Thursday, Kim plans, God laughs, Thrifty Thursday

  Kim is so smug as she got so much done yesterday including 3 sets of military dress blues that she had been putting off forever.  So a young airman comes to pick his up this morning and I had sewed all four patches on upside down.  *&^%$#@

I sewed until 9 p.m. last night as I had a DECA student that was leaving from Spokane at 5 p.m. this morning and her pants and coat and career wear had just come in the mail at 6 p.m.  So she dropped off and I got her done.  We have no shopping here.  Everything has to be ordered on line and then it is back ordered or does not come in, I feel bad for these people who wait and wait until there things finally get here.  I was tired last night when hubs and I went to check on missionary apartments.

There are myriads of fires burning all around us, as we had dry lightening storms yesterday morning.  Hubs went out with a buddy to the grange top to look at fires.  I could not go as I was sewing.... can you beleive that?  Yes sewing.  By the way feeling came back into my thumb about noon.  Until that time I just looked like a drunk trying to sew.  I mean the thumb would work I just could not feel it.

Started out this morning with my computer going down, so had to call the Computer doctor who is an old student of mine and he talked me through the problem and now I have to bring him brownies.  I consider that a cheap fix.

SO far this morning I have had 2 bridesmaid dresses, 7 pairs of pants  to hem and 2 blankets to bind, in addition to the uniform I have to fix the patches on.  This all came in during the first hour and 15 minutes I was open.  SO how can I ever catch up I ask you?  I was so happy yesterday as I thought I had reached status quo. Well Kim plans.....  I am just shaking my head right now.

my plan of attack today was/  now is:

1. fix uniform *&^%$#

2. neck line bridesmaid dress

3. shoulders bridesmaid dress

4. shoulders bridesmaid dress

5. take brownies to Computer Doctor

6. hem bridesmaid dress 

7. put fringe on rug

8. hem pants

That is enough for today.  I really should do more, but why?  God will just laugh some more because he really does love me.
