Can I Go And Play Now?

I got all of my chores done.......well, the ones that I needed to get done today, and I feel o.k. today. So, can I go play now? A walk, a trip downtown, a trip to the coffee place, a trip SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE! I need to get out of this chair and out of the house. Doesn't matter that it is pouring rain and I can only find my sandals. I just need to get out! Gonna bundle up the boy and hit the road. See you all after my adventure!

peanut butter and celery

Best snack ever! I used to hate to make it when I worked with the kids at the center. I would get peanut butter everywhere and smell like it all day long. It was quite a chore to make for twenty something kids. Now I can make it at my leisure and just sit and enjoy the whole thing without smelling like peanut butter all day. I have come to depend on peanut butter to sustain me through the day. It used to be bread and things like that but now I just want peanut butter! The celery is an added bonus, it's crunchy goes with the gooey and it's just perfect! I am going to go make some more!

A Nice Long Walk

We took a nice long walk through the fields behind our house today. It was surprisingly warm today, in the 70's and beautiful. We spyed lots of pretty birds, dandelions, berry brambles, two horses, and many, many other things. I hope it helped Ciaran get a little bit of that stinky energy out. I needed to put my thoughts in order so I could come home and relax. So now here I am, back at home, with super swollen hands, getting my plan into action. Do I finish my taxes first, my custom orders, or do the dishes? Hmmmmmmm, the only thing I really want to do is work on is my custom orders, but I also want my taxes out of my hair, and a clean kitchen. Maybe I will just make a quesadilla and let the swelling go down, and then put the dishes and the taxes off until tomorrow.

Snoring Contest!

I am a proud finalist in a week long snoring contest being held between Mark, Ciaran, and myself. Last night I was definitely the loudest. Sorry neighbors.

They Left Me Here All Alone!

Which I love, but I am supposed to be napping. I can't nap, I can't eat, I can't do much of anything at the moment. I had to leave my good friends baby shower way early because of my ongoing yuckiness. So, I sit and watch T.V. and play on the computer. I could finish my taxes, but I don't have the stomach for that right now. I could vacuum, but I just don't feel up to it. I could start my newest custom order, but I just feel like sitting and not moving. That is about it. I did manage to find two billfolds that I hadn't listed in my shops yet. It was nice to list a couple of new things. I can't believe I missed two items! I found a cuff too, but I am going to wait until the light is better in here to snap some pics. Must have been the few things that I was going to list right around the time I was struck with vertigo. Well, off I go to become part of the couch again. Have a great rest of your weekend all.

The Haircut That Took All Day.

I gave my son a haircut yesterday. Poor guy couldn't see anything at all. Mix that with broken shoes and you get a whole lot of tripping and boo-boos. So I borrowed some real haircutting shears from my mom and sat the boy down in front of cartoon hour on this or that station, and started clipping away. The back always goes well, because he can't see what I am doing but get to the sides and the front and all goes haywire! He pulls away, pushes the scissors, puts his head down, screams in my face, etc., etc., etc. So we ended up with crooked bangs, uneven sideburns and sides to match, and a little tail in the back. At least he can see now though.

Well, There you go!

Terrible two's have hit hard. I think most of it is from not being able to get out as much with for walks and play lately. I feel awfully guilty but hopefully this will all pass soon and Ciaran and I can once again be adventure buddies. So, my amazement at having a calm, peaceful two year old, has become amazement in the screaming, stomping, "no", melting to the floor and kicking creature I see before me. Truly a sight to behold! He is still calm and peaceful when he is sleeping or eating a cookie, but that is about it.
