2000!

Hey, I just got home from the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class and I happened to look at my blog, only to notice I have had 2000 clicks on my clicker! YAY! No big deal? Maybe not, but I think it is pretty sweet!

Hope you are all having wonderful night!

I hope you all feel loved, feel love toward others and are just plain enjoying life, afterall, that's what it's all about, right?!

Doing Something Nice...

Sometimes doing something nice for someone is not something they will ever even know you have done, if that makes any sense?! Well, I made a quilt, because I saw a request on a fellow blogger's blog. She was asking for ideas for a gift for her husband's aunt. I responded that I would love to make something for them, even though I will never come into contact with the person the quilt is intended for.

I crochet, but I also make memory quilts (quilts with pictures of a lost loved one), but I rarely get the chance to just make a regular quilt, so I suggested that I could make her a lap quilt. I was really happy, when she said she would like that. It makes me feel overwhelmingly joyful, when I think I can do something to make someone happy, but this someone is suffering from breast cancer, just as my own mom did. The recipient has had a very rough go of her treatment and Christina wants to make sure she knows how they care for her and how much they want her to get better, FASSSSSSST! I am brokenhearted every time I hear that another person is suffering from cancer, so this was the project for me!

Anyway, I know I am rambling and rattling, but I can't help it! This project is just another step in emotional healing for me, but it is painful at the same time! I guess it is hard to explain, but working through sadness is not always easy. I know this every time I begin a project. I am thankful for the projects, no matter how hard they might be at the time.

Being able to do something nice for someone is what I believe to be part of my purpose here. I appreciate having a purpose other than dishes, laundry, toilet cleaning, and sweeping!

This is a fairly close view, but the quilt was not quite finished yet.

Just Call Me Lucy

This is the only way I can think of to let you know, that your blog will not allow comments, even though it has a place for comments. I tried to click on several of your posts and none of them will allow me to comment.

THANKS!

Locks of Love!

Meeeeema and Boog, after a big day is Boog's little life! Today, we cut her hair and sent it to Locks of Love!

That ponytail signifies hair for a child without it, for whatever reason, and it makes my day that she could do something so great for someone else!

And, get this, her hair gets to go to SUNNY FLORIDA! I think you should get to go there with your hair! ha! Maybe it is just a little too cold here these days!

I feel sick.

As I sit in my chair, working on the project for a blogging friend's sick family member, a Susan G. Kommen 3 day breast cancer walk commercial comes on. No big deal, right? Every time I see a commercial like that, it affects me, but this time I heard something just right and it SMACKED ME RIGHT IN THE FACE! The girl holds up a pic of her mom and says, "I never really got to have a say as to whether or not I wanted to lose my mom, now, I feel like I have had my say." I just wept. SUCKS! I know exactly how that girl feels, which is why I make quilts for those who have lost and those who are sick. I do the only little thing that I can to help someone heal. It helps me heal a little too, but right now, I feel sick!

My Boog...

My Boog has a tendancy to ask the SAME EXACT QUESTIONS every day of the week! The other day she came up with a new one, so I'll share.

Please keep in mind, she was talking about the color of our toothbrushes. There are so many of us that there is an entire rainbow of toothbrush colors!

"Mommy?" she says.

"Yes, Boog?" I answer.

"What pink ids dis one, blue?"

"Um, sure Boog, dis, I mean, this pink is blue?. (Of course it is, what other pink would it be?!) No, this one is purple, Boog," I say feeling like I have missed something!




I think she got a little confused, but by then, so did I, so I just let it go and brushed her teeth!

Happy Monday (#$&#!) everyone!

I have probably said this before, but...

I have probably said this before, but I am pretty sure that the school needs to start checking with me, before adding holidays, teacher workshops/institutes, or any other general days off! I have haaaaaaaaaaaaad it! And, no, it is not because I don't love my kids, or want them around, but it is more because I need my routine to remain the same waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than the kids do! It really messes me up, when they are home on odd days! They had a 4 day weekend. They just had two snow days just one week after Christmas break was over! I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed my routine!

Yes, I am WHINING! AGAIN!!
