It is a real challenge to try to get the kids in one picture! I had several attempts, LOL!
I spent time today cleaning up my office I got clear totes at Kmart to put my yarn and clth in so I can see. Still looking for a box for tree, it is too big for one at Wal-Maart which cost $30!

Friday Jan 6

It was warm here today, in the 60's I think, Julie brought me Seth and he and Charli were better though not getting along the best BECAUSE Charli had fell and scraped her knee and arm and was hobbling around, so funny. She actually let me put a bandage on it and thanks me ;). We took them to Crackerbarrel and Gina decided to join us and it was nice. Seth ate his whole pancake and a little bacon, Charli ate cheesy eggs, 3 pcs of bacon pancake and orange slice. They were good at the restaurant. At the end Charli got made Seth loved her brother =0). I took a video of her hobbling around, she milked it for everything even sitting on sofa for 2 hours!

OH AND I AM SO EXCITED! JEREMY FIGURED OUT HOW TO SEND TEXTS USING HIS WASHINGTON PHONE NUMBER! WE TEXTED BACK AND FORTH FOR A LONG TIME. We have been communicating more lately and that's great!

Jan 4, Nanny's birthday

Sitting here watching Clemson play WV at Orange Bowl, at 2nd quarter WV is winning 28-17. I just saw the best play I haveever seen, Clemson guy was down almost touching enzone and plied on and a WV player took the ball out of his hand running 99yd for a TD! That was impressive!
I thought of Nanny several times today, I really do miss her!
Kids were very good today, Charli watched Tangles as Ames slept then we plays on Nick Jr site coloring and playing games.
I still can't get my pictures off old computer yet :(

GAME ENDED wv 70 TO CLEMSON 33

Tuesday, January 3

I love being up late! I love to sleep in, too, LOL! We went a got Charli for about 4 hours and took her to library and watched videos and movie, had a really nice time, she told me over and over I was smart because I was explaining things to her and let her play FV. It was a nice day, very cold though, I think it stayed in the 30's!

Winter Vacation by Cathy K

I am starting to find my way around the Xara Photo & Graphic Designer and also found a free copy of very basic DIP so am making a couple pages and Les a Facebook Timeline page with Winter Vacation by Cathy K.
Once I get more familar with it it is an awesome program and can do so much!
The calendar stamp is by Lisete Scrap and is free on her blog

Gamecocks win Capital One Bowl!

A pretty good day, Charli came over and watched the game with me, she was in charge of the Carolina Teddy and danced her when we got points, after the first 2 point conversion she said "A bird's gotta do what a bird's gotta do" Well we won beating Nebraska 30 - 13. Julie brought Seth over and he popped Charli and I calmed her down then I sent her to get her scissors and he decided HE wanted to do it and started hitting her, I had to call Gina and get her to pick Charli up which I didn't like at all but she was with Nicole in the ER and he couldn't go in. I did manage to get them decorating gingerbread cookies which they looked.

A new year 1/1/12

I am actually posting this late but we had a nice day. Spent last night cuddling on the couch watching The Other Guys with Will Ferrel, Mark Warburg, and Michael Keaton (he sure is looking old)
Today Les helped cook breakfast at church then at 4 we went to Mema's to eat collards and peas. Julie, Seth, Tim, Suzan and Nicole wee tere. Gina's family went to Charlote. Les got the Blueray hooked up and I really like it, I guess I will watch more Netflix now!
Jeremy called while we were at church so we got to talk to him and even Bud got to say Hello! Poor Julie cried, she is missing him.

Spent today learning new poto program and organizing pictures, here is a picture of the kids on Ames new ride ;)
It was nice at family Christmas, Julie got sick and left early then Syvia and Bob came to Kathie's so no drama there!

Thusday Alexis and Jordon came over and made jewelry, Mya came too but she was sleepy and whiney. Friday Charli kept me company, had nice imes with all my girls!

We tried to take Seth and Charli to Crackerbarrel where I met Angela Pless to git her her Family tree she bought but Seth had a melt down and went to sleep in Les' arms. Charli is spending night but Julie came and got him, we will try again... I have sold several Family trees! thonk Lottie bought 4 or maybe 5, Angela, Jenifer Harding and I am making one for after Chritmas to send to my friend in England, Sue. Also Dana Gravely ordered 2 from me I need to get done. I had to order more of the connectors and it will be first of the year when they come in. I love eBay! They are $1.99 with free shipping. I have not taken any pictures of the kids yet!

