Just a bunch of words on a page

Well, no pictures to show (that I am allowed to share anyway)......so this post is just a bunch of words on a page.  If you read it thats great, and I thank you for that.

Many many thoughts going through my head lately.  I enjoy reading articles on CNN, but lately I'm sickened for our world.  What kind of person can inflict such pain and heartbreak upon an innocent person?  Why do people hurt others?  Is it really impossible to live in harmony with one another?  I just don't understand what goes through peoples minds anymore.  Rape, Murder, Theft, Shootings, War.......the news is just filled with such stories.  This worries me.  I worry what the world is going to be like for my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren...............and I wonder if there will even be a world left? We are slowly killing this planet we live on and it saddens me. 

Well.....off my soapbox I suppose.  LOL

So.............we are in the home buying process.  Our preapproval is done and we are approved for WAY more than we want to spend, but its nice to be able to have some wiggle room.  Tomorrow we're going to take some time and look at a couple of houses.  I'm looking for boxes wherever I can and am planning on packing as much stuff up as I can so there is no last minute packing.  We currently live in a 3 bedroom house and the third bedroom is for my step-son, but since he lives with his mother and is only here on occasional weekends, his room has been designated for the boxes and items we've already packed.  Thats the plan anyway.  Tomorrow my plan is to get up early and get some cleaning done.  I'm also getting rid of things that we dont need to keep.  If I havne't seen it in gosh knows how long, I'm pretty sure we don't need to keep it.

Brandon is going to have to start seeing a psychologist.  We had some medical issues with him and going #2 on the potty.  He ended up being backed up into his large intestine.  So he takes a daily dose of Miralax to keep him regular.  Now we're struggling to get him to go on his own, to which he tells us he's too scared.  So now we're going to just suck it up and get him to a psychologist to help us work through the issues.

Well, thats all I have for now. 

Even though its officially "spring", we're expecting 6-8 inches of snow Sunday.  UGH

One more for the road

Oops.......I did it again!!

Sorry, I have been busy stitching models and haven't spent hardley ANY time online. Sadly this also meant I haven't done any blog posting either! I am currently posting this from my cell phone so I apologize for any spelling andl/or grammatical errors!!!

Some more stitching updates:

These are two round robins I participated in; (not sure where they will show up in the post) I will do a separate post for models that have been released!

So.....here is what has been going on with me and my family.

I officially went back to school. Only 16 years after I graduates High School. I will be obtaining my Bachelors Degree in Health Services Management. This is actually a perfect degree for me as I currently work for Aetna (medical insurance) and love the industry. I have been working in this industry for 14 years and have no plans to leave it, I just want to enhance my skills.

My husband and I have been prequalified to buy a home!!!! We are in the process of lookingfor our new forever home. So far we have not found the home that we plan to buy but we will keep looking. We have agreed that if we don't find the home we want now we will wait a couple months and look again. Just knowing we are approved is so thrilling.

Have you ever been friends with someone for YEARS and been totally crushed by their actions??? Heartbreak is a way to describe it I suppose. To explain:  I have been friends with on individual for over 10 years. Considered this person to be my best friend. Was there for me through my first marriage and divorce; the birth of my son; my second marriage.........and all of the stuff in between. And I was always there too, no matter the day or time (and those middle of the night calls did happen). My sons birthday party in September, it was confirmed she would be there 2 weeks before the party. The day of, I get a call that she was to busy camping. In September (weekend of my birthday actually) I got a call and this individual made plans to come out for the day and do some stuff together. That day came and went.....no call, no text....just never showed. My birthday came and went without a WORD (i have never forgotten theirs). I was upset, but not much I.could do about it. So....I moved on.with my life and waited for her to call. It's now 5 months later, still no word. My breaking point came last weekend when I found out she had taken 3 days off work to celebrate her "best friends" birthday. In and out if bars all weekend. I am done being forgotten. Am I overreacting?? Maybe. But.....I have decided if you can't make.some effort, its not worth my time.

The "Situation"

Well.....since I'm not allowed to call it by name......I received a communication via mail about the previously mentioned "situation".  With the project back and a partial payment. 

At this point I'm done with it all.................I just don't want to deal with it anymore!!!!!  Because in the end, is it really worth it?  I'll let Karma be the deciding factor. 



On to other things, its a cold day here in Ohio.  We got about an inch and a half to two inches of snow.  Not much, but it sure looks pretty!!!! 



The flu seems to be going around, here's knocking on wood that no one in my family gets it. 



So most know that I stitch for Aury of AuryTM Designs.  This year is her first trip to market in Nashville and I wish her the best of luck.  I know everyone will love her designs as much as I do!!!!!
