Playing catch up

I've been so busy this week... still trying to hammer down having a job, taking care of the kids & the house and everything else that goes along with daily to-do lists. (So why am I on here blogging?...I need to de-stress) Anyway, the job is going good. I'm the 4 yr old teacher assistant. We've been so busy getting ready for our big Thanksgiving production that we haven't had a normal day yet, but it's okay because we've been crafting a lot & I love that! I'm anxious to see the big program which will be on Monday. Kensley has been singing lots of songs, but I have no idea what she's actually saying. She LOVES her class & says every day "i go my class mommy?" That makes it much easier for me each day I work. But to be honest, it's been hard getting back into the groove & trying to fit everything in every day when I'm basically losing 5 or so hours a day. I'm sure once I get into the groove it will be Christmas & then we'll be off a couple weeks & then I'll have to get into the groove all over again.. nonetheless, I'm thankful I have a job. A lot of people can't say that these days.

Anyhoo... just wanted to say hi. You may not see many posts in the next few weeks. Tis the season for busyness!

Shower Curtains

Okay, I need some feedback here. I'm on a mission for a shower curtain that actually does what it claims. Here's what I mean. I'm constantly replacing shower curtains because of the funk that develops on the bottom half after about a month or so. I've bought every "plastic" shower curtain in all price ranges from the $1 ones at the Dollar Tree to the $12 ones at Wal-Mart that claim they are some kind of special material that "resists mold & mildew" to the commercial strength ones to the $20 ones at Belk that have the little suction cups thingy's to keep the curtain closed. Thing is... they all are the same... they all mildew. Some may "resist" a few weeks longer than others, but I end up replacing them over and over and over and over... you get the idea. They are good for about a month & then the "funk" starts at the ends where the curtain always folds over because it's too wide for the shower. Then like BAM it's gross in a matter of overnight... the little black spots start creeping up towards the middle & there is no beating off the water or wiping this one clean. No matter how much I try to shake off the excess water & make sure to keep the curtain closed for it to dry, it will always need to be replaced.

So here's my question... what kind of shower curtain do you recommend? I've thought about buying a cloth-like one & washing it, but is it going to be worth it and will the "funk" actually come off in the washer? I need suggestions.
