Had a very full day yesterday! It was my brother's 42nd birthday so I went to my baby sister's and we had supper, she gave me all her beading supplies! She is organized like me so now I have several more boxes of all kids of beads to play with. I can't wait to get some of the pieces I ordered from eBay and make some jewelry!
Had to take MIL to bank, she is so weak she had to sit in the van and the lady came out to her for her to sign papers. Kathie as really looking feeble and old. It is very sad!
Also picked up several things at the consignment sale for Charli, some bathing suits and gowns and shorts mostly.

Very good day today, I volunteered to help set up the consignment sale the YMCA is having, that was fun. Lots of cute things for Charli! I plan on going back. Les got my front flower gardens tilled today, Charli doesn't like the noise so she sat with Jeff across the yard. Les sold his trailer today, we sure needed the money and that's one out of the yard!

My brother took this for me yesterday before I shot the wedding. I made more doing this one that I ever have and I didn't quote a price, I had volunteered to take some shots because she had a friend taking them, too, but I ended up the main photographer and am working on the book for them. The pictures did turn out well.
I have felt pretty good. Sitting at the computer lately my right side hurts but I just take Tylenol and go lay on my electric blanket.My biggest problem is staying hydrated, am drinking mostly water, eating way to many Life Saver gummies, too. Food Lion put them on sale and they sure taste good!
Sunday School went pretty good, There were 1 of us which was up from 5 or 6 last week. No one I sent cards too came but that's OK, I will grow that class. It will just take time. I am bidding on the book on Ebay and pray I will get a copy! That way any one wants to read it can. It is Five Love Languages and is a great book!

I am very tired today, the last 3 nights I couldn't take anything for sleep and had to make myself get up every 2 hours and so gotten very little sleep. Just too tires to play on the computer so no farming now, am going to read and go to bed although I have laid around all day, thank godness Charli is a good girl! I am also blessed she is Potty Trained!

Here are the cards Charli and I have done, she gave the card to her Daddy for his Birthday. We have 2 special birthdays today, Trey turned 26 today and my nephew Cody's is today, too.

Today when Charli woke up from her nap she looked at me with that sweet face and said, "Give me a Hug!" and gave me a big hug. That made my day!

After church Les was called to his Mom's room at the hospital so he is up there now, I am chilly and think I am going on to bed.

Here's the picture from yesterday at the library.
Had a great day and got a lot done, Charli and I made cards, got laundry done, 5 weeks of Sunday School lessons done and printed, had a lot of energy and was not that tired. Ate with Gina after we went to Wal-Mart. Les is going in at 6:45 and I have to get up and take him so I can work an hour or so. Now going to bed.

I am not going to post a picture because I am too tired to get my camera but it has been a good day.
We met Gina and Charli at the library for Toddler time and she did great! I want her to understand the circle time concept and she was friendly and interactive with the children and Miss Dana.
I sold 3 pairs of earrings today, even if my Mom bought 2, LOL! then had my Cytoxan, it took longer today because the RX was so slow. It was almost 4 hours.
Kathie is still in the hospital and they are going to stretch her esophagus tomorrow thinking she is taking fluids in her lungs causing bacteria. We are having a lot of drama with Les's sister, I will not say more.
I am thinking about going on to bed, I have to start the getting up every two hours to potty thing...

We had a cake walk at church today, I made a suncatcher and Jada won it, she was proud. I also made these earrings and sold them.
Here is my good friend Sheila outside the church.
My Chemo is tomorrow at 1:15.

Watch Me Grow Cards

I needed a couple of Thank You cards so I decided to use the Watch Me Grow Collab kit from Connie Prince and Project B Designs, I think they turned out rather pretty!

Yesterday DEVO was on YoGabbaGabba and I called Jeff to watch with Charli and me. It came on a second time and when the group came on Charli called "UNCLE JEFF!" he was not there but I thought how Smart that was that she remembered and knew he watched it with us!

Les, Charli and I went with Mema to O'Charley's for lunch today. She is going to add a line to our plan to save that $$ every month. She dropped her internet and is trying to shave what she can off her expenses. Suzan came by just before we left. She made over how she was praying for me and tried to seem concerned...
Anyway I worked about an hour and a half and got the mailboxes straight, I am going in next Wednesday to take pictures for St. Patty's Day.

Charli and I are reading this book and talking about caterpillars and butterflies, this wee we are going to do more crafts I have planned. This will be Fun!

Today I went with Gina and Charli and I got to see her baby! She decided to go ahead and have an ultrasound to make her feel better after having lost the last baby. She doesn't want to make a big announcement so if anything happens she won't have to talk about it. She will be 9 weeks tomorrow, due Oct. 12.
Now Charli had problems at first, she freaked to go into the office to update info so I had to take her out in the hall. She Really wanted to leave that place and tried to slip out the door, LOL!
At first she would not stay in the room and wanted to go but I told her we could not leave Mommy and then the power blinked, the fire alarm went off and Gina had to wait for the machine to come back up and I got Charli back into the room and started reading I Wish I Had Duckfeet (one of my favorite books) and she was much better and we saw the baby on the "TV"
It was so cool! I could plainly see the head and spine and 'he' turned his face so I could see the eyesockets and nose hole. Right now the fingers are only tiny stumbs but there is a baby there, I don't know how people think any other way!

