Solution 1: Tuesday, as I stood up, it became apparent to me that I am no longer dizzy. Before, I had to lean over and hold to a table, walking my hand around it until I could reach the door knob and use it to stand up straight. Before, I wobbled dangerously as I turned a corner to go into a room through a door. Only the door frame save me from falling. In the kitchen I could not turn without flinging out my arms for balance and reaching for a potential hand hold.
So, I am presuming this all has to be because the tooth is GONE. Plus, I have been taking an antibiotic for 25 days. Tommy also thinks this is not correlation but causation. Remember the fall/slide to the table? Well, this has been going on for about five months, maybe more. I have whacked my head often. Getting out of the car into an electric cart is tricky with my having to hold onto the door and get hold of the cart, never letting go completely.
Solution 2: Tuesday, we heard a slight noise at the door. When we heard a vehicle leave, I checked for a package. I received my box of 300 quart zip lock freezer bags. I will have to keep only about 50 of these on the shelf in the kitchen. The rest will be taped to seal the box and kept in the bedroom. So, one more item for which I do not have to shop or search.
When we moved into the house that was 4000 sq ft, it seemed that it was made for decorating. I made swags for the stair railings and further decorated the swags on the railings. Then, I wanted a Christmas door mat inside the door. I would rather make one than buy one. Well, I decorated a mat.
Door mat: I had my daughter who was only seven-years-old make it. She enhanced one that was woven, maybe some sort of grass, thick with large square holes? I gave her some cheap, red paper Christmas ribbon about 3/4 inch wide or maybe 1 inch. It was what I had. I explained how to weave it in and out around the edge and to be careful it stayed flat with shiny side up. I assured her that she could do it and I would like it. She finished that and it was as good as I could have done. Then, we attached a plastic poinsettia bloom to one corner. It was perfect and she was soooo proud of what she had done.
When we had a party and when any company came, every person stepped over the mat and stepped straight onto the new carpet right with wet or muddy feet. I asked a few people why--"so I won't mess up the door mat!" Everyone praised the pretty mat and my daughter was pleased the did.
This daughter became quite accomplished in crafts and ornamentation of existing items. She also provided her children with crafts, paints and such, all the time.
Can you relate an instance of decorating, especially on a budget. Or any occasion where you taught your child who helped. Oh, just any decorating experience that we might enjoy, that you enjoyed, or that inspired your child.
