Super Lips and An Offer

Monday was a HUGE laundry day for us! When I say HUGE it was really HUGE. I took up 5 of the FIVE load washers at the laundromat and when I dried them I used the 2 huge dryers and 5 of the larger ones all at the same time. That is the very easy part with getting clothes washed and dried. The hard part is getting home and taking the time to sort through all of them my who they belong too and then for the little girls getting things sorted into outfits (ie. shirt, pants, sweater or dress, sweater, and tights). This makes it much easier for us in the morning and I am not running around the house saying 'where is that (you fill in the blank)! I know that I have seen it around here.' You know what a mean.
Well I was going on about hour 11 of folding clothes. YES this is always an all day event with the girls at home. It's not a full 12 hours but the piles are always looking at you, so even if I took a small break the clothes were always begging to get folded and put away. Sorry....back to the story. So it was getting late in the evening and I was getting the piles smaller and then Katy walked back into the living room. Something was way wrong with her lips and mouth. She kept trying to say something like lip gloss. I take a good look and she has all this stuff all over her mouth and she isn't moving her mouth very well. Of course I ask what that stuff is. I honestly thought she had gotten into Steve's lip stuff, but it wasn't that. She goes and brings me back................SUPER GLUE!!! My baby had super glued her lips and teeth!!! Now this being my baby and third child I didn't get into much of a panic. I mean she was breathing okay and was very awake and oriented. Who wouldn't be?? Your lips are hurting since there is glue on them right?? Steve had just gotten back from taking Hannah to swimming, so I sent him downstairs to find out what we use to get it off. Isn't that bad that it didn't even cross my mind to call the doctor, but go check the computer instead? Well the super glue people said to use soapy water or nail polish remover. Well I didn't think that either of those would work, so in the end we broke down and called poison control. I mean parents who are not meaning to poison their kids call right?? and if you are harming your kid on purpose probably are not calling poison control right???
We get the advice to use butter to get it off and have her drink some Kool-aid to help her mouth feel better. Guess we are not the first people to have this problem. Granted the butter really did help and we got some lips unstuck! The stuff on her teeth I just got off with my finger the next day. Katy started picking stuff off of her lips after that and all is well.

Last night brought a super great e-mail! We have an offer on our house and it is exactly what we needed to have it clear on the short sale. That means we won't owe anything out of pocket and the house is sold for less than what we bought it at. It really is a HUGE blessing for us. Just for it to be sold will be great. It should close right after the New Year.
I was thinking this morning that I know it was the right choice to move in August. There is so much snow out in Utah right now and it wouldn't be very fun to drive that drive this time of year. I don't even want to think about what it could have been like right now if we were still in Utah and it being Christmas time and getting ready to move now!! **Snap** back to reality. I am here in Alabama and there is no snow. I like that idea much better.

It's time to get the kids up for school! It's should be a fun day with a lunch date with Steve (and half pint in tow), Christmas shopping, and picking up Christmas cards! Today is that fun stuff. If I don't have your address, please e-mail it too me so I can get you a card.
