Sorry so long

(This is Vader)

Everything has been so busy for us, we moved, had to get the kids started in a new school, we got a fence put up and a new puppy we lovingly call Vader : D. So everything is going good here. I have even managed to lose a total of 28 lbs since I started to work on losing weight. At the moment that is at a stand still so once I get the new pup use to our home and what not I am going to try and go to the Gym if I can't then I can always do video's at home. Plus I want to start school in the Spring and I am super excited and super scared. I keep wanting to make excuses why I shouldn't go bc of how scared I am of going back to school. I haven't been to school since I was 16 yrs old : ( (Yes I was a teen mom and had to drop out of school to raise my son. No way was I aborting him or allowing someone else to raise my son so I stepped up and did what I felt I needed to do to do right by him and I don't regret it.) So yeah that's what's been going down. I am also worried about my Bro is has been drinking more lately bc of his break-up with his G/F he loved alot. She left him bc she had mix feelings about everything and had started having feelings for someone else. She was a sweetie too and I could picture them being together getting married having kids the whole 9 but not now. So anyways he is taking it kinda bad but not as bad as before with the last chick he fell hard for so that's good but I still am going to worry about my little bro ya know. Anyways that is all I got chores to take care of and things to do else where instead of sitting on my butt blogging about everything lol so yeah there is the short story about what has been happening.

Aftermath of a rainy day

Well yesterday it rained towards the end of the day and all so it was a rainy evening. One of those days when you just want to curl up on the couch with your snuggie and read a book or watch a action packed movie or something. (I watched the movie"The Last Boyscout" with Bruce Willis in it <--- favorite Actor) I watched a movie but had no Snuggie : ( Oh well someday soon I too shall be part of the snuggie club ^ ^

Anyway's I took a photo of my newest babies growing up without my flash one. I just wanted to kinda capture the the rainy aftermath this morning. It's a little more brighter outside now and I already moved them all to the back in my room to sit in the window and get some extra rays of Mr. Sun if he comes out to play today. Well I better get going for now. I am so excited about so many different projects I can't really think of anything else to type so....

My Babies are growing : )

My little seedling are growing and I am excited to see them sprout even more!! These are the ones from the cottage garden mix and only a few started to grow so I restarted on one side and cut and sperated the egg cartons. I also plan to place the ones growing in another spot of the apartment because up front there isn't as much sun as there is in the back so guess where they all are going now : ) Well thats all I wanted to say ttyl

The other item I got

Well I picked this up and figured if I can come across some grape vine stencils I can stencil the sides and inside of it with them and then once finished and what not I will be putting fake grapes in it and use it as like a center piece in the dining room/kitchen area. Can you picture it? We still have tons of furniture staining to do as well before the move too. Wish me luck on my hunt for the perfect Grape vine stencil : )

TTYL,

Thrifting again....

Well I went to two different Thrift Stores today and found a few items I snatched up that would be beautiful in my living room theme set-up. I'll post the pictures (They will show up on top) I got something else but I will make a second post about that after this one. Not sure if you remember a post I made a while back about a Daisy/Daisy & Bee themed Living room area. Well as long as it is a country cottage type of feel I am ok. I know I got a ways to go before that is reached but I will be taking photos of my living room once we moved into the new place and have everything put up and set up and all. I am so excited (Is it not July yet???? ><) But here they are for both items I paid about $11 for them. I figured I'd hand them both up on the wall, the chair one under the shelf and maybe put a small plant or something on the chair or maybe a small but cute bowl to catch wallets or something and the shelf be a key ring holder.... Idk still playing with different ideas...lol I also got some cross stitch books there as well and plan to work on some in the future. I know that I can do b/c I've done it before...rofl
