A trail of thought leads to a shower.

As I was doing the dishes for the first time in a couple of days, I was trying to think of anything positive to keep my mind off the fact that every single one of my kids are sick and I have been a one woman band (meaning the other CEO of the home is also trying to be the CFO as well so hasn't been home @ nights) for what seems like an eternity.  Can't really blame him though. 

I started washing out the yogurt containers thinking it was a darn shame to be wasteful and throw them away.  "There's just got to be something I can use these things for...hmmm..they've got good shape", I thought.  That's when the idea for my next project came into my head.  My coping skills kicked into gear and again found myself forgetting about all of my worries by trying to create something else in my head with all of the trims I have hoarded over the years.  

Did I just say hoarded?  Am I a hoarder?  Hoarding sounds like a harsh classification but I do have lots of trims and notions that take up a full room and plus I've had it on the brain lately.  Especially after reading another article on the single lady who hoards children.  You know the one who just had octuplets after having 6 other children all under the age of something really young (in which two of the six were 2 year old twins and 1 was autistic).  I really appreciate the fact that she makes me feel really quite normal so that was good.  Thus far I may hoard fabrics and notions but I am no hoarder of children and I've almost established that I do not hoard water either since it had been a couple of days of no dishes.  Wait come to think of it had I even consumed any water today at all?  Another day without a shower and I certainly hadn't even come close to drinking my eight glasses a day.  That's when I decided to slap a great big award onto myself.  The award of the day goes as follows:

{Grand prize}

"Great water & yogurt container conservationist"

I feel so good about myself now that I've won an award, that I think I deserve to have a shower.  

Stay tuned for the transformation of the yogurt containers.  I have a feeling that they're going to bring much luck.

Now anybody who gets the point of this post deserves their own award.
