I think I will have a dairy farmer in the family

These are some of the pictures from the field trip yesterday. I definitely think he really loved the dairy farm. So maybe he is going to be a farmer. He had so much fun. He had so much fun petting the calf. I have to say he did pretty good. He played a bunch of games and won every one of them. It was just to cute.

I just wanted you all to see. Have a good day.

Stitching update and update on life

Here I am! LOL. I have just been so wiped. But things here are going well. Sorry I haven't posted I just wanted to relax and kind of vegetate for awhile. I needed it.

I haven't done much stitching, but I did last night. It wasn't enough to take a picture of it, but that is okay. I am going to make sure I get a picture taken this week. I am going to start rotation again. I am going to rotate between Bed and Breakfast and then another Mystic that is called Season's Greetings, but I am going to wait until tomorrow night to start on it. I have set a goal to finish the first three pages. I did pretty good with the last goal that I had like that for Country Comforts. I need to work on that one also. It has become a UFO. I don't know how that happened, but I think it did when I started working on Bed and Breakfast for my father. I just need to learn to rotate and keep to it. So I am going to set a UFO week up for myself and work on it and on Rose Garden. I want to get that finished also. I need some finishes here.

Ariel my oldest daughter tried out for cheerleading at her high school, and she made it. I was so happy for her, that she and I were both crying. The only problem is that it is so darn expensive. She needs $290.00 by May 28th. I thought I would pass out. I am going to try and get it for her. She is so psyched about it, that I want her to do well, and I don't want to let her down.

Miranda is doing well, she made the honor roll at her school, she was so excited. I told her it should feel good all the studying that she does.

Justin is going on a field trip to a farm today, we get to watch cows being milked. Not my favorite thing in the world, but he is excited, only because Mommy is going and his class is going at the same time.

I will have pictures of that for everyone later tonight. Now I am off to work and field trip. Have a good day all.

Stitching update May 4

It has been a while since I posted a picture, and I know I promised, sorry it has taken me so long to get one taken. But here it is. It is really looking nice. I have the first page completed and am working on the second page now. I am thrilled with its progress.

I am so enjoying stitching this. I really am thrilled with this.

Everything is going better here. I feel more relaxed and am catching up on my stitching.

I am going to go to the community college instead of the college that I was going to. I think it will be a little bit better than where I was going. We will see.

Well off to get some more stitching done on Bed abd Breakfast.

My update

Well here we are again, no stitching progress pictures. I am sorry. I will have one tomorrow. I did finish the first page of Bed and Breakfast tonight. It is really looking nice.

I just want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments and support about college. I have decided to take a semester off, and get back on track. I didn't want to do this, but I needed to, for personal reasons. Mainly I just felt like I was being pulled in so many different directions.

Topping that off I got into a little depression over something so minor that I felt like I just wanted to unsub from all my groups. I had a pity party for myself, but I do feel so much better. Thanks to some good stitching friends. You all are the best.

Not only am I taking the semester off, I am going to enroll into another college in the summer, and go from there. The college that I am attending right now, does not have the best instructors in the world, so I am going to the local community college. I have really thought long and hard about this so I feel 100% better.

Right now I am focusing on myself and my kids, and my stitching. I think that will help me a whole lot.

Sorry for the blah post, and vent.

Well I am off to bed, and will post pictures of Bed and Breakfast.

Weekly update



Good morning! Well this is Bed and Breakfast as of the 10th. I am so pleased with it. It is coming along. It is about 7 percent done, I can't show that on my percent bars, so it is still showing 5 percent, but it is coming along.

Today I am going to clean the house, and then sit and stitch and vegetate all afternoon. I think I need it. It has been a long week here.

I will bring you up to speed. Well I have been fighting with the management of my apartment complex for about two months, that I didn't owe them any back rent, when they said that I did. Well after going rounds with them, and my attorney, they told my attorney on Thursday night, that they were going to dismiss the case yesterday in court. Well I was so happy, but...... they only way that she would have it dismissed is if I showed up in court yesterday, if I didn't show up, I was going to have to pay the money that she claimed I owed. Well I was not very happy. Nonetheless, I went to court, and it was dismissed, and I don't owe them anything, which I didn't in the first place. I was so stressed, that I had a bad pain in the side of my neck for a whole week.

I am still going to look for another place, I am trying to find a house with at least 4 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms with a den, so that I can have the den or last bedroom for a craft room/office. It would be so nice. My parents have been asking any friends to look and keep them informed.

On the home front besides all that, things are going well. I didn't go to all my classes last week, due to all the drama with the management, but that is okay, my professors were very understanding.

Now today I am stitching and enjoying myself. I am trying to decide if I want to do a movie marathon or what I want to do. That part is still up in the air. We will see. Right now the kids are watching cartoons, and I will stitch and listen to my IPOD.

That is all for now, off to stitch.

Stitching update April 7

Well another week has gone by, and off to work today. It has been a busy week, but a good one. My oldest will be 15 tomorrow, she is so excited about it. I am sort of. I can't believe she will be 15. She is growing up so much. We had her party yesterday, but no pictures. She blew out the candles to fast for me to get a picture. But that is okay, she had a good day.

Stitching wise, I did work on a bit of Bed and Breakfast. I think this will be the last week, I work on this. I need to work on Country Comforts next week. I am missing my quilts. LOL. But they are both looking nice, and I am excited about doing this one for my dad. He asked me yesterday what I was stitching, I had to fib and tell him something else. He has no idea that Bed and Breakfast is for him, and I forgot to hide it.

I think he will love it.

Other than that, just another week, and off to work and college, and all that good stuff. I will be off next Friday, so I can sit and relax, before going to my all day scrapbooking crop on the 19th. I can't wiat, one day away from the kids. It will be so nice. lol. I am bad.

Well time to fix the kids some breakfast. Have a wonderful day.

Bed and Breakfast April 3

Sorry that the picture is a little blurry. My son was asleep on the couch and I didn't want to wake him up by turning on the light.

This is as of last night, it is really looking like a picture. I can't wait to see what it looks like after tonight.

Not a whole lot going on here, just trying to relax. I didn't go to class last night, I was just tired and wanted to relax and take a break, so I stayed home.

I am still looking for another apartment, that is tedious in itself, but I am not going to stop until I find one.

Other than that it is really quiet here. Not a whole lot more to report today.
