Random Tid Bits

I know I've been pretty absent. I'll try and pick up the blogging speed here soon. I missed Tuesday because I was at my Grandpa's funeral 2 1/2 hours away. It's been a week of getting caught back up.

1. I learned to not miss work if at all possible. Obviously I had to miss. On Friday I left perfect instructions with another co-worker about what to cover. I had a PowerPoint on two famous designers. I also left a link to a full length movie that's on Prime (which she has), and bought microwave popcorn and kettle corn for the students. She had plenty of time to review the stuff ready for her.
   
   From a student I heard, "Ya she just went through that PowerPoint really fast, and didn't know what anything was." I left notes in the PowerPoint, so there really wasn't any reason to not understand some of the slides.
   
   With the movie I said they could work, while they watched it. I even bought boxes of microwave popcorn and kettle corn for them. She told me later, "No one watched it." Guess what? I wouldn't of given the students popcorn or kettle corn then. I must be a hard ass I suppose. I was/am annoyed.

   I've covered for many other teachers on the spot, and feel like I did all I could when I was need. I hardly miss class. I expected the same treatment as I give others. 


2. I bought these towels at World Market. I had a GC I won, so it went towards the towels. I only use them when company comes over. Red-Orange is my favorite color, and Blue-Green is Travis' favorite color. I have plain grey ones, for all other times. 





3. I offered to go through the remainder of my Grandpa's things last weekend. I was told, "Nope. We have it paid until the end of September, so we're taking our time getting stuff out of there." Now they decided to move that stuff on Thursday night. Wait for a weekend, when we all have more time! Travis models, and the boys more than likely will have homework, and Mica won't get home until after 6 because of Quiz Bowl practice. Now I feel guilty, for not helping. I'm getting group texts about the move. (Writing this on Thursday)


4. I had a friend come to interview me, for a grad paper he's working on. He wanted to interview people that have had drug/alcoholism in their family. My parents drink maybe once a year, just a single glass. My older sister, who I shared a room with growing up had a lot of issues with drugs and alcohol. I covered up a lot of shit, just to not be the crappy younger sister. Kind of brought back a lot of not so pleasant memories. She's much better as an adult. Do you have/had family members with drugs and alcohol abuse?


5. Isaak's taking Piano Lessons as a class at school. He likes his teacher. He was getting ready to play a song he wrote on his keyboard. The teacher said, "Wait a minute!" He put an app up that had a curtain draw open, and there was clapping. Then he encourage the rest of the class to clap. Hearing this made me smile.
   
   
   
   
   

Microfiber Cleaning Towels (5 Pack) Review

Spring cleaning is among us. I took apart the beds this weekend, and washed EVERYTHING. It took awhile. Next week the drapes, and cleaning out the cars are on my list of things to tackle. I don't like to clean. No one in my house really helps me unless I ask. There are things that I don't help with unless I'm asked. It ends up being even.
 
Along with washing this weekend I wiped down walls, the toilet paper holder, fixtures, and more.
 
I got Microfiber Cleaning Towels from Federico's Car Care to review. There's 5 in a pack. Yes they do clean cars, but they are great for cleaning indoors to. 

You could keep one in a room, or all in 1 spot. I've used them all, washed them, used them again, and washed them again. So far I'm impressed! They are super soft, and get in tight spaces to help clean. 

Cost: $15.99 on sale for $9.99.

Size
 
Large 16x16 inch size will make sure you have no problems giving your vehicle that great clean finish, or simply making it much easier to dust around your home.

Scratch, Streak, and Lint Free
   Microfiber is great at trapping little dust particles and will remove dirt from most surfaces without damaging the finish or leaving streaks. That's important with paint and varnish. Other rags do tend to leave streaks behind.

Reliable for Even the Dirtiest Jobs
 
Able to soak up much more than its weight, these towels can clean up grease and even oil if need be. 



 
In our house I use a vinegar solution to clean with. I steep orange, lemon or lime peelings with vinegar for 2 weeks, dump the peelings, add just as much water as vinegar, and sometimes drops of lemon essential oil. I dampened the microfiber cleaning towel with water, spray the surface with my cleaning solution, and whatever is stuck to the wall gets cleaned right away with no streaks what so ever!
 
When the company said - these towels are for the dirtiest jobs they meant it. Boys are gross. Isaak's wall behind his bed was super gross. I made him clean it. 

 
100% Machine Washable

Throw these towels in the wash and use them again and again. I've washed ours twice, and they are just as soft as the first time I used them.

• Wash Or Rinse Before Initial Use Is Recommended
• Machine Wash Cool/Warm
• Do Not Use Bleach
