Rainy Morning

I love when it’s rainy and then I have a good excuse for stopping – for just staying in. We all three slept past 8 this morning. It felt so luxurious. I woke briefly when I heard Billy shut the door, turned on the lamp and finished my book I was reading. Then i went [...]

Dreams & Decisions

Last night my dream was of taking two pregnancy tests. The tests were as big as yardsticks. On the end of each stick were two lines. A positive test times two! I was so happy.
I went out to Dollar Tree this morning and bought a few tests. The result? Negative. But as I drove alone [...]

Secret Thoughts

Tonight was G’daddy’s 90th birthday party and we had it at a church. It wasn’t much family there because he is the youngest of 11 children all bore from Mariah and John. So many of them are dead. He had one niece and nephew there. They are old now – fraternal twins, daughters of his [...]

Damn Cat & Other Nonsense

Billy accidentally locked the cat door to the basement and the cat pissed on our carpet. WHY couldn’t she have done that in the kitchen which is NOT carpeted? I used some of this professional stuff he got at Lowes and I think I got most of it out but it’s still disgusting. I am [...]

Beautiful Day

Can you believe it is 73 degrees and sunny and yet here I sit on my big blue couch? I’m so tired. I’d love to fall asleep.
This morning MIL shocked the hell out of me. She called and asked if I’d like her to watch the girls so I could go out. Well, that is [...]

Friends Are Fun

I drove up to see Dani this morning. I haven’t seen her since last year when she went with me to a party I did up in Bridgewater. It’s a long drive. Took me about 45 minutes. I avoided the interstate though because it always freaks me out.
We had a great time! It was so [...]

So Far So Good

I woke this morning before the sun and lounged in bed finishing a book. The girls slept till 8 am. What better birthday present could I ask for? They are usually up by 7.
We made banana pancakes and have basically lounged around in our pajamas all morning. It has been lovely.
Tomorrow I’m going to see [...]

Easter

Today was nice but very cold. I dressed the girls in their cute dresses atop turtlenecks and long sleeve shirts just so I could get a few cute pictures of them wearing them.
Billy had asked me if I wanted to go to the Peaks for breakfast but I declined. Seems so frivolous and wasteful to [...]

A Magical Creation

This is a close up of the shower curtain I found at Big Lots for $8 and am using for curtains instead of doors in Emma’s room over her closet.
I got this idea from the nester to hang it way high to make it seem huge. Kind of makes me think of a stage or [...]

Coffee Time

Well, Emma wouldn’t nap so I’ve got her coloring in the kitchen happily. I’m sipping this yummy hazelnut coffee I bought from her preschool. Mmm!
We went out to Walmart this morning. I was in search of fabric to do some curtains like the nester does but their selection stinks. I think I’ll have to try [...]
