if we totally lost track of time and it was actually May 16 or something. But that would mean that time had moved quickly, and judging by the fact that this week has seemed a month long, I don't think that is going to happen.

For those of you who might be as confused as I am, tomorrow is Friday, May 7. I'm pretty sure.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) [This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but is here solely to give Blogger a different photo to post in the thumbnail.] It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric an...

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another giveaway day , the day where many bloggers giveaway things they have made or supplies to make things or both.  It is great fun to visit a lot of blogs and try to win cool stuff.  So fun that I thought I would participate this year. I had great hopes of making a set of coordinating mother/daughter aprons.  But reality reared its ugly head and I came to terms with the fact that my time is not limitless.Instead of aprons,  I must continue to spend quality time with yards and yards of red plaid flannel.  What am I making?  Well, as I tell my children, it is the season not to ask questions... I will be able to let you know sometime after the 25th. Instead of making something, I went to my favorite thrift store and found some supplies in the form of sheets and pillowcases (some of my favorite raw material).  I'm giving away three pillowcases and one twin flat sheet. I decided to go with bright, springy colors...

The mystery of the missing soap

You all know that I am an avid reader of mysteries, but sometimes we have our own real life mysteries here as well. Take the case of the missing soap. One of our bathrooms upstairs is the children's bathrooms, whose sink is lower than other sinks upstairs. Now, since it is the children's bathroom, it is not always pristine and things cannot always be found when they are needed. Are we the only house where things just randomly vanish, never to be seen again? This happens fairly frequently. Often the items are too big to have been taken by Borrowers , but every human in the house disavows any knowledge of the missing item. As far as they are concerned, they never even knew said item existed, so how could they have taken it? Often Mr. Nobody gets the blame and we move one, the item sometimes resurfacing at a later date and sometimes not. Early last week, when the little girls went upstairs to get ready for bed and found an entire bar of soap missing, it was classed as one of ...
