prayers vibes etc
I'm having a really bad day today. I'm so so so sick of the worry and stress. I'm whining I know ; but it's not fair to work as hard as we do and have to stress about making my house payment and every little thing. so if you're so inclined, please pray for us that we'll have patience and maybe a little more luck.

sicky sick a little
I've been feeling super rough since Friday night. Too much rum and now a bad migraine. I did get out to see my best gal pal today,Debbie. I haven't seen her in probably 3 or 4 years and we only live about half an hour apart! We've been friends since about 1990-91 or so.I'll post more soon.

storing stamps
Michaels has a lot of $1 stamps, including alphabet stamps in different fonts. They're really tiny, and the boxes they come in don't leave a lot of wiggle room for getting the stamps you want in and out of it. I wasn't using them because I always felt like I didn't want to mess w/ getting them in and out of the tiny box. Finally I had a brain storm and put them in these little baby food plastic containers. They were slightly different sizes but wokk perfectly in either. My granddaught has out grown this food but I'm hope Stepdaughter saved more of these containers. They're very handy.

cooking
I love to eat but I don't like cooking. I think the reason I hate it is because I constantly feel like I'm trying to piece things together. I never seem to have everything for a recipe that I need, and I feel like I'm short changing the dish by substituting. The other day Posie Gets Cosy was saying she wasn't feeling good, and she just wanted to be in the kitchen cooking. It made her feel better. Suddenly, an epiphany. Maybe I could like cooking?
I saw a recipe on the can of chicken broth for pot pie. I had everything it called for!! It was chicken, broth (duh) any veggies you wanted, self rising flower and milk. And a whole stick of melted butter! normally me likey like that, but it was too much even for us! Half a stick would have been good. But it turned out good. Even husband liked it.
At Madisons birhtday party my husbands first wifes sisters husband was asking everyone what their speciality of the kitchen was. He asked me and I was like "umm, martinis?" And I asked Husband what he thought it was. He said "making something out of nothing". I thought that was awesome. He specifically was referring to scalloped potatoes I'd made the week before. I think he thought I made the recipe up! lol Anyway, maybe I can start looking at some other things in Life like that. Like maybe I don't suck? In fact, I've always been super self conscious about my teeth. I call them my hillbilly teeth because they've got so many spaces. A friend said she thought they were cute. They made seem vulnerable and were just a part of me. She was complimenting me and it felt so nice because it wasn't "oh you've been working out and you look good" or "your new haircut looks good" it was something that was a part of me like height!

Happy Groundhogs Day!!!
Ahhh,, Groundhogs day! I felt so much pressure as a kid to root for seeing the shadow vs. not seeing. I could never keep it straight.
Did I ever tell you about the time in probably first or 2nd grade when we were doing our coloring. Let me go back further than that to see one of my very very earliest memories is of wanting to be a painter. Oh how I wished for talent to capture beauty. Sadly, in first or 2nd grade we were doing coloring /drawing. And I specfically remember the teacher (stop me if I told you this one!)holding up Sandy Tracy's drawing and declaring it the best in the class. For some reason,and I don't know if she insinuated this or I took what she said to mean everyone else should give up. This teacher was a little weird. She seriously once asked us to write ona piece of paper if we liked her or not!
Anyway, ever since then there's been a huge creative block for me. My aunt Mertice (prounounced Mer-tes) is an awesome watercolor/artist. I'll upload pictures of some of her prints soon.

SNOW!! Lots of snow!
It snowed here in Indiana. I'm so excited! Lots of it! Granddaughter has been here since MOnday night. She's at such a fun age. She's so happy. She's so tenderhearted though. If she even thinks you've raised your voice to her she just melts into tears. Luckily she's pretty good about minding us. We took her out into the snow and she liked just watching her BaBa (Grandpa) shovel it. oh she's such a blessing.
Anyway, I know I work from home but I'm so playing hooky this afternoon! ugh! I shouldn't be but oh well! This house is a wreck and I really want to finish the dollhouse. I'll post pictures soon of the snow.
