Day 4

Spending the day at home with my nephew and son who both came down with a stomach bug. Ugh! I really need to do something kind for myself today! So I've been thinking of baking some oatmeal raisin cookies for me (no one else will eat raisins in my family). Maybe I'll make a raisin free batch for everyone else. My AOK for another today will be to iron my husband's shirts. I HATE ironing and buy clothing for myself that doesn't need ironing. My husband doesn't really have that option since he's expected to wear dress shirts and pants. He actually has figured out that he can dry his shirts for exactly 9 minutes and then hang them while damp to eliminate the wrinkles. I bought a Mr. Steamy thingamagig at the grocery store in the discount bin last week to test out. You fill this plastic ball with 4 oz of water and toss in your dryer and it is supposed to steam the wrinkles away. My husband's verdict is mixed; worked for some shirts but not others. So I'll iron the ones that are still wrinkled and make his day!
