FOR TODAY May 27th...





Outside My Window...


I hear birds chirping and the wind blowing. I see bright sunshine.And my bird feeders filled with birds





I am thinking...


About how I should be getting Westons and Ashleys wedding present done.And how many things I would love to do today



I am thankful for...


the sun,my hands, my eye sight.My beautiful and crazy kids.





From the kitchen...


I think how much Rhubarb can one plant actually give. The answer 11 cups of jam, 32 cupscakes and one loaf of rhubarb bread later.... ALOT, and still even more



I am wearing...


My white cotton button up shirt with my blue jeans



I am creating...


A life for my family, a tatting project for a new friend. An Apron for a friend and a quilt top


I am going...


down stairs to do those things I am creating




I am reading...


I Know This Much is True, By Wally Lamb





I am hoping...


For continued GREAT weather, and our tax check,lol



I am hearing...

The Cats Eat and the birds chirp



Around the house...


I still haven’t finished painting, or done the breakfast dishes.


One of my favorite things...


warm air





A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:


Have a picnic w/ the kids at school. Finish Heathers apron, finish the top,and send mom and dad thier box.

PS Piss Off

I read this blog: http://mom-o-matic.blogspot.com, there she has taught me to cary Gin in My Apron Pocket.(dont tell anyone! )((total joke I do NOT have any of that. I dont even know if I have have tasted it))

I have realized I dont think any of you know ME. Not that that is important but, I dont really know all of me either. I would have to describe myself and life song as Bitch by Meridith Brooks
I AM all of these things. I am a mom,wife,friend,surrogate,Auntie, and I am ME.
So in homage to MomOMatic, ONCE a week I am going to blog about being a better ME. Doing something for ME. Other than that it will just be a bitch fest,LOL j/k~~
So from now on this blog will consist of different things, different MEs. The crabby, sappy,happy,pissed,disgusted,angry,sad ME.Take it or leave it or just piss off, either way I dont care.Yes I want you to know that I am actually nice, and not just a synical hag, but hey I cant have it all.
Anyway today went like this,rainy,being told I was mean,repeating myself 8095699 times. To the SAME child.I like my job. Really I do, but working with dead people is SO much easier.SO SO SO much easier, but not quite as rewarding. I think that with it being the end of the school year kids are getting ansy to break free of the concrete walls, and cafeteria smell and be outside.Poor kids. They just want to be kids!
M is gone out of town, for work.It has been SO quiet! The kids get off the bus, we have snacks do homework and have dinner vegg a little, play Fact or Crap(thanks Weston) and go to bed.Kinda nice, but i do miss my man.: )
Anyhooters, I am going to go have some coffee, shut up I dont care if it is 7pm. I want it and I can have it. Then when the kids go to bed, I am going to curl up on the couch and Tatt on my FarmGirl Patch.I'll show ya when its done.Its gonna be purty!

5-18-08/Fishing

Well I love fishing. In the past two days I alone have caught 20fish.Only 3 big enough to keep. That is countless times of reeling and casting back out.But I have yet to bait my own hook. It is so nasty to watch the worm scooch up and spewforth the crap the have been holding in the whatever they hold their crap in. But hey I will do it,probably sometime this week. Cause I will be fishing alone I will have no one to do the dirty work for me. I know, I am sucha pansy ass.
These last couple of weeks have been REALLY good,very busy. I got to stay at MaryJanes Farm, with some ladies who I really admire.Heather and I went junkin a few times, and so did Grace and I. I always find good stuff. There was a Vintage Bread box/coffee&sugar holder. All chrome or whatever for 40 bucks , I found one in ValueVillage to 5.00! Then Our town had a charity yard sale, and I got a huge box of quilt tops, from 1943 in their sent envelopes.I got a box full of tatting practice peices with a newpaper in German. And a huge box of tea cups.
Our garden is almost all the way in, I have a few things that need to be put in today.I have some things up front, but until we get some trees cut down, we arent putting anything that needs sun out there.
I have come to realize that I am a big girl, and I am starting to really like it here. I have my own life here,I have friends.I have a J O B that I really enjoy,this house and the lake are amazing. Not every one can walk to their fishing spot.I can honestly say that I am actually happy.
So for you who tell others I am a loner,recluse or whatever you are wrong. I am not a loner , I just dont need others to validate ME, I dont need people up my butt all the time or to define who I am. Your words are nothing to me,they did hurt, but not anymore. I dont care what you think,you preach Gods love? and then you go around showing the REAL you. Total contridiction, but hey you have your way and I have mine.
I decide who I want to be friends with.
Dont be bitter.

Yipiddy Frickin DOO!! I am 28! Holy crapola I am almost 30? Seriously is that even possible?

Anyway, this morning I went and had my hair cut.I chopped it OFF! I have aboy haircut.



Just kidding wanted to make sure you are paying attention. It is just above my shoulders, and since we have been here it has gotten so curly. I dont get that but whatever. I wont get into the things I cant begin to understand. Then I went and had coffee with my favorite Heather. Then Mikey took me out to lunch at the Tomato Street Grill. Dang good!! Then I stopped at the Recycling Center and got 3 full gallons of free paint! SCORE! Then I came home and waited for the mail lady, cause my favorite Aunt Debbie got me a gift card for BuggyBarn, but it didnt get here. BUT I did get some AWESOME mail. 1rst a Birthday and Mothers Day card from Sweet Anan. He signed his name in a card that said I love you Mom. Keeko also said he told his Grandmother he is coming to America to see his American Mom.lol Only a little over 1 month and a half.

Then I got a Card from Hannah and Cody that said thanks for their bday presents.And a card from D&H signed by both of them. H said 28! OMG I remember when you were a baby! They are so awesome. Did I mention the 25$gift card to SB?

So now I have 6 kids at my house all of them but 2 are mine. The boys are hellians, I just noticed there is one mor eoutside. I better go wrangle them. Anyway my day has been pretty good. Thank you to everyone who wished me a good day.

5-6-08

Well this weekend I went away for a Farmgirl Retreat. In 1 way it was almost too long of time to spend with other women, but on the other hand when I came home I almost wish I could have stayed longer. I told Heather I want to come back here, but alone next time.LOL I am not a people person for the most part, and 11 other women almost did me in. Oh sure it was fun and nice. We ate,I came away inspired, knowing how to Tat, (it is beautiful), I came away with some new friends, and a new respect of people,women. I came away with ideas for me one day. What I want.What I need. I want acres for me to have an outside kitchen, and wall tent. I want to sleep outside in a canopy.

So this week I am making a list of things I want for THIS house, I am looking at it as we will never move, although I know that is unlikely. A gazebo,with room for a twin bed or hammock, a small fire pit, and outdoor living space.I have also moved our bed into the yellow room, I could sleep/wake up in such dark. So my sewing room is in the wood room, I am going to start fixing it for me. As I told Heather, I am going to "ShabbyChic" the hell out of it. I am going to paint everything BRIGHT white, and bring in pale pinks greens and blues
