It's Officially Unofficial!

The Operations Manager of my husband's job seems to think they will all see a lay-off starting next week and extending through...

who really knows!

Maybe he will get called back and then again, maybe not!

I am here to tell you that I am thankful for what little we have, including food, shelter, clothing and transportation. I am not worried about much else. I will be grateful to come out of this recession with those very things and nothing else. I pray to come out of it with those things.

I don't want much. I ask for even less. I pray to see some stability in this unstable world! (Yep, it may sound silly, but I am still doing it!)

Praying for stability in a world that seems so unstable makes me feel a little silly!

My Sisters Giveaway!

I figured I would return the favor and show you this great little giveaway my sister has set her viewers up to be able to win! The rules are...Ha! I am not going to tell you the rules, but I will tell you that she has them all listed on her blog, if you want to go there and check it out! Go to Through the Eyes of the Young and Naive and have a look around! If you like what you see, click on the Etsy store link on the side bar and have a look around there too!

Man, I Am Sad!

My son, 12 year old Z, just left to go with his grandpa for two weeks. They have a 4 hour drive ahead of them. I pray for his safety on the way there, that he has a great time while there and that he be delivered home safely! He is mouthy and getting too big for his britches, but he is MY boy and I love him!

No, I didn't cry!

Yes, I wanted to!

I made him make sure to give his littlest sis a little extra love before he left, because she is going to be lost without him! She won't begin to understand where he has gone off to! She waved a little as they pulled away. She called his name, in sad little confusion. That was just a few short minutes ago.

No, I am not crying!

Yes, I would tell you if I was!

He was not supposed to leave until 4am, but since our festivities got rained out, we decided to let him go early, if they felt like leaving and beating all of the worries of drunk people on the roads! I was hoping they would go before any of that begins! I feel like too many innocent people end up dying on the 4th, for some reason. Just a mom fear maybe, but why not be safe?

I hope you are enjoying your holiday! We will have our "take 2" tomorrow!

I will leave you with an image of my boy and his littlest sissy! She had been asleep and her crazy hair was blowing in the breeze of the fan in my room, but she's still pretty darned cute! She loves him so much and he loves her too!

And The Winner Is...

And the winner is, Kylie!

Ha! Sorry, poor humor on my part, right Marcia, since you have said before that you understand the poor humor part?!

You had better understand, since you are the real winner!

I will get that right out to you!

I hope you all have a safe and happy, rain free, Independence Day!

Change of Plans

There has been a change of plans, since my local post office closes tomorrow, in observance of the 4th, I will be drawing at noon today and posting by 1, so as to alert the winner of the cute green bag that I am giving away!

I will be letting you know soon!

Yesterday

Yesterday was a bad day.

Yesterday is gone.

Yesterday I wanted to...

Yesterday I was wrong.

Yesterday I used to could.

Yesterday I was blue.

Yesterday was a sad day, because I was missing you.

Yesterday I thought I might...

Yesterday I did not.

Yesterday is yesterday and sometimes best forgotten.
