Head Start With Spring In The House

 

Want to get ahead start with spring flowers in the house?

Go out and clip your honeysuckle bush, stick them in some water and watch them bloom within a few days.

Ahhh Spring has arrived!!  ( I convince myself today by looking at these for it is bitter cold out and we are fast approaching April

And because we hit the park last week…

Intelligent Me

 

 

I DID IT….YES…I DID!

I may be crazy, and maybe the things that excite me, may not be what excites you.

I understand that you may be way ahead of me. I am ok with that. I am climbing the ladder of intelligence daily. Well, maybe more like weekly. Ok OK…to be honest maybe monthly.

But at least I am climbing!

For those who have known me through all of my life will understand that I would be excited.  I admit I haven’t always been the smartest but I have always been fun and that counts right?

I do believe that my excitement took me on a bunny trail and I haven’t even told all what excites me most today. So sorry to keep you in suspense…it’s nothing really, kinda embarrassed actually now that I have to write it.

But I did it!!!!!!

I, yes I alone sat down with my computer and said, “Computer, you and I are going to figure out how to use publisher today. I need your help in printing up some bread tags. ( I bake and sell whole wheat bread)”   Now, I have been printing tags for years but recently I started selling my bread as frozen dough for pizzas. I needed to write instructions on back of my bread tags. AND I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

I did not cheat and ask the man of the house for help.

Well, I did not cheat much, just a hair.

and only a hair. Do you know how little one piece of hair is? well, that is how little I cheated. So don’t even count it!

Here are my cute little bread tags…

Just looking at these cute tags makes you wanna buy bread from me right? hehe

Writer’s block

 

Today I write cause:  I’m having a terrible phase of writers block. (I have been told you must write even when there is nothing to say) So I guess we will talk about the block and see what comes of that.

There is just this block….

can’t get over it – it’s too high

can’t get under it – cause it’s too deep

can’t get around it – way to wide

sigh!!

but wait a minute…

this block looks very much like ice?

That means if it melts my block is gone right?

YES, YES, oh summer days please come quickly and rescue me that I might write once more!

As I stay stuck in the warm today I listen to JJ Heller on my Pandora and I am warmed in my heart. Music is good for the soul. It kinda just pulls it all together for me.

May you stay warm this day as together we wait for the sunny summery days!

The Bug

 

When I get rid of this bug I am gonna….I am gonna

eat cake

When I have strength to hold my kitchen broom I am going to…

houseclean this little abode until it glitters and sparkles with cleanness.

When I get over the dizziness in my head I am gonna…I say I am gonna

make my dreams come true.

When I get rid of this nasty bug I am gonna….

run a marathon

but until then I will sleep…I will sleep so the bug will have to die

I will not let that thing live one more day longer! He will have to go. He may not be about.

I will feed him nasty food and sip on tea all day.

I will stomp on him, I will squash him.

He will soon know he is not welcome here and must die.

Oh happy day that will be!!

What I got Done Today

 

somewhere today between:

- feeding the baby

- making tea for the man of the house

- getting plenty of water to my Sarah peach

- letting Nicky out to pee

- getting vitamin C water ready for the man of the house

- checking my mail

- changing Jeremiah’s diaper

- preparing dinner

- a memory game with Sarah (because that is what we do when we get sick around here, and might I add that I never win…i do try, I try very hard.)

- taking out trash

- opening another Kleenex box 

- a load of laundry

 

I actually had time for:

- blogging

- a good dose of skittles and then some sour patch kids

- a fast 20 minute walk ( getting out of the house was vital to my sanity )

and now my mind goes blank as to what else I did….i need sleep

oh yes, that is what I did….

- two short little 1/2 hour snoozes

 

pray for me -
