Even if you do not make soap, can you tell me what is wrong with this picture?
The past several weeks have been filled with a lot of extra chores that range from digging out from two snowstorms, taking care of a special needs kid, and listening to the barn monitor to ensure no kids are born in the middle of a single digit temperature night.
I am a zombie. But the brain does still function…partially.
Today, out of necessity, I made soap.
This lovely batch got mixed twice. The second time with everything that should have gone into it the first round.
It may not look so neat and pretty…but darn if I didn’t save the soap.
I still marvel at how nicely the soap poured out of the mold back into the mixing pot. Slick and smooth. Like melted butter. Someone was looking over my shoulder, you think?
I may be reporting from the Funny Farm if I do not get some sleep.
At least I will still be able to laugh.
God gave us humor for a reason, didn’t He?

Bless your heart. But, honestly, Mary, I can’t tell you what’s wrong with the soap. It looks shiny and lumpy from here, but I like the champaign color. Glad you saved it. Have a nice Saturday, and take a nap.
Hey Debbie! I have to tell you, I can no longer post comments to your blog from my PDA. It simply does not like it. You are not on ignore. I will catch up!
There wasn’t anything wrong with the soap. The soap mold and its surroundings were rather gooey and messy.
The soap cut wonderfully today.
It was funny!
Yep, sounds like you need some sleep and some sunshine, girl! Hope you got all your milk cleaned up. I get too wound up myself at times, and have to just a step back, talk to the Lord for a few minutes, have a little cry, and get back on the program.
That soap looks great – I’m glad you were able to save it! spring is just around the corner – hang in there! I hope you have a good weekend – try to rest up a bit!
Awwww–I am fine. A bit stubborn is all.
I hope you are warming up in Texas now!
My daughter swears by your soap Mary. She says it is so pleasant and mild to use, has a wonderful fragrance and it doesn’t leave any residue on her skin or on the shower. Ok, it may be a little messy when you’re makin’ it, but when you ship it out, it is perfect to a ‘T’.
Debbie
I have to make a mess now and then. Perfection wouldn’t be a good thing, would it? At least it isn’t in my kitchen. Spilled milk is bad enough. Ha!
Are you snowed in as well, Debbie?
Sounds like your a keeper. Soap looked great! Now go rest relax. Thanks for the post.When we get pooped her at the homesstead we head for the hammock, but because of all the white stuff we settle for the sofa and a copy of mother earth or grit.
That sounds like a winner, Joe. At times, during kidding season, we sleep when we can. It is a time to sacrifice a bit.
Oh girl, I feel for ya! I hope you can find a bit somewhere in that busy schedule to hide and take a nap!
Hey there! I want to hear how you math test went. I think it was math, correct?
My studies are going well. More on that soon!
