“Mother was right!” – gotta have it!

I did NOTHING yesterday (and that means nothing). Oh, except finding out that both kids have horrendous ear infections…thus the “happy one minute”, “inconsolable the next”. I told the Dr. if there wasn’t something wrong with them I’d get her to prescribe me something! 😉 I made a cool fabric
