The day started kind of rough, but in the end I think everything went well.
Jesse actually got most of her school work done for today and considering she had to do most of yesterday's work also is a tremendous feat for her. Its about 8:25pm and she is taking a History test. We won't get English, Reading or Geography done today but she did awesome! Chloe did finish all of her work (except Geography, they do that together) today, with the help of John who read her science book to her tonight.
After three-and-a-half years, today I received, "Marsha, I apologize for Tuesday." I was floored! I feel much better now. Thanks for asking. lol
Okay, do you want to know what John and I did last night after the girls went to bed...of course, you do! We made the "Duggar" laundry soap! For those who don't know, the Duggars are a family of nineteen, soon to be twenty, in Arkansas. We tried to make the soap over the weekend with another recipe but it didn't work out quite right. So, we dumped it and tried again. It has to sit overnight so John is downstairs now putting some of it into an empty container I saved. I'll let you know how it turns out. If it works, our laundry soap expenses will drop dramatically.
John is off tomorrow to prepare for school. I'm hoping we'll still be able to get our schoolwork done because its not a day I scheduled off. Should be interesting, but he usually pitches in and takes one of the girls to help with her work, so I'm hoping we end the week on a good note.

I'm so glad to read that your week is getting better!! I can't wait to hear more about your Duggar soap!
It worked! The soap worked very well. We just did a load with it and it smells, and feels, nice and clean. I still want to do the math to figure out exactly how much it cost us but it is significantly cheaper than what we've been using. John is VERY excited about it.
Hmmm, I feel a Christmas gift in the brewing. ;-) LOL
I had to go look up the recipe. Did you use any added scents or anything?
No added scents, just what is in the main recipe. It smells good though, but its a simple, clean smell. You know?
