I know this is weird, but...

I have a problem with leg cramps when I wear shoes with heels. Not the usual calf-folding leg cramps -- these are actually worse. They are leg cramps from my ankles up the FRONT of my shins. They are absolutely debilitating and none of the standard leg cramp methods (stretching the muscles, standing on a cold floor) work with them. So.... I got on the Internet and did a little research, and by pure chance, read a posting by a lady whose mother swears that a tablespoon of MUSTARD provides instant relief for her leg cramps. I was suffering horribly from these leg cramps as I was reading it and figured I had nothing to lose by trying this home remedy and grabbed a spoon and the mustard bottle and gulped down a tablespoon of mustard. I-N-S-T-A-N-T relief. I mean - INSTANT! Now this may be a mental thing or this may actually work. And either way, I don't care! It did what it did and it did it fast and it worked. LOL! My husband and daughter think I'm officially insane now, but for me -- MUSTARD is the new miracle medicine for leg cramps!

Monday's To Do List

Jeff and I spent both Saturday and Sunday morning cleaning house. On Saturday we did the downstairs -- first, an all-over pick-up of toys and mess from Brayden being here all day Friday. Then I dusted and windexed and cleaned the kitchen while Jeff vac'd. On Sunday, we joined forces to clean the upstairs. We worked together to change the master bedroom sheets, then I cleaned my bathroom and he cleaned his, then he vac'd while I dusted and windexed. It all goes so much faster when two people are working together! So today, my normal "heavy housework" day is pretty free. I only have two major things I need to do today, housework-wise! The rest of the day will be spent finishing up some Christmas presents. Monday's To Do List

• Make bed - done
• Make Jeff's breakfast - done
• Pack Jeff's lunch - done
• Clean up kitchen - done
• Empty refrigerator, wash down shelves, re-organize - done
• Clean downstairs bathroom - done
• Make grocery list for shopping tomorrow - done
• Phone calls - done

That's it! I may do some laundry as well, but it's just sheets and towels, so it's not a "have to".
