Yup...

So, the last two weeks have been a challenge. We decided to start trying again. So much hope, so much disappointment. It is so hard in fact waiting to find out there is a whole site dedicated to those two weeks. I have been an emotional wreck. Crazy... my hubby is so great! I wanted so much to be pregnant. I guess the worst part is over, the waiting. Now I know and can prepare myself for what's to come next. Hmm... I feel sorta in a daze, like I am here and the world is swirling around me. Like I'm stuck almost. I dunno, I guess I just thought it would be easy...

So I made a pillow to match my Ottoman that I re-upholstered. It looks really good! I am going to make one more and then a couple of the complimentary color. I will post pictures. :) Here's the Ottoman!









So I was driving to work this morning and I look up in my rear view mirror and see a police car, looked down at my speedometer which read 80 and said... shoot. But he didn't have sirens on or anything so I moved over and he FLEW past me much to my delight. THAT was a close one!

Just one of THOSE days...

I'm sorta bummed today. A friend was supposed to come over today, she didn't. I called my mom to come over but she didn't come for a long time and then only stayed for less than an hour. My husband is going out with a friend tonight. I told him he could but and kinda regretting it. I have missed him all day and was looking forward to spending time with people. I had such goals for the day. But instead I'm feeling discouraged and bummed.
I scrubbed dishes today. Did a load of dishes, I hate hate hate dishes! They just don't want to be clean. ick!

So I purged my old email today which I had signed up for pregnancy newsletters in. It was kind of a bummer. It didn't help the feeling bad thing. :( So I am going to finish the blankets today. I got a call to baby sit on Thursdays, I don't know if I want to do it. Pays pretty well though.

I feel depressed today.

I really want to start a new project, I bought fabric to re-upholster my ottomans, I want to do that, not the blankets, but I'm getting paid for those, I need to do it! Brad's home! Off to sew...

Kinda like a rant...

I know this will be semi similar to a post a while back, but dishes have really been getting on my nerves recently! It's like no matter how often I do dishes I always have more dishes, they are multiplying in the sink, having dish babies! I just know it!

So, I'm sitting here eating mashed potatoes but they have a sticky consistency that's kinda hard to swallow! They aren't traditional mashed potatoes though, they are the "guts" of potatoes from when I made potato skins. You can't just throw them away, thought I would make something with it. Its pretty good, just kinda weird for me.

Anyway... facebook is boring and kinda disappointing. It makes starting a business or anything else really very simple but its kind of a challenge too. I am getting tied up in how many "likes" I have and if anyone messaged me or commented to me or or or... If the computer is even on it's as if I can't help myself, and then I get SUCKED in! Then an hour or more goes by and yup, I have been sitting at the computer the whole time! What a waste of life!

You know I just thought, I blog is like an excuse to rant, haha, no one to tell you that you're wrong, no one to anything. I guess it's kinda good in a sense but also not. I bet people get in trouble sometimes by saying things they shouldn't!

So, I made and sold an apron, two bibs, two blankets and 4 burp cloths. To family... I guess that counts though right? It's hard for me to charge family and friends, I want to give it free. But boy would that get expensive. I am learning though that I have to separate friend or family from business, they want to buy a gift for someone or themselves, it doesn't matter that I made it, right? They woulda bought something at the store or otherwise and spent just as much. It's just nice that it came from me.

So these are some of my most recent thoughts...

Also, check out my business blog! Tell your friends! :)
