It's one of those chilly, rainy days in NJ where one's mind turns to all of that neglected housework, especially ironing....we'll maybe.....if I could find my iron. Last time I saw my ironing board it looked like a roller coaster=very warped. I must admit two of my kids asked me the other day what an iron was...BAD MOM MOMENT...but very funny all the same. While my grandma used an iron as a doorstop (a cast-iron iron), my mom was a BIG ironer (sp?). I practically grew up under the ironing board (BAD MOM MOMENT FOR MY MOM)...with the iron sizzling overhead...and the smell of spray starch filling the room. Maybe I can convince myself that my lunch guests like wobbly linens? Or I can just keep blaming the kids..."I have NO time with all these kids!" Maybe these amazing paintings will inspire me to search harder for the hardware.....enjoy!