Thursday 12/15

Got the $22 Sandy Guest sent me for her sister's gifts and made $25 with Les taking the jewelry to work, Lynda Williams bought them. Putting my family tree on facebook has brought lots of interest too, have 3 to make right now. This jewelry money has been great blessing.

Wednesday 12/14

Thanks to Twila Julie and Seth got here safely!
Dr H changed my heart medicine so I am going to try it to see if I feel better.
Also have 2 people wanting earrings from Facebook plus I got another order for Family tree pendant

I know yesterday's post was strange but there is a reason, a Krylon can exploded in my MIL's kitchen and they want to say it is her fault. I told them they needed to make it right and posted this picture, if they do not do right I will post the pictures on Facebook. I don't feel I have a lot of choice because she has a red ceiling, china cabinet and deck. we will wait and see.
I am excited Seth and Julie will be home. I have a doctor's appointment at 11:30, I am going to tell him I don't have the energy to do anything! I want to sleep so much and just doing laundry makes me so out of breath I just can't stand it!
I did finish an afghan for Noel's baby. Suzan is not going there for Christmas she is waiting until baby is born. Nic and Jennifer are adopting Matthew so Noel will have to move out by law. I pray she will stay in Kentucky and get her GED. It is so great Nic is doing this! Jennifer can't have more children and he does love them so much. I made her a red/black and white cat afghan and little red and white hat. They have Cat in the Hat theme for nursery and he asked me to make one but I already was almost finished when he asked, LOL!
I really need to finish putting gifts together I just do not feel like it! I really wish I could have some 'life'
OH, I GOT THE LETTER I GOT A RAISE! MY DISABILTY IS GOING UP $34 A MONTH!

Taken first of October

31 years tommorow

Les, Gina, the kids and I went to Red Lobster to celebrate our anniversary after church, I had a bad start to my day by dropping my Pepsi into my craft stuff as I was trying to leave for church, I still have a sticky mess in places, I guess I will get the Murphy Oil soap and clean the floor in the morning. Ames and I took a nap and played while Les, Charli and Gina went to see The Muppets, we had a pretty good time, he is hard to keep up with but so loving! Les goes back to work tomorrow, he still has really bad scabs on the scar down his spine, I pray he will be OK, he isn't wearing his brace as much as he should because it is rubbing those scabs and really getting it irritated. I need to call dentist in the morning because my filling fell out Thursday night and he was closed Friday. I guess I will let him do my crown.

Terrible day at the craft show, after paying for space I cleared $22 and Kathie cleared $2! I sold 5 pairs of earrings and 1 heating pad, Kathie sold 1 sock monkey! I need to post sock monkeys for her I guess... We were supposed to stay until 4 but I was home at 3:00

My little Pilgrim from the school festival ;)
I have posted 823 times since I started in 2007, pretty impressive, I think since I forget to do often! Right now I am in a very tired phase, I tend to stay up late and sleep in late and take a nap with Ames. I have crocheted a few gifts but have not worked on the jewelry I need to to finish for show Saturday! I hope we have a great turn out! I got the earrings from Lori's shop and plan to use that rack because Kathie takes up so much room and I can't remember where my card table is. She added some wreathes and has sock monkeys and glass vases so I guess I will cut down and let her have the space. I feel bad she loses money doing the shows with me! I could use the extra money right now so I pray I will sell a lot of earrings!
Les goes back to work Monday, I am sad in many ways, I like having him home!

I went to dentist yesterday to get filling fixed until I can get crown made in March, my tooth broke last Wednesday when I was eating cookie with Ames and the filling came out.

Saturday

Charli spent today with us and we went to breakfast at McDonald's and too her to the Alcoves which she liked then we decorated the tree and made some ornaments. I was happy the game was Carolina 34 to Clemson 13. I can't wait to see if Jeremy got to watch! I was so excited I found him a black sketch pad at Michael's! It was half price because I got him a watercolor pad, too. I must box it up for him, I am going to surprise him!
Mama kept Ames, I am sure she enjoyed it, I loved having Charli alone every once in awhile!

Slept until noon, that was nice on Black Friday, LOL! Les and I got the living room cleaned and got the tree in then ate at China garden went to Burkes where we got several clothes for the kids really cheap and I got a cute board to hand Charli's art, Gina will love it! We stopped by hobby Lobby, got a couple of things for tree.
