Big Black Horse & a Cherry Tree



Yesterday was Brian's first day *not* working & I'm not so sure I like it. I can't just slack off and sleep all day like I used (or so he thought) :) I actually have to do stuff because he's around with his judgemental eyes on me LOL No, really, yesterday was one of the busiest days I've had in a while and I fill my lungs with air and say...

I got up at 7 am and took a shower, made Em's lunch, quickly drank a cup of coffee, woke Will up with his miwk at 7:30, watched the Today show Olympic update for about 10 minutes, made Will's breakfast, got him dressed, fixed his hair b/c it was crrrrraazzzyyy!, brushed his teeth, and did the same for myself, got ourselves ready to walk out the door, drove Will to preschool, drove Em to middle school, went to my sister's for pancakes, came home and did dishes, cleaned the bathroom, checked my email, facebooked for only about 5 minutes :( drove back to get Will, came home and fixed lunch (fastest I've ever eaten a bowl of chili ever!) drove to the church for a 2 hour meeting where I became the assistant leader of the Photography Team YEAH!, came home and cleaned up around the house that got destroyed in those 2 hours, finished folding laundry, tripped over the cat, framed Will's cherry tree that he painted on his first day of preschool, left to go get Em from school and made some phone calls on the way, when we returned home I yelled at the kids for awhile and barked orders at them :)then I helped Brian for the next 4 hours update his resume and apply online to 3 or 4 jobs at the railroad while I heated up and made dinner, got Will his miwk and read him a SpongeBob book, wrote some emails concerning my 2 hour meeting at church, chatted on facebook with someone who is more knowledgeable than me concerning cameras, took a shower and collapsed in bed at 12:30 am.

And this morning, when Brian and I were *both* taking *both* kids to school he sarcastically said we should do everything and go everywhere together everyday, honey. A few seconds passed and from the backseat we heard Will say "B-O-R-I-N-G!" lol

And now I am here at the diningroom table *again* job hunting with my hubby and filing out online apps. Fun fun.

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 ...

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...
