It's Better For You Than Ice Cream

Today I have some cleaning and cleaning out to do, ugh, lots of vaccuming too. The vaccuming is not knee and back friendly but it needs to be done. Still wish I could twinkle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched! VolleyGirl had hours of homework last night or I would have had her do it. Pretty much homework and volleyball is all that she does, her room is going to require a bulldozer, since I refuse to touch it. Spring Break from school is coming up so she will have time then.......keep the door closed till then.

I created a new zentangle last night but this one was created last week when I did the flower one. Last night Mr Unplugged and I had been in the den a bit when I announced it was time for a zentangle. "What's that?", he asked. "What do you think it is," I said. "Is that some kind of ice cream?", he replied.

Tomorrow, Apollo takes the platform.

  1. As one who is keen to take a bulldozer to my son's room (from time to time, of course!) you have my every sympathy - Oh, and wicked zentangle by the way, AU!

  2. Hi Teresa: My kids are gone now, but I empathize completely! One thing to consider - a bulldozer is a short term fix - think gas can and match! :-}
    Seeya,

  5. Wow, there's so much depth to this zentangle!

    Do you refer to your husband as Mr. Unplugged because he's clueless? How did he get the name?

    I don't have kids but I do have a messy husband. Ugh!
    :D

  6. Yes, my name is Teresa, but what is my middle name.....hmmmmm? I have always referred to my husband as SuperSpouse but recently referred to him as Mr. Unplugged,and have sort of stuck to it cause it just felt right and funny!!!! It is from my blogsite name and not due to the fact that he is almost entirely oblivious to anything related to art and music!!! We are true opposites!

  9. It's a Zentanglecream Cone! They are so light and refreshing!
    I worked in the yard today. I tackled all those ugly leaves and transplanted some flowers from last year in order to accommodate my new bench.

  10. ugh- I did the cleaning and cleaning out bit today. Funny- I was thinking about how and when my daughter would be able to really clean and organize her room when I was in there this morning. I think it's going to have to wait til her school year is over (May). Her door IS usually closed when she is living at home. It is pretty much the only way I can pass it without going bonkers.
    I love your husband's comment- ICE CREAM!!! That was wishful thinking- I'm sure!

  13. Ha ha, I used to have a sign on my daughter's room. It read 'Don't Drop Litter. You'll never find it again in here'.!!!

    I think it's a windmill?
