Oh my poor child. She hardly ever knows if we are making supper or another science experiment. The other day my nephew asked us what we were cooking, which was chicken and dumplings, and my daughter replied,
"Deodorant."
I promise you my chicken and dumplings look nothing like my deodorant.
She's been doing that a lot lately. She told me that her friend's from co-op mom was from a different country. It was the country of Eucalyptus.
Turns out she's actually from Holland, but you can see where she would get the two confused, right?
Now, we have started using homemade deodorant and so far it is going well. My husband made me sniff his pits last night so what a relief that it has actually worked.
We have started with homemade shampoo - again, now that I have found out more information about it. I have to tell you the truth, I do not like this adjustment period, but I do really believe that it will be worth it.
Of course there is no adjustment for my daughter. Her hair is just more shiny, more beautiful, and more tangle free.
It is really not fair.
Isn't life supposed to be completely fair? I mean just for me not everyone.
*sigh*

It's a homeschool thing, I'm convinced. My Mom used to keep our dissection projects in the fridge. My older brother once pulled out a paper bag thinking it was a sandwich only to find a half-taken-apart frog.
Well, you weren't stinking Tuesday night, so that is a good sign.
You'll have to post your deodorant recipe:)
Are you making shampoo or doing the baking soda thing?...I'll have to fill you in on my failed shampoo attempt:P
I do have a (shampoo)recipe that looks interestin' but I haven't tried it.
It's basically a strong chamomile tea with a little soap and some glycerin in it.
Oh my word - could our lives be any more different??? Of course, Schyler might think my cooking is like a science experiment - it's always definitely an experiment!
Schyler has perfect hair - like the other women in MY household. They can do anything or nothing with it and look great. I can do anything or nothing with mine and it still looks the same - like poo. Hopefully next time I visit I won't see Schyler wandering around with dumplings hanging out of her armpits.
You're funny. Thanks for a good laugh.
new post required.
The country of Eucalyptus! Ha! I'll have to remember that one...I was born in The Netherlands (aka Holland), and I can definitely see how it can get confused ;-)
Very sweet post...and thanks for sauntering by "my place" :)
