Today is the day....

Today is the day that I will attempt to get my "to do" list accomplished.... I have a belated birthday card to make and two others that are already made that I need to get in the mail. I need to close all the storm window, since the wind has been howling through them for the past 2 days. A funny side note to go with that is that yesterday morning I was laying in bed thinking I needed to get up and take the dog out for his morning potty time and feed him and I was listening to the wind howl and I thought ....oh I bet it is freezing out there...I don't want to go out. So I proceeded to put my pants and socks on and bundled up with a sweatshirt and my Carhart coat and a hat and gloves. I went out to the garage, got the dog out of his crate and stepped out the back door, only to find that ...yes, it was very windy...but, it was almost 70 degrees out there.... I looked at the dog and said "what is up with this?, this is like tornado weather".... so I put him on the zip line to run and proceeded to take my sweaty layers off one at a time. o.k. anyway, back to the "to do's". I also need to put a seal kit on Amy's bedroom window, since it has a crack in it and the cold air blows right through. (Oh and by the way....probably by 4:00pm yesterday the temperature dropped and it got down right chilly, so I'm sure I will need all those layers this morning.)

We are planning to rearrange furniture and oh if I could twitch my nose and have a bigger living room, I would. We seem to have too small of a room and too big of furniture to go in it. We are suppose to have a girls Bible study here in two weeks or so and I don't know how we are going to fit. There are 10 of us....yikes!

I almost forgot that I have a potholder in progress in the craft room and I wanted to scrapbook a page that I forgot from last year. Oh my, I feel like I should get started now....but I am the only one awake at 5am on a saturday morning and I've been up for a while and it must be time to go back in and see if I can sleep for a little while before the dog starts whinning. But I don't feel like I could sleep yet. Don't you just love my blogging...which is basic rambling to myself... Hee hee...
Well I hope everyone else is sleepy peacefully.

My Barbie Creations

These are some of my new creations for the girls Barbie dolls... The funny thing is ...they had quit playing with Barbies until we were at Lucy's and she had a ton of clothes and dolls and they were having a blast. I was always a Barbie kind of gal so it didn't take much for me to get into it with them. Although Lucy is the expert at sewing Barbie clothes I think I did o.k. for my first attempts at it.... Boy is it tedious. I bought shirts and pajama pants at the Salvation Army for $1 each and have plenty left to make lots of doll stuff.....Notice the hand beaded accents on the purple one.... woo hoo !!!... I think I'm done with Barbie dresses for a while and I need to catch up on scrapbooking in my free time. sorry the last one is sideways...can't seem to fix it

Awake again!

So here I am at now...4 am....I woke up at 3:30ish.... just couldn't sleep....worrying about just about anything I could think of.

#1 the dog.....why was he whinning at 11:30pm? is he o.k.?
#2 has my mouth gotten me into trouble again? why can't I keep it shut?
#3 I need to iron all Scott's work clothes.
#4 will I be able to go to sleep again...because if I don't I won't be in a very good mood.
#5 I'm cold.
#6 will we get school done tomorrow?

AHHH! why can't I shut this brain off.....then I watched a western movie and that kept going through my head while I was trying to sleep, that and snakes and other weird things....

So I recite the "Be anxious for nothing" verse....which I feel I have to tell myself all the time....but apparently I refuse to give it up.....what is up with that.....My brain is one stubborn, sinful thing.....eeks! Praise the Lord that I'm forgiven and cleaned up thanks to Him.

So that's the end of that rambling session....aren't you all glad that I started posting again? hee hee....

HELLOOOOOO!!!!

Hey I decided that maybe I should put a new post on since it's been ....how many months???? wow!.... As everyone knows we have a new dog.... (puppy) a huge puppy....7 months old....I gave him one of Jeremy's old boots and within the first 3 minutes he had the velcro strap ripped off and within 2 more minutes he had a hole torn out of the side....he loved the thing. He ran and ran and ran with it in his teeth swinging back and forth. He is rather a cute little guy although he has been really expensive. We just had to take him for his third vet visit in the last three weeks......he digested rat poison. So now he is on vitamin K....which reminds me, I should actually go out and give him his pills before things get crazy and I forget....don't want to forget that. I tried to take video of him running back and forth all crazy on the line....but it was really blurry for some reason....maybe because he had just put his nose on the lens... :-) Gotta go....I'm making Barbie clothes this week....I need Lucy's help for that.... yikes....it's hard....