Just sitting here getting ready to go to bed but putting it off. I finally made a couple of cards but need to make 3 more, maybe tomorrow... got a couple of errands to do and then will plan on it.
I still keep thinking about the sweet words Jeremy wrote on my Facebook yesterday, I saved a copy of the email just to read over and over.
After church I went to Gina's and she rented Where the Wild Things Are for my while She and Trey went to see Alice in the Wonderland. I was so hoping Charli would nap and she was close until the movie came on and then she Had to watch, LOL! She thought the creatures were great and just cackled when they had the dirt fight and a couple of other scenes. She is definitely Gina's child! I really enjoyed the movie and want to watch it again!

Goodbye Scrubs!

It was kind of sad taking my scrubs to give to Miss Martha today when I went to training. I kept a couple and the jackets but thought she would enjoy them and I am decluttering my life, so that was best!

Today I was coughing and Charli gave me my water and said, "Drink water, Meme" I thought that was so Sweet!
I am so amazed at her with her potty training! Today when I brought her home she gave in and told me she had stinkied in her diaper and she sat and pottied. She them put her panties on and went 5 or 6 times staying dry all day! She even sat up from her nap and said she had to go. I have trained dozens of kids and she is one of the top 3 in how easy she is!
She even feels it and grabs herself and starts going to the potty!
We had a good day today playing play dough, using a glue stick, dancing to 80's music and playing puppets.

These were gifts I got from my boss and a parent when I left my class last week! The top one is from my boss. I am waiting for the warmer weather next week to get them hung!

Got a lot done today, cleaned my dresser, my cedar chest and my closet out. I called Les to bring me boxes but he forgot Twice. I am giving my scrubs to a lady at work and have a lot of 'plain' socks to give to the ladies at the local rehab. I only had Charli for an hour and a half so got to work on my room.

Making Butterflies

Today was very different. I went in work for 15 minutes and Gina dropped Charli by and after doing some errands we came home where she took a nap and we worked on our first painting project.
It also snowed today, very pretty but didn't cover the ground all over.
Charli is doing so well potty training! The only diaper wet was from where we were in the car getting things done. She enjoys wearing her panties and likes the Potty Jar!

I am not going to post a picture today, I have some to download from my camera but I am a little tired, I am almost done with our Playroom.

Today has been a good day, Gina took me to IHOP and Charli went to the potty before we went and after she got up from nap, Gina said tonight she was laying watching TV and saying something, she said "Make Meme feel better, A-Men" Now isn't that precious! We have prayed together a few times like that and she hears prayers at church and Gina talks to her about Jesus.

Today went well at SSI. Ms. Kirkland had twins that used to go to the daycare so we had a bond. Now to wait 3 to 6 months....

Melissa gave me a bird feeder and Les and Jeff painted my birdbath. It looks great! I worked 45 minutes getting my stuff out and will work a few minutes tom.

Count your Blessings

After church Kathie, Gina and Charli, Les and I ate Chinese and then Kathie and I spent time together at Family Dollar. I am thankful we had this time together, Suzan has not come to the house and Nicole and the kids were not there for the weekend so it was wonderful. Charli was a little lady at the restaurant, too.

It Sunday School we talked about attitude and I told them, I have a disease but this disease does Not have me! I go to see about my SSDI in the morning and with God's help I will get it quickly, and I have a huge opportunity to use my Daycare training and help Charli advance over other two-year olds. I think that is quite a big blessing!

This is Trey's Dad's new tractor, he is feeling very weak from his chemo and is hoping a project will help him to feel better.
I have accomplished a whole lot today. I am having to reorganize my office so I can get the things from Daycare in there too. I am at least half way done. By Tuesday Charli will be amazed at our new Playroom!
Oh, I did get my day out and went yard saling and to the scrapbook store and most places I wanted too!

Charli and I did our first craft project today, we made this necklace, she followed directions and gave me the beads I asked for and when we were done she put the beads back into the jar. Very good small motor skills for a two-year old. Crafters are made not born, LOL! I also told her about patterns. This what the high light of my day!

Now for my other things, LOL! I had to have Les at work 7:45 and got to the doctor for my blood tests a little after 8 and then to pick up Charli so I could be at work at 11 BUT my boss had left me a note on Facebook about 8:30 NOT to come it. Of course I was doing what I had to do INCLUDING getting aggravated because my air portable tank decided to freeze and not work.
OK, I did get 30 minutes of pay and one of my former parents gave me a GORGEOUS humming bird feeder and a $20 GC to the scrapbooking store.
I thought I would get to go "Junkin'" and to the LSS to spend my GC and do a couple of errands but the tank was pulsing and going crazy and I can't get Charli in and out of the seat I have easily so I was in a pretty fowl mood and I was starving!
Gary came and replaced my Big tank which had leaked out since Monday and the frozen tank PLUS he gave me a small backup tank of regular oxygen.
My Mom also went and got me some soup from O'Charleys so I feel much better now!
