I must have smoked three packs this past week, all while hanging out a window hoping the drapes don't start to smell like cigarettes. I know Abime and I quit together for the baby's sake, but dio, I need something to do that isn't walking around the block six or seven times with Mathieu. Those other mothers are friendly and kind, but too talkative about things I don't care much for. I'm not meant to be a homemaker.
Abime tries so hard too. I know he doesn't want to disappoint me, but if I have to tell Marie that her little girl is just the prettiest thing I've ever seen one more time I might scream. I just might scream anyway. I don't care that your daughter has ringlets, she's not marrying my son. He can't even sit up by himself yet!
I hear you're engaged to Henri! I had to hear it through the scrolls, but I'll forgive you if you tell me all the details. You should come over and show me the ring! Please?
Did you know that you can remove burnt spots on a coffee pot by letting ice cubes, cut up lemon wedges, and salt water sit overnight inside? You can clean an oven with salt, and remove marks on tiles with toothpaste before washing it properly. You can use crumpled up black and white newspaper dipped in vinegar to wash windows. Dip the paper in vinegar and wipe the glass until almost dry, then shine with dry newspaper or cloth.
The things you learn!
