NEW Limited-Edition Mary Kay Pedicure Set

Picking up the crochet needle again.

I really need to finish all these half finished projects that I have packed away. I seem to take it in spells. Still a novice but I want to get better at it and maybe start working with thread. I love the look of doilies and bedspreads made with thread. Have a great day everybody!!!

Passing around the flu...

All 4 of us have had it. I did feel a little better on Thursday. Tyler called and just hearing my sons voice made things a little better. BEAST week this week. Say a prayer that he and all the young men and women training to serve and protect our country make it through the week ok. The only thing that worries me is the fact that he has bronchitis. But he still sounded upbeat. I can hardly wait for the AirMans run on Feb. 10. It will be the first time since Dec. 13 that I will be able to see him in person. I am so excited!!

It was a rough week. But I finally got to see Tyler. The pics really brightened my week and I am so grateful for the photographers doing as much as they can to make the family members happy. He's going into his 5th week. I am so proud of my first born. He was always such an amazing kid. But now, as I can see from the pics he is now an amazing man. We love you and miss you Tyler!

Feb. 11, 2011

I am very impatiently waiting for Tyler to graduate BMT. It's on Feb. 11. Allen is going to try to go but it may not work out. He can't miss more than a week of work. Especially since he's only been with the company for a few months. I knew I'd miss him terribly. He is my first born after all. But trying to adjust to one less person in the house has been more difficult than I thought it would be. The dogs are getting a lot of table scraps because I can't get it through my head I don't have to cook as much. I honestly didn't realize until he left just how much that boy could eat. I am so excited about the trip. My mom and step-dad are renting a car and we are driving to San Antonio from South Carolina. We're leaving on Monday so that we can take our time getting there and sight see on the way. I haven't had a vacation in years! And to get to spend time with mom is great! I can't wait!!!!!!

Typical Saturday Morning?

Managed to sleep till 6:30 with a lot of trouble this morning. I took a sleep aid about 8:30 last night and still woke up repeatedly. The funny thing is, after waking up around 5 and going back to sleep I actually dreamed about sleeping all the time. I think the boys are trying to really get to me. They woke up fighting. It may not be the best start to the weekend, but I am determined to make it better. I'm gonna sit down and write a letter to Tyler after I get the housework done and get Jamie and Micheal's mind on something else besides irritating each other and then I am going to try and catch up on a little reading. I hope that you all have a wonderful Saturday!

My Daddy's guitar.

I pulled out my Daddy's guitar this morning. It brings back so many memories for me. My son took lessons in HS but never really had an interest. I managed to pick out Mary Had A Little Lamb. Boy do my fingers hurt already. My dogs were watching me like I'd lost my mind!
