My husband successfully took out the old toilet. When he was done, I told him to put all his clothes in the laundry and to wash his hands many, many times (with soap). The problem was that he needed help with the installation of the new toilet. He needed a hacksaw and a tile cutter... so many complications. When I read the instructions and told him these things, he said that he didn't need me telling him what to do... even though he was the one who told me to read the instructions.
Tuesday morning, my husband called a church deacon and asked about the installation of toilets. The deacon came over right away. My husband hadn't even asked, the deacon just knew. He came and installed the new toilet like it was some simple kid's project. He even cut the tiles and cemented them into place again. Now, we are waiting for the tiles to dry.
My children keep asking me when they can use the new toilet. It is very exciting you see. It has a button for liquid things, and it has a button for solid things. This is very exciting to my socially deprived, homeschool children. ;^)
We even got a call from another pastor. His wife read the blog and told him to help us. We were so thankful for their willingness to help. I told my husband about their offer and he asked, "How did they know about our toilet?"
Me: "I wrote about it on the blog."
Him: "What? You wrote about our toilet on the blog?"
Me: "Yes. I thought that people would want to know about our everyday life. Isn't it interesting reading?"
My husband had forgotten that I have the W (weird) gene.
After we saw the newly installed toilet, we made sure that the door could close in that bathroom. It can! Phew! Now, we are all waiting for the opportunity...

Dentist
I'm going to the dentist on Wednesday morn. Please pray that God will guide the dentist and give him the wisdom he needs to work on my teeth. Root canal! I need prayers!
Naturally Good Sunscreen
Sunscreen is something that all of us should be using to protect our skin. It protects against harmful UVA/UVB rays and helps prevent wrinkles. Whenever I read an article about skincare, sunscreen is always emphasized. BUT, what about that smell? Exactly!
Smell is a big deterrent for me. I don't like smelling like I just went to the beach unless I am at the beach. I've tried many different products. No matter what product I've used, that smell always seemed to be there. This included facial and body lotions.
That greasy feeling was another yuck. I already had oily skin in my t-zone, I didn't need more grease. The thought of putting lotion and, then, sunscreen was another oil disaster waiting to happen.
Don't get me started on the white cast it left. My kids have come to me with streaks of white on their shiny faces...
Then I came across this stuff. It does not smell like sunscreen. It is 70% organic, 100% natural. I can't tell you how happy I was to have found this stuff. I use it everyday after putting on lotion. Quite honestly, you might even be able to use this as your lotion/sunscreen. The sunscreen glides on very smoothly and you use very little of it. Let me reiterate: use sparingly because that is all you need. And, it doesn't leave you looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost!
I use it on my face and neck. Neck? Yes, neck. Your neck needs love too. It needs even more love when you're in your 40s. My neck is also the place where my what-happened-to-you, thyroidectomy scar is located. I need to protect it against the sun or else the scar will discolor more. It already looks like a red worm on my neck, I need it to fade gracefully. Sunscreen and vitamin E are key.
Okay, now the price. That is what you were waiting for, right. It is $29 for 2.25 ounces. I expect to use this for many months. I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted me a year - of daily use. Like I mentioned earlier, you don't glob it on. You use very little. Read the box when you get it.
When I find a super recipe or super product, I can't help but share it with others. That's the kind of person I am. I hope that this is helpful!
