#Photoadayjuly Day 10

Day 10  My Favorite Color
Photo A Day Challenge July

My mother died almost 40 years ago, so Mother's Day doesn't exactly make me warm and fuzzy inside. It makes me sad, and a little cranky. To me, it's a big, showy, cards-and-flowers, home appliance sale kind of day.  It really pisses me off when I hear and see people disrespecting their moms.  I never had the opportunity to share things with my mom, I only have about 6 pictures of her and my few memories.   Even after so many years I still have a big hole i my heart.  BUT...I am truly blessed, as I have a wonderful husband, beautiful children and grandchildren and great friends and family, and the best damn mother-in law  (Charlene James) in the world.  I wrote this because there are many like me who aren't feeling the hype, and it's really just another day!!!!!

I have posted some of the creations I had time to create over the past few months.  Hopefully you will find a little inspiration in my pages.

Monday Musings

Hello I am back from never never land!  I am so sad that I have not been able to keep up my blog :(  Unfortunately my laptop died, I am using a loner right now and it has to be returned by Wednesday.  I want to end the year with a bang by posting to my blog at least once a week and when I get another laptop I will begain posting everyother day (or at least 3 days a week).  I hope everyone is having a great 3 day weekend......My DH cooked yesterday and we had friends over and today we have family coming over.  Did I mention my youngest daughter Theresa  is home for a visit!!  I have not seen her in 6 almost 7 months, so I am very excited to have her home

I have lost my creative mojo, but I have been getting these urges to pull out my crafting supplies and make something...I will let you know how that goes....

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY

FOR TODAY.......May 24, 2011


Outside my window...

It’s overcast but the sun is trying to shine through the clouds

I am thinking...

I really need to exercise, I’m tired of my own excuses!!!

I am thankful for...
Niyah my Granddaughter…She had her Pre K end of the year celebration and received her completion certificate she was so proud!!!

From the learning rooms...

Just finished a 2.5 hour training for some local OST teachers “Can you Paint Like Michaelangelo

From the kitchen...

What’s for lunch today? I forgot to pack!

I am wearing...

My comfortable shoes…because I had to stand and train for 2.5 hours

I am creating...

Visuals for one of my new trainings

I am going...

To look at houses sometime this week

I am reading...

“Who is my shelter” by Netta Jackson

I am hoping...

To find a new house SOON!

I am hearing...

Nothing, which is very strange…it seems as if no one is in the office today

Around the house...

Lots of boxes as we prepare to move

One of my favorite things...
Finding the time to scrapbook with my friends (which I got to do this past weekend)
A few plans for the rest of the week.....

I really need to get to the gym and start training for the half marathon in October and I am looking forward to my 3 day weekend.

Here is picture or thought I am sharing...Me at my desk (at work)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
