Greeting

Welcome!

These are the misadventures of a stay-at-home mom of two. Throw in a dog, a husband and homeschooling and it makes for one crazy day!

Projects....

 I have been wanting new curtains for my dinning room for a while. I don't have the money to spend on curtains so I made them. I took a bed skirt I got at the thrift store. I cut one side off. ( I cut about an inch into the middle so I could make the rod hole ) I sewed it and there you go. Done. I like it, it gives more light into the dark room.

Before

After :)

I made my kitchen curtains out of an old table cloth. It is amazing what you can do yourself if you just take the time to do it. Not sure what project will be next but I will let you know.

People?!

Today my husband took me to the hospital to get blood work done. I have a heart condition so I have a handicapped tag in my car. Someone was backing out of the spot and my husband had his signal on to take the spot. There was an older gentleman behind the car backing out who also wanted the spot. My husband was there first so the car backing out backed out so my husband could pull in. The older gentleman flipped off my husband for parking in the space! What is wrong with people. I get dirty looks all the time from old people who think I shouldn't have a tag. Here is what I have to say to them... Just because I don't look like I have a problem doesn't mean I don't. You don't know me, you don't know what I go through everyday. Next time you see me or some other young person parking in the handicapped spot say a little prayer for them. Stop judging people you don't even know. Unfortunately their health might be worse than yours.

Here is my plug for the day. Women please keep up with your health screenings and have your heart screenings as well. The life you save could be yours. Check out the following links and have a blessed day!

Out like a light.

I am so happy Spring has sprung. We went today and helped our friends get their garden ready to plant. Had a very good day of visiting with them to. I look forward to the vegetables I am going to get from my garden this year. I hope to can a lot of them for the winter. How about you? What are you planting in your garden?

My Hubby...


This is us at our senior prom in 1994

This is us now. We celebrated our 9th anniversary yesterday.
I look forward to many more with him. He is a great husband
and father. I could not have asked for a better man.
Thank you for letting me share with you today about my husband. I feel like the luckiest person alive. Hug your spouse today and let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you.

This is our song. Enjoy

Recital

Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for! Recital.....I have 4 costumes, makeup, hair, eyelashes and the list goes on. We are doing two shows so we are going to be there all day. I hope it will be fun. I am so proud of my little dancer (not so little anymore :(  ) She has informed me she wants to do a tap solo next year. I don't know if I am ready for that. We shall see. I will post pictures as soon as I get the chance.

Spring is here :)


This is my beautiful yard. You may recall my Spring Break pictures.
My family and I spent the whole weekend outside. It was wonderful.
                                     
We can finally use these things. I am so excited!!!

Fields are being plowed.

Flowers are in bloom. Make sure you take time with your family to enjoy
the outdoors. Stop and smell the tulips!

Recital....

We are quickly approaching recital day. Next Saturday to be exact. They are working really hard on the Thriller finale. It looks soooo awesome! Now I need to get her costume finished for it. Not really sure what to do. They are going to be great and I can't wait to see it. I will post pictures when I get them.
