That was my day today. Last night my kitchen sink backed up and it was a nightmare. Sweetheart did everything possible....he tore everything apart, plunged, poured Drano, plunged some more, shop vac'd, plunged again, snaked, plunged again. Finally we called Roto Rooter. They were here in 20 minutes and had it draining in 15. They had to snake it out 40 ft. The culprit??.....
I got a huge scolding for putting rice and coffee grounds down the disposal. Why the heck have one if you can't use it? He told me to not put anything down there smaller than a basketball. The Roto Rooter guy is not a fan of disposals!!!!
Before the drain clogged up yesterday, I had a chance to clean out my baking center. I also keep our medicines on the top shelf of this cupboard. Here is the before pic.
I know my sweet mother-in-law is cringing as she looks at this. LOL See, Dianne....it is all organized and tidy once again.
The shelves all got a good scrubbing and everything was put back where it belonged.
I was inspired by this clean cupboard to bake something.....
Whole wheat, sugar free, oatmeal cinnamon muffins. They did not look all that different after they came out of the oven.
The kids LOVED them, (Emerson included), but they really did taste just like they looked. Heavy and Blah! I will tweak the recipe next time for sure.
Today was spent with my mom. I always look forward to those days. Tomorrow, Kyle has an eye doctor appointment. He needs glasses!!! Here he is cuddling with Sass.
She sure loves Kyle, and he really loves her!!! Sassy got into my cone of thread that is set up at my sewing machine. She got it hooked in between her teeth and strung thread from that cone all over the basement. What a mess! The cone was still in place, she just drug the thread with her like a runaway fishing line off a pole! ( I know this is dangerous for her and promise to watch her more closely in my sewing room. She has never gotten on my table before!)
I guess that is all I have to share. We are expecting our lye tomorrow, so hopefully we will be making soap over the weekend. I will come back and share with you all!

What a sweet sweet picture of Kyle and Sassy!
I hate to say those muffins didn't look very appealing LOL. It's ok Kyle, when I got my first glasses I was so surprised that I could see individual leaves on the trees instead of a green blob!!
Crispy
I look forward to hearing how your soap making goes. We have had to put our soap making venture on the back burner for now because of financial reasons. Hopefully, one day soon....
Sometimes Ace Hardware will carry Lye...but here in Missouri you have to ask for it...they keep it in the back and monitor it because it is used in the making of Meth ( of all things...yuck). You might try some hardware stores...especially if you live anywhere near Amish communities. It is surely cheaper than ordering it online. :D
One of my cats got hold of a pretty full spoon of Bottom Line. What a mess! I'm too thrifty to waste it, so i would wind some on a bobbin until it was stuck, cut, and keep going. I finally got it to the point where it was back to normal. I learned my lesson - keep thread away from the cats!
