Christmas decorations

I finally got around to taking pictures of all my Christmas decorations. I know it is about time. LOL. The snowman was a gift, along with the navity scene. The other little knick knacks I bought. The ornaments on the tree are a little of everything. I hope everyone enjoys this. LOL. I had so much fun putting it all up. My next goal is to finish my tree skirt for the tree, as you can see I don't have one. Also to stitch a Christmas picture or scene for Christmas. It would be nice.

Things here are a little better this morning, with Ariel, she is still a little mad. But that is okay. I told her that I would rather her be mad, instead of her taking her IPOD to school, and it getting stolen again.

Update on life in general

I thought I would post an update on life in general around the Wall household. It has been very busy around here, partly because of Christmas, the other due to work, school, kids, and life.

Anyway, my oldest daughter had her IPOD stolen and it was returned, without the headphones, but that is okay. I can get her some more headphones. Right now she is a little ticked at me because she can't listen to hers, but I can listen to mine. She is making me feel guilty about it, and I am really tired of feeling guilty about everything that happens to her, and it isn't even my fault at all. I am sorry, but that is crazy. She took the IPOD to school after I told her that she couldn't so that is on her, at least that is my opinion. She doesn't see it that way, which is fine. One of these days something really bad is going to happen and she will have no one to blame but herself.

The teacher I work with took a leave of absence, and we aren't sure if she is coming back or not. She hasn't returned my phone calls, and it is really worrying me. I hope that she is okay, and that things are going well. I just wish she would call me and tell me that she is okay and what she is going to do. But I am not pushing her, or going to be a pain.

Christmas is here, almost. Two more weeks, and then a whole week for me to sit and stitch away. I am ready for this vacation. I know that the kids are. They are very excited about it and so am I. They want so much this year, that I think i will go broke. I think I am going to play a joke on my oldest daugher. I think I am going to buy her a lump of coal. I don't know if I should or not. But if I do, it will be for a joke. Of course, she may get offended, and angry, and my Christmas may be ruined, we will see.

I am hoping to start my own business, I didn't tell my boyfriend, because he would tell me I am stupid. The sub that is filling in for the teacher, has her own business, and she is going to sign me up, in hopefully a week or so. Well will see what happens, I am hoping that it works. I really would like to do it, so I can have money for me, and for the kids.

My update for this week

This has been a okay week, I guess. I have been stressing at work, but things are a little better, now that I have gone and talked to my boss.

This is a new update picture of Country Comforts. It is really coming along. I am very impressed with how fast I am stitching away on this. I may have page one finished sooner than I thought.

I put the rest of my Christmas decorations up today. I have cleaned the house, and now the only thing I have left to do is to do the laundry. I am going to hold off for about an hour or so to start that. I am just wore out now. LOL.

Next thing on my to do list is to start Christmas shopping which i haven't done yet. UGH!!!!! I am hoping to get to that this week or next week. We will see.

It is snowing here

It is snowing here. I am so excited. My snow dance paid off. LOL. Maybe we will get lucky and have tomorrow off, it would be nice, then I could sit and stitch for awhile. I need a break. I am just tired.

I am hoping that my working two jobs, going to school, and life, isn't taking its toll on me.

I didn't get to stitch tonight, but like I said I hope to tomorrow.

Stitching update

This is an update picture of a pattern that I started on it is called Country Comforts from Mystic Stitch. I did stitch on it last night, I will not get to stitch on it tonight, unless of course it snows like they say that it will. We are supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow. Let's hope. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I am really trying to understand

I am really trying hard to understand Frank's point of view on a lot of things around here, where it concerns me and the kids. My thing is why does he have to sound so cold about it. I know that he tells it like it is, and I respect that, but sometimes it is like he just doesn't care at all, about how it affects people. When he and I get arguing, we get on this subject, and I tell me that he just can't say one thing positive to me about anything in my life, and he tells me that it is because there isn't anything that is positive. That hurts alot. I guess the only thing I can do is try to change, even though that is what I am doing. I need to sit down and figure that out.

I am trying to get stuff going for school, but it seems to be one roadblock after another. Justin's dad isn't paying child support, and that makes it hard, and then there are just things like life. So it is hard. I hope that I can get this started really soon. I want my teaching degree, and would really think that it would make things better financially. We will see.

I went to get Ariel today from soccer practice, and I told her coach that Ariel was going home, because she didn't feel good. Ariel called me from school, and told me that she didn't feel good and that she felt like she was going to throw up. Well she doesn't eat at school. I know that the food isn't the greatest, but she needs to eat, so that she doesn't faint or whatever happens. She is very stubborn.

Well I am off to bed.

Awful start to the week

Well I toook Ariel to get our nails done, and didn't have anyone to sit with Miranda or Justin. So I told them that if they were good, then I would take them to the park. NOT!!!!!!!!!!! It was a nightmare. Justin wanted to go in the car, well instead of staying in the car, he decided to get out and run around the parking lot, I felt like the floor was going to swallow me up. I was so embrassed. I am never taking him again.

On a good note, we got our nails done, and now we are home, and I am going to sit and relax for the rest of the afternoon, until dinner time.

I think Frank is mad, because Ariel asked him for the money to go and get our nails done, and I know I was wrong in letting her. I should be shot for it. I told Ariel we weren't asking him for anything else, and if she did she was in trouble.

Ok, off to eat lunch and stitch
