spring is almost here!

I got this email the other day, that spring is almost here!  We can see the deer walking around now.

Happy Last Day of January 2009

well we have one down and at least two more to go if not longer before we can say that winter of 2008-2009 is over with.

I do have to say though that today is quite nice outside.
48 degrees.
How can anyone knock that?

It feels rather balmy.

I was even out there for a while without a coat.
Okay maybe not the wisest choice but it is just too warm to wear a coat in the car.

I spent a couple of hours removing more wallpaper this afternoon and then just went and washed my car.

still can’t say I am halfway on the removing wallpaper part but…we are getting the grand girls, the youngest two here in the next half hour or so, so I thought I should get my mess cleaned up before they get here.

To quote my son Keira said “she would rather come to Nana’s house then go bowling.”  so that makes me feel good.

Anyway I hope everyone had a great Saturday and are enjoying this last day of January of 2009

removing wallpaper, ugh what a job!!

I have spent the last four hours removing wallpaper from the wall.
Ugh.
it is a horrific job.
A total pain in the butt

I have done it so many times in the last thirty years but it has been at least ten since I did it last and I had forgotten what a rotten crappy job it is.

I am not even a fourth of the way done.

a spoiled child

I am sitting here telling Mirielle NOT to baby talk, I really hate it but her mother allows it and when her mother is around Mirielle baby talks.
Now she is whining because her mother has to leave to go to work and Mirielle is baby talking some more and whining because she doesn’t want to go KNOWING I am going to say something to her again about her baby talking once her mother walks out the door.

HATE HATE HATE baby talking, it is like nails on a chalk board to me.

poppie has the touch

I came home to my grand daughters here because my daughter in law has the flu so my youngest child went to collect the two and eleven week old and brought them home so my daughter in law could rest.
Anyway I fed Kayla and held her and she was quite happy watching the other girls play and sucking on her fingers.
UNTIL  her poppie came home.
And then she didn’t want me, she wanted him and with in minutes he had her asleep on his chest.
He has the touch.

I have said before that she favors him over me and she proved it again today.

I love it that she loves him and likes being with him, even if she does prefer him to me.
I still have Keira.

let’s not dwell on it

every where I go, every where I turn someone is telling me how much they are sick of winter.
Sick of the cold and dreariness of this time of year.
I am sick of it too.
Very much so, but as I tell  everyone we are still in January and there isn’t any point in dwelling on it at this early date.

I don’t know if it upsets people that I say it but really what good does it do to dwell on it?
Griping about it isn’t going to make it go away any quicker.

two and a half men

if you haven’t seen this sitcom you have to catch it.
It is so funny
Alan is dumber then dumb but if he wasn’t on it I just don’t think Charlie could carry the show himself.
And then there is Alan’s son Jake who makes the show pretty funny too.

I highly recommend this show if you have never seen it.

no body writes anymore!!

I check everyone’s blogs daily and sometimes more then once and no one writes on their blogs.
I realize I have complained about this before but jesh, it is kind of depressing when I check so often and no one writes!!!

kind of depressing in a way.

I so look forward to reading my siblings thoughts (and on the very rare occasion my youngest child writes on hers)

but no one writes!!!!

I’m walking on sunshine

I’m walking on sunshine whoa, I’m walking on sunshine whoa, I’m walking on sunshine whoa, and don’t it feel good?
Alright now and don’t it feel good?

That song keeps going through my head and it is how I feel today.
I talked to a friend of mine that I hadn’t talked to in a while and as always it was great talking to him.
It is odd to me that I don’t realize how much I miss him until I am talking to him and we are joking and going back and forth on how our families are.

He is and always will be a special man to me and I won’t  deny it, to this day I still love him.
He is a very good friend.

So yeah I’m walking on sunshine.

God answers

The last few days I have been kind of down

sometimes life seems like it is just one big blur.
one day rolls in to another and nothing changes.
it gets ho hum boring day in and day out.

This noon while I was doing lunch with the kids at my school, I was annoyed beyond words at some of them and I went into the bathroom sat in a stall and begged my heavenly Father to please help me through this down time and make this hate and anger for everything today go away.

I won’t lie to you and say it happened right away because it didn’t, but with in the hour I was feeling a lot better and more at ease with myself and my life.
