No wait...THIS is sad :(


I am sitting here after a 3 HOUR! nap reading the blogs I follow and ALL 3 of my closest peeps' blogs were about their kid. 2 of which were about 17-18 month old kids who were in the stages of jibberish blabbering...and I got to thinking...I TOTALLY MISS THAT STAGE! I wasn't blogging at that time in Will's life so I can't really remember the sound of his jibberish without bustin' out the video tapes. These 2 blogs were letters directly to their children...maybe I don't do that b/c Will and I CAN actually have a conversation and by the time I sit down to blog I am exhausted from numerous talks with him. But I'm gonna give it a whirl!


Dear Will,

Right now MawMaw just got up from a 3 hour nap and you were so quiet and just played on the computer the entire time. I only heard you make a few sounds which included things blowing up and guns shooting but it was all virtual and no one really got hurt. I clapped loudly when I woke up so you would come in and check out what that noise was and BOO! I sat up and screamed and you screamed too and then you took my phone and ran back to the computer laughing all the way. I made you a peanut butter and jelly and you didn't want that. You said you were ready for dessert. Where do these lines come from anyway?? iCarly? Fanboy & ChumChum? Spongebob? Probably. Anywho, you ate it on your tray in front of Dora and then proceeded to throw your tray around the living room and then hide behind it like some Army soldier and then popped up periodically to shoot me. Now you are playing your new Cars game on Playstation. I am amazed at how you can turn on all the right buttons and channels and hook up everything and it works. I get confused if I am at someone's house and they have more than 2 remotes.

At this stage in your life you are obsessed with cellphones and hotwheels and you WANT everything. I have even stopped taking you grocery shopping with me to avoid the meltdowns and potential beatings that may occur from asking for everything. But, honestly, I don't think you even notice that it's been WEEKS since you've been to "Wool-mart." Also, you have started saying "I'm bored" at random times and everytime you say it, it totally throws me off guard. What 4 y.o. Says That!! Oh and you are NOT liking your room at all. You want an orange one. It doesn't surprise me b/c your favorite color is orange but...I really hate painting, but will do it for you Stinky. You cry everynight and want me to sleep with you but you refuse to nap with me when it means daylights-a-burnin'. Although I know this is a terrible habit to get into, I can't help eating it up b/c I seriously have to force you to hug me or give me smooches; but, something magical happens when the sun goes down...I don't turn from this princess to an ogre or anything but you, all the sudden, get all schmoopy on me and I LOVE IT!

Well, right now, you informed me that you are "bored" which I know is a lie but I do feel sorta guilty being on the computer any longer...actually, I need to get off here b/c you have stolen my "lenses" and I'm getting a headache. But I love you and all your selfishness, violence and independence. I just hope you remember as you grow older that you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you or steal their glasses. Love, MawMaw

Day 11 Sitting with Myself 1 of 2. Length: 1 hour

 I own a small, predominantly online handcrafted jewelry business. I have been in business 3 years, 5 months & 2 days - exactly the same amount of time that I've been sober because I am an alcoholic. I'd like to think my success in both of those areas are directly linked. I stay sober by making jewelry. Successfully selling jewelry keeps me from drinking. But what if sales decrease or straight up end? Would I drink again? I drop new jewelry on my website every Friday at 9am est. It is 11:30 and I have zero sales. In all the years in business, that has NEVER happened on a drop day. It's depressing. I've watched sales steadily decline over the past few months, often daydreaming about the what if's and the why's. Is it our declining economy? Is it crappy designs? It is me? Recently it was brought to my attention that I offended and upset one of my long-time, consistently supportive customers. I noticed that she hadn't placed an order in several weeks. I was...

Food 4 Thought

So I sit on my computer at 12:30 am, and wonder, yet again, what to blog about...I feel like my blog is lame and needs some sort of "theme." Why do I feel like I can't just write what I want?? so ~same bat time, same bat channel~ This past weekend has been ROUGH!! Brian is not working and his schedule just isnt vibing with me! I mean, there is no time to chill and think or veg out. It's go go go all the time. I did hear him say a few times this weekend that this is the busiest he's been in forever. So thank the Lord for that b/c today when I got home from volunteering at the church I was all "I'm napping."----- like end of story, not a question. And NAP I DID! I slept for over 4 hours!! GOOD LORD! I can't remember the last time I did that! Anywho, it was fabulous. But I'm pretty sure that I love *food* more than sleep. This has been a smorgasbord of food since our...um...tax return and I'm LOVING IT!! Friday was Doc Pierce's Saloon...

Just a Little Cat Pee

My husband and I leave our Song of Solomon marriage class lastnight feeling oh-so-romantic, because that was the topic...and feelin' all warm and fuzzy. I'm thinking: I hope the kids are asleep when we get home (if you know what I mean...). As we walk in the door, our 4 year old comes out with a big "Mawmaw you're HOME!" Apparently, bumpin' and grindin' isn't on the menu AND THEN... I look over and our youngest cat is pissing on the counter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH?! I know I didn't buy litter at the store yesterday but SERIOUSLY?! ONE DAY LATE in changing the litter?! COME ON!! You see, my husband is very anal about the litter box. He scoops it everyday and changes the litter entirely every week, like clockwork. Well, Walmart was out of the little bags of litter that I normally buy AND with my still- jacked-up shoulder, I can't lift the 40 lb. bags of litter; so, I just didn't buy any...I thought what's the big deal...Brian can get some ...
