A slightly crazy 25 year old with a great husband and two wonderful kids. The only reason one would want to read my inner thoughts is complete boredom or unconditional love.

I love Oxi-Clean!

Well, I just printed off two poems that I'm going to send to a magazine called "Five Points". If they publish it, they pay (I think) $50 per poem and a one year subscription to their magazine. Yay! I'm trying not to get my hopes up though. The probability of me getting the first things I send off getting published is low. I'm excited to be getting started though. I'll let you all know when I hear back from them whether its good news or bad. (which could be from 3 to 4 months - wah!)
Oh and I have something to pass on to all you fellow mothers. I washed a RED crayon with a load of clothes that held some new and favorites clothing items. They were ruined, so I thought. Red marks and spots ALL over our clothes. I went to Walmart and bought some Oxi-Clean spray, sprayed it VERY liberally all over the spots, and washed it with my normal detergent, Purex (with Color safe bleach). I'm very happy to report that all the spots came out!! Yay! I whooped with joy! I was very sad about our nice clothes being ruined! So you can imagine how ecstatic I became when I saw the resulting miracle. I could've done a commercial for Oxi-Clean at that moment. I called my mother yelling, "I love Oxi-Clean! It's a miracle spray!" lol I know, I'm weird, but you know what I'm talking about if you've ever had that happen. :)
Tonight I'm taking the kids to a storytime at the GELI (Gilmore Early Learning Institute) place. Its a cute place. They've donated all kinds of stuff to the Amory and Aberdeen libraries and they have their own place where kids can come and check out stuff (I think they can anyway). The flyer said they would read a Halloween story, and have a snack and a craft. I love free stuff. Don't you?

Hey! I'm glad you're back! I haven't blogged in a while either...with all the kids I have now and all LOL..

Good luck with your writing! Hope you get your writing published!

I'll have to try some Oxy-Clean! I like Shout and Spray and Wash, but sometimes they won't get out the stains. I'll have to try Oxy Clean now!
