I continue to hear how bad it is out there - the economy - and I'm trying to ignore it. I watch episodes of my favorite shows, like 'Desperate Housewives', and escape for a bit. When I'm stressed, busy, feeling out of control, it helps me to deal with what I can control. My home - kind of like Bree on 'Desperate'. Of course, when you have a house full of kids there is a lot more entropy, but that's kiddos.
One night last week, I actually pulled out all the cloth napkins and ironed them all (and tossed those nasty rayon ones, what was I thinking? They were the color I wanted when I purchased them, but the feel is not unlike rubbing your mouth on a greasy sweater, bleck! - cotton and linen are the best). The process of ironing, vacuuming, organizing your desk. . . whatever mundane chore that yields a observable result can actually be therapeutic when life feels over the top.
And hey, if beans and weenies (decidedly non-Bree), are what we're having for dinner, it'll be much more fun with cloth napkins and candlelight.
