Not So Very Organized

In our foyer, next to the stairs, is a triangular cabinet that Len made with some of the boys. It holds a few candles and "I'm going to play Mass" supplies--golden plate, wine glass, etc. A few days ago Becca asked me to help set up the Mass table. No problem--I even cleaned up with her afterwards. That's when I idly picked up the random little box that had been on the cabinet for a while. Before moving it to the basement, I took a look inside and found:

a gift card
for me
from my parents
from Christmas!

Good grief! Doesn't say much (good, anyway) about my housekeeping skills, does it?

Anyway: Mom and Dad, thanks so much for your generous gift. I'm retroactively spending it on the sweater I bought while shopping with David to replace yet another ruined pair of school pants. And since that was in February, and it was on sale, I still have almost half the card left! Love, Barbara
P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  2. You look wonderful in green. Thanks for the picture. Couldn't be happier for the March surprise and hope you can use the rest soon. When I was at my Kohl's looking for the gift for the Dragones, I noticed racks and racks of reduced priced women's clothes. Just for fun, I looked at a sweater hanging on the end of a rack and it had been reduced to $3.20!! I wished I had time to look for granddaughters future gifts. Go shop! XO
