ROFL!! That is what I did with my mish-mash mess from the dog and
child. I picked out the Swarovski and a few other beads and just bagged the rest up in 1lb bags. Kalera Stratton wrote in message ... You could always sell it as a custom mix on eBay and buy all new purple seeds beads... -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Helen C wrote: Well, I've started the sorting. Picking out the one color of bugles was easy. But the 14 colors of seeds are going to take a while. A long while. Glad you were all amused! At least it wasn't all over the house. Mainly in one spot. And I even vacuumed and salveged (sp) those beads! Can't stand bead soup but thanks for the suggestion. If it wasn't the only purples I had I probably wouldn't worry about it. At least they're different enough to sort (no close colors) Just time consuming. Didn't even beat the boy (though the thought did run through my head) Just yelled at him. I think he even tried to tell me he was sorry. Can't wait till I have this next/last kid so I won't be so tired (HAW! Like that's gonna happen) In about 16+ years maybe! Thanks for the support.

And, in point of fact, you will look back on the
incident and smile in the not-too-distant future. It's part of the "motherhood syndrome". It just happens. I have 2 that I thought about abandoning in a shopping mall several times (just kidding!). I laugh about most of the stuff now. Matt just came home today for his leave before he ships out to Japan. He also dropped the little bombshell that almost everyone is having their tours extended to 2 years, like it or not. There were many times I wondered why I had children. I never thought of myself as that great a mom. But when I look at them as adults I'm so proud to them. And worried. The world they inherit is in pretty crappy shape at the moment. I have 5 half-brothers. Between them they have 23 children. And Brian hardly counts, as he only has one. My brother Chris and his wife want 8. She is having one every 2 years so that she can fit them all in and still be young enough to see the eldest graduate from college(!?!?!). If one of theirs pulls a really royal stunt, will anyone notice if they come up one short?

And people always asked *why* I never had any kids.... =:-o SNORK! Sistah! I hear these stories and thank God that we stopped at one. Once there are more of them than there are of you, you're done for. They also know when you're totally exhausted and at the end of your rope. Like puppies, there's a reason God made them so cute - they'd never survive otherwise. OTOH, a friend of mine with seven(!) tells me that having a whole slew of kids is much easier than just one. She claims they entertain/watch each other. (Hers range from 17 to 3 - she plans on having more, too!) Hlen, you have my sympathy and empathy. I certainly wouldn't bother sorting all those purple beads - call it a custom bead mix, and smile whenever you look at the finished piece.
