I am currently battling a sore throat as well as a upset stomach. My work situation has not been great. I find alot of people are not happy and it is dragging me down. I cant change my work situation though because I need the job. The hours and the weekends off and I generally like what I do. It is not rocket science but I enjoy it.

I am so looking forward to watching big brother this july! I love that show it is awesome :) I did miss though the entire season of house but I am going to catch up on that through tv dome.

My DD has 5 days of school left! Where did the year go????? Then my DS will start in Sept so crazy!!

I have lost my stitching mojo if anyone finds it please let me know. I think that it has to do with that I cant really concentrate lately. Maybe when DS is in school I can start it up again. I also think that it has to do with the weather. I dont want to hang out in the house as much anymore.

I love Nancy Grace but have such a hard time watching it lately. It always seems like the media gourges itself on bad news. Where are the feel good stories? Why do we have to constantly be fed news that make you want to curl up in a corner and cry your eyes out. YES there are bad stupid moronic people out there. Why remind us? This is the main reason why I dont want the news as much anymore.

True blood starts tonite can i get a whoot whoot!! Cant wait!!!

Well should run we are taking the kids to the midway today. Then off to our camp. Should be fun :) Have a great day everyone.......

THIS SUCKS!!! Poor Betty ditched again by that dumb Archie!!

Ben and I finally picked up a new water pump on Sat. We were going to buy it at kent because that was the cheapest place however we ended up going to a specialist.  Jims pump shop.  He sures knows about pumps.  He was a bit more expensive but Ben figures that if he has any questions he can always go back there whereas who would he talk to at kent?  We were kinda surprised though because when we went around pricing the pumps kent was the cheapest.  Usually Kent is the most expensive as it is owned by the irvings and you dont want to get ben started on the irvings.  He hates them.  LOL  

My daughter was asked to go to Nova Scotia parsboro, on Friday.  With much debate Ben and I agreed to let her go.  After she left I was strike by a bad case of nerves.  What have I done?  She is so little?  What if something happens?  Will she be lonely?  What if she fell?  Just on and on.  Finally I heard from her and the happiness in her voice put me at ease.  She was having a great time and would be home sunday afternoon.   My son sure missed her though.  His constant companion but Ben and I kept him busy.  Yesterday was major cleanup day here with laundry to be done and get started on cleaning out the kids rooms.  I have to keep asking myself how can 2 little kids gather so much clutter?  Is it me or my aunt???? 

I am so behind in my shows, I need to catch up on lost,prison break, survivor, nip tuck,ugly betty.  One show that I constantly watch on time is Greys anatomy and desperate housewives. The season finale blew my mind.  Poor izzy and George.  Not sure which one is coming back next year.  DH was awesome as usual.  All I can say is that Mike better have married susan not stick up her butt katherine!!  LOL  

Not much to report on the stitching front.  It just seems that I have not had the time lately to work on any of my projects.  I have to get my son ready for school and with all the housework and then my daughter is home from school and homework blah no time! I will have plenty of time when my son starts school.  I keep telling myself that.  

Anyways I should run and keep going at my daughters room.  We are repainting her walls and giving her a bit of a more grown up room.  Should be fun.....till next time....thanks for stopping in :) 

I am back.  My computer is running ok.   My honey found me a fan.  I am still planning to get another computer as I find this one has been running slow ever since the crash and then that virus attack that I had a couple of months ago.  

I am a aunt again!  My little sister gave birth to a boy a little after midnite May 10.  Nice gift for Mothers day eh?  That brings my total to 8 nephews and 2 neices.  :)  I sure wish though that I could have been there.  It is pretty hard to be so far away.  I am glad for the internet to keep in touch though.  

I am really bad with jumping projects.  I picked up another project that I had not finished a couple of months ago and I am working on getting that one done.  I will post a picture later today.  I am trying to justify in my head that easter is over so I can hold that project off!  I am so bad.  Now that I know the sex of the baby that my sister had.  I am going to head to micheals and buy a quilt to stitch  with winnie the pooh on it.  

I am still battling this cold that I caught last week.  It sucks.  LOL  

Well gotta run and get a few things done today.....till next time...thanks for stopping in...Oh mike your words that you sent me through facebook was really beautiful. Janice is sure lucky to have you. As my daughter likes to say YOU ROCK!!

The fan on my computer is currently giving me big problems.  I will not be on much untill i find a new one.  I dont want to over heat my hard drive.  Just a quick post to let you know where I am.

This is what I stitched up for my little girl.  Lately it has been her favorite saying!! 

Some old friends showed up on Monday.  It was nice to see them.  Lucy and Donnie.  I used to work with Lucy for quite a few years.  It is so weird how time seems to fly by.  I used to hate working at that place due to the work but I do miss the people.  I still talk with Mike alot.  He is pretty much the only one that I talk to.  Hopefully lucy will keep in touch.  She was telling me that she has not stitched in years.  She may be selling off her stuff and I have first dibs at her afghan material. I am almost completely out and I can not really afford to buy it from because you count.  My daughter found a chart that she liked and wanted me to stitch it up for her.  It is a quick stitch, I should be finished today and will post the picture.  It is really cute.  :)

My little guy goes to school today at noon.  He is doing this for the next 5 weeks.  It has been fun for him and he seems to enjoy it.   My daughter is doing good at school.  She had to have a eco project for earth day.  So she made a bird feeder out a chocolate milk carton.  It was really cute.  She is really into saving the enviroment.  She really cares which I find is rare for someone so young.  

More reno plans for this weekend include starting on the bathroom.  We also have to fix the bricks under the window in the front of the house.   Also on deck is to get more insulation for the attic and to tear the drywall out of the basement and put more insulation and then replace the drywall.  It will be a busy couple of months but it should be fun.  The best part is that each week we are using cash to buy the materials.  No credit card no credit line just cash.  Pay as you go.  If I have enough to do something I will, if not we wont.  No more running up debt.  :)   I refuse.   I hear stories of people going crazy doing renos and using credit lines and then having to pay for that new kitchen/bathroom/basement for the next 20 years.  Not me.......anyway got to run and get my guy ready for school.  Thanks for dropping in.....
