So far 2009....

Has been quite the sucky year. Found out some bad news, can't really say much on that. Not my place too. Things have broken, kids are being kids and getting in trouble. Can we just fast forward to summer, I'd be so much happier!

The dryer broke. Worked great one day, the next I went down there and nothing! So I went without one for a few days until my cousin's hubby could come look at it. In the mean time we tear the dang thing apart. Check all the wires, and everything looks fine. Plus I'm having to 1800's things and hang clothes up all over the house. It's looking like a department store in here. So Steve(cousin's hubby) finds that we blew a breaker. So I get a new one. He hooks it up and I start drying a load! YAY I can do laundry again! Well, an hour and a half later, the load is still not dry and it's not hot. The dang heating element went out too! So it was back to the 1800's til today. That's when the part will be in and I can have my dryer back. If something else goes wrong with it I'm going to Wonder Woman the damn thing out the door!

Then the vacuum had been acting up again. Last time it was the belt, easy fix. This time it was just spitting dirt back at me. After I got done vacuuming it felt like I had been going down a gravel road pulled behind a truck. So I stopped using it and started using the stick vac. BAWWAAWWWAAA That was fun! Not really. So last night Micah looks at it and the dang hose it clogged up. We spend about an hour getting the dang thing free of crap. So now it works fine and I can vacuum for real.

If one more thing stops working I am going to flip out!

Freakin out!

Some of my friends from the internet sent Christmas cards this year. Well, most of us have been doing it for 3 years now, since our 3 year olds were born. Well, Saige became attached to Gracie's family card. (Might be that Gracie sent her a Christmas present too.) So she asks to see the card almost daily. Yesterday she asked to see it and I got it down and she went to her room. No big deal. Well I'm on the computer and she comes to me and says, "Momma, I am freakin!" I giggled, cause that is like the first time I heard that come out of her mouth and said, "Why you freakin?" So she drags me to her room and points to the TV and says Grace is in there.

Ok that got me freakin. LOL So I ask her and eventually I understood that the picture was in there. Wheeww I really didn't want to be in Poltergist or anything. So then I get a flashlight and I'm looking and it's no where in there. It must have gotten shoved way in the back when she closed it. She told me she wanted to see Gracie on the TV. Makes since to a 3 year old I guess....She is calling Gracie on her phone saying sorry and can I get another one. So I had to ask my friend if I could get another "Gracie picture".

New Year!

I'm thinking one of my resolutions for this year will be to post on here more. I'm slackin.

I have started the Project 365. It is a picture a day for the next year. I hope I keep up with it and don't slack on that. So far so good, but I have only done two days. :) It's just trying to think or see ideas. Kinda hard. But I think I will muddle through it. Should be interesting this time next year looking at all the pictures and remembering this year then.

Christmas was, well busy. Last minute shopping, wrapping, making. I made memo boards this year for some. They seemed to like them. The girls want one now too. So I guess I ain't done with making those yet. I think I want one too, in my newly, painted red kitchen. I love it! Love it! I just sit in here and look at the walls and smile. I know, doesn't take much to make me happy.

Well I guess I'm off to find something interesting for Day 3 on the 365 Project. :)
