It just makes me sick that they have clothes they will not wear-- and they just hang there taking up space. Such a waste.... I keep finding all these things at yard sales and thrift stores, and I'm lucky if they wear them once or twice before they just hang in the closet. IF I could only be blessed to find stuff for ME at those yard sales and thrift stores. But I guess most other women my size are like me and wear their clothes out so that they aren't fit to resell. HA!

I've got several other things to get done today, so I need to get off this computer and get busy before I lose the want to.

Have a great day everyone!

Girls are like that...fussy...don't buy them anything for awhile and see what happens...or maybe take them with! Let them pick out the stuff..

Good girl, I need to deep clean my house too, but it takes me forever and I just don't have the inspiration right now...I need to have a big get together...taht would get me inspired...wish I could hire someone to help(can't afford that)...its always more fun to work together anyway!

Hey girl its no wonder your tired...you are carring a heavy load....between family, church and work...having a baby takes a lot out of you....our bodies will force us to rest when we get to a certain point...and you may be there...you need to back up a bit and rest some! Try to say NO to a few things!

This saturday is the big Veterans day parade here...we are suppose to ride our Harley with our Hog group, and its suppose to rain...please pray guys that the sun will shine on Saturday for those few hours...honoring our heros!

I wish I could say that we accomplished major things today. Unfortunately, I can't.

I did manage to get a lot of things cleaned out and organized in the office. Again. It seems like this is a weekly job. I wouldn't mind the clutter if this wasn't the first room people walk into when they come in my house. They have to go through the office to get to the living room..... so I don't like to let it have the cluttered look.

I'll be so glad when the last aquarium is out of the house this weekend. We're planning on getting that done, and getting the Christmas lights up outside if weather permits it. :holiday

Once we get those things done, I am going to move one of the desks out of the office into the living room-- and maybe move the bookshelves into one of the kids bedrooms. That would help the appearance of the office quite a bit. We just need a bigger house, that would solve all the problems of where to put all this furniture.


I can't believe we have a freeze warning here for tonight.... it's supposed to get down into the 20s. It's already freezing cold to me, I have the heat going in the living room and office. The wind is just COLD. Samantha opened the front door a few minutes ago to take something out to her car, and it put such a chill into the office and living room. I'm having to warm it back up a little so my fingers and toes can thaw out again.

What I need is a nice cup of hot cocoa... then I could wrap my fingers around the hot mug to thaw them out. I probably should also go find myself a blanket to wrap around my feet.... these socks and fleece lined house shoes aren't doing the trick.

I've rambled enough... I'm going to get that hot cocoa now.

Ok ladies! Wish me luck - I am re-starting piano lessons today on my lunch hour. I know I am already busy enough right? But these will only be 1/2 hour every other week during one of my lunch breaks and I will also practice during my lunch breaks since my church is only about 2 minutes from where I work and I am there most of the time eating with my husband anyways. I took them when I was a teenager but I gave up and never really learned to play well without notes and I really would like to learn again so,....I have been on the waiting list for almost 2 years with a lady that is really really good and she now has an opening!! I"m a little nervous - like I said please wish me luck!

Yes your busy, but I think this will be something you will find rewarding...good for you! We have a piano, and I have not a clue how to play...but it's a player piano, so I can play with my feet.......good luck! I know you will be great, just be patient with yourself!

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....but I would rather be cold than tooo warm, if I am cold I can put on more clothes, slippers, etc...at my age, I am over warm way tooo much!

Good morning everyone....today is wednesday and my day to work downtown at my volenteer job...its grey out and makes me what to hybernate!

My house is cluttered too, needs tidying...I have been here on the forum...way too much! I had been away for so long...and here I am again......at least it's going well and I am enjoying it!

I hope you all have a great day...........

Good morning everyone.....its gray, cold, and damp here AGAIN...my word...I am blessed I guess we don't have snow to the roof, but the gray wears me down....I need a change...which is coming........RAIN......and lots of it I guess. We are going to get wet on Saturday in the parade!


I have a busy day...gotta work on my house, and make a batch of dressing for my dinner meeting tonight. Once a month the "Options" where I volunteer has a meeting so everyone can get together....and we have dinner and discuss what is going on. There are two centers and so many of us never really see anyone but the couple we work with...its a nice way to keep everyone connected.


I hope you all have a day of blessings and joy....
