So I have a routine when I dust. I start in the family room dusting the cocktail table, end tables and the hutch with my Jim Shore pieces. Then I move on to the living room, dinning room and Mark's office. I usually do our bedroom and my office on another day. It's all too much for one day. Well I'm not sure what happened on Friday but it was not my day to dust!
Remember I was home alone all week. I think the quiet got to me! Anyway I started dusting my Willow Tree collection and all hell broke lose. Since I have a smart phone it makes it really easy to share moments like this on Facebook. Take the picture, link it up and say a few words. I really do enjoy Facebook when I travel. Okay back to my story. This is what I posted on Facebook:
"Not my day for dusting. LOL...I knocked my pregnant Willow Tree lady over too and I told her I was very sorry. Guess this quiet house is going to my head. I'm talking to my Willow Tree figurines now! Okay off to the hospital with the tea pot lady.......I'll keep you posted!"
"Okay, teapot lady doing well
and little boy is all stitched up and resting comfortably."
Decided to stop dusting and start vacuuming. Before I vacuumed the family room I decided to bowl on Wii. Well it wasn't my day for that either. I'm still a pro according to them but I think they may take my pretty shiny ball away soon!
I was just about ready to start vacuuming and the phone rang. It was Mark and I said where are you? On my way home from the airport. What???? I thought you got in at noon? That is what he thought but he was wrong. I said I'm not done cleaning and haven't showered yet. (That was my goal before he came home) He said you want me to go somewhere for 30 extra minutes? No! So I jumped in the shower and remembered that I better thank God for bringing him home safe to me.
On another subject.....in all the crazy traffic last Tuesday driving to bowling I did see this. Guess God was giving me a sign to keep on going.........
(yes traffic was stopped or I never would have taken this photo)
Mark was in Seattle this week and happened to come by a Polish Pottery store and bought me these S & P shakers. Thanks honey!
Obviously my day did get better.....
and I'm not home alone anymore.

Some days the only thing you can do is stay in bed and watch television. A danger to society otherwise! Glad your day got better though.
Sorry about your broken Willow pieces. She looks all better after you fixed her though. Glad your day got better. Take care.
Sounds like you had a tough day. I am sorry that the Willow piece broke, but it looks like they are back together now. I love the S & P shakers that Mark got you they are really pretty. Hope you have a nice day.
I am sorry about your Willow pieces. I have several myself and love them. The bowling sign was amazing. Loved those salt and pepper shakers.
Thank goodness for crazy glue!! Have a nice weekend!
Oh my! I have days like that, too. So sorry about your angels... they are too pretty to breaking! :( So sweet of your hubby to bring you the little s/p shakers... they are cute!
I'm sorry, I laughed out loud when I saw the willow boy. It looks like he is trying to escape and reaching up for help from the teapot angel lady.
Glad the day improved.
Trish :)
I can't tell you how many times I've broken the hands on my Willow Tree figurines. So I stopped dusting. LOL
Awwww....glad you were able to fix them! Glad hubby got home safely and just let that dusting go:). I'm dog sitting our son's huge dog this weekend and our house is a wreck. Does no good to clean while she's here.
Dusting can be deadly... Willow Tree figurines (and all other decorative items beware)!
Love the salt and pepper set! So cute!
Wishing you a lovely week.
xoxo
We all have those days! Mine are usually when I'm tired or in a hurry!
Awww sorry to hear about your frustrating day and I know that some days are just like that - you handled it well and it ended nice -- Thankful too for your husbands safe travel!
Oh my i would hate to break my Willow figurines since they were all given to me by very special people. Glad you were able to mend them.
Glad hubby got home safe and what a swet guy bringing you such a neat gift.
I have been alone a long time now and still find it hard to get use to so I know how you were feeling.
Love
Maggie

Debbie when I have days like that I call them my Murphy's Law Day and I do have them. Then it gets better - lol. Glad yours did too. sandie
That huge bowling pin down must have cause some commotion :)
I like your style, clean a little -play a little!
Love those S & P shakers! Such a sweet gift. Now stay away from that dust rag before you do your whole collection in! Ann
I just broke one of my favorite Josef originals dusting:( SO glad your hubby is home safe and sound.
I'm stuck back at the revelation that you have a dusting routine. Here's my routine: Every few months I lok around and think "Holy hell, it's dusty!" And then I get up and clean what I can see (sometimes with my sleeve) until I get distracted by other things.
This is why I don't dust. Love the salt and peppers.
i hate those days when everything you touch turns to ungold. :)
I'm glad your day got better! Thank goodness for super glue...and thoughtful husbands who arrive home early :)
I'm glad your day got better! I love your new salt and pepper shakers! :-)
I have those days, too. Glad yours improved. And a Hubs who brings you such thoughtful gifts is definitely a keeper. :)
