Writer's Workshop: Football Version

The official beginning anyway.  For those of you keeping track football never really ends around here.  We eat, drink, sleep football pretty much 24/7/365.  It is our life. However those not officially affiliated like we are get really excited this time of year.  I am excited but I am also a little sad.  You see my husband packed his BIG bag to move into the dorms for the next 2 weeks.  He will of course come home for brief periods of time to make sure we are still here.  
This is from the first game last year. (or one of the first games)

After reading Mama Kat's writing prompts for this week I asked myself: if I could do it over again would I still choose to spend my life with a husband with this crazy schedule.  The answer is a resounding YES! I know that by January I may be questioning my answer to that but I wouldn't want it any other way.  Here are some reasons why.

Things I have learned from football:
1.  Texting your husband is sometimes more romantic than seeing him.
2.  There is nothing like a fly over during the national anthem
3.  Stadium hotdogs although not good for your waistline are sometimes just what I need
4.  The hard work and long hours really pay off 

So if you could do it all over again would you?

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it.  If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial.  I have pee stains on more than one mattress.  I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot .  It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know?  Another mom had pee stains too.  So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle.  I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair.  It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer.  You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longe

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

 I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster.  I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw.  I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop.  I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me.  However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house.  The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches.  I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them.  I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends.  Lesson learned
