what? who said that

Picture one Stations of the Cross my dad made in my (well the church I grew up in) church.

Picture two my original quote and the wall hanging I made for it

Picture three my mom , my sister Elizabeth in the back in red, my sister Mary Kay in blue and my sister Sandra on the end. The rest are some of my neices.

My weekend at Creating Keepsakes Convention in Louisville was ok. It was exhausting but fun to see all the scrapbook products. I really didn't take any pictures at the convention either. it was kind of crowded, but no too bad.

Things that are weighing down the brain and mood:

TAXES. Please tell me I'm not the only one not done? I have an appointment to get them done Thursday, and I'm petrified. I guess I'm just in denial. We've owed in the past so it's always a crapshoot and I'm always surprised by the outcome. This year with working from home, I'm sure it'll be a mess. ugh.

WEIGHT: but what else is new.

NOSE: it runs all the time

HOUSE: it's a wreck.

oh well

I might be getting better

I woke up feeling good! not usual, sadly, for me. Yesterday I said this to someone about my 'self' and my attitude: I'm better than I used to be, but not as good as will be.
What makes me feel good about that is that I said that without thinking or fear or hesitation. and it felt good.

Here's a wall hanging I made too of the quote

just woke up

have been incredibly exhausted this week. I can't sleep enough. I just woke up from a nap w/ Granddaughter. She's the best napping buddy. Remember that episode of Friends when Joey and Ross where nap buddies! I feel so good now. My house is a bit of a wee wreck, there's a wagon in the garage w/ a play horse and purse we found, probably of Madisons mommy and her aunt. so cute.
going out to dinner w/ my sister and her husband, Jennifer and her hubs for Mexican. should be yum

snowflake

you know the saying no 2 snowflakes are the same? Really? Is there someone who has seen every flake to say that. I find it hard to believe in the infinite snowflakes out there that there aren't 2 enough alike to say they're the same.

here I yam

I'm here, if anyone's there! lol.
been slugging it out with life. Taking almost all of today (worked 3 hours), all of tomorrow and ALL Monday off! Going w/ my sister to crop at our local scrappy store of goodness. I can't wait. We always laugh and chat and it's wonnerful.

time change

we never did the time change thing her in Indiana until a few years ago. And it kind of messes me up. Just this weird feeling of missing time. groggy.

Today was a good day. My brother,Brad, was in town for a few days from TX. I haven't seen him in a year! And that was when he was in the hospital w/ bad pnemonia. He looked good. Put on some much needed weight in my opinion. He needs a woman though. Just a good normal woman. All my sisters and my other brother and even some neices and nephews all got together for lunch. Good food, LOTS of laughs, and a tour of my church (still call it that even though I don't go there) getting an inside face lift. My dad is really excited about it and proud, so he wanted us to see it. He's making some frames, I think for the stations of the cross, for it too. That will be a legacy hopefully for years to come.I'll post pictures soon.

Here's to a great warm weather week.

not much to say

I've been overly tired. I really believe it's due to what's going on in the world. The worry and stress is exhausting. I took a 'mental health' day yesterday that i thought would really help but it didn't help as much as I'd hope. Just gotta keep on keeping on.
