WOOHOO!! Boy does it feel good. I forgot how soothing is for me. It really is a stress reliever. I whipped up something fast today, trying to get it done before I had to leave for class, and totally forgot about what I really wanted to do. I made some placemats with the intentions of quilting them, and forgot to do the quilting part. They still came out really nice though.<br />

So I'm out of school for winter break, along with the kids, and I'll be out till Jan 13th. I am too excited about that, my brain could really use a break. I've been super busy getting ready for Christmas though (as I'm sure most of you probably are as well), and then my baby celebrated her 7th birthday Friday before last. I have a project on the table for Justin, the plan is to get it finished before I go back to school. Oh, and we have a new puppy that's giving me fits, his name is Max. We're a big dog family but we rescued Max, who's a Yorkshire or Silky Terrier depending on who you ask, from my mom. This little dog is like having a little baby in the house, he's all over the place. The picture below is a bit fuzzy, and he really looks like a Chihuahua in this pic to me. He had just come from the groomer's getting his hair shaved down super low because he was matted terribly. We tried to keep the shirt on him so he wouldn't shiver too much, but he tore that thing off. It lasted about two days and I can't find anymore in his size. On to a different subject, Justin has graduated from the Bear level in the Cub Scouts onto the Webelos level. Yeah for Justin!! Anaya is a Daisy in the Girl Scouts, super exciting for her, and she'll be selling cookies soon. They start on Dec. 24th, crazy to me with the holiday and everything, but I'm told they always do it that way. And we're not allowed to sell door to door, didn't know that either. Alani is our super reader, reading a new book every couple of days. I love, reading is fundamental! Anyway, that's what's going on in our little world lately. Will be back shortly.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIkNSpIM8Fj4EbZ6D2FbPJ0Li7am9uOeXVKOKjiIM0cnxVm74lkLChrRqcC9q7_nNEM_BgjjHl1rlM5D2eCbAhvoWzjicmHx4kX5ZsHt1kUEIQsdNNzJCyzujTATBYcI48I0DNgA8eAWJ/s1600/IMG_0256.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552049536690636530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIkNSpIM8Fj4EbZ6D2FbPJ0Li7am9uOeXVKOKjiIM0cnxVm74lkLChrRqcC9q7_nNEM_BgjjHl1rlM5D2eCbAhvoWzjicmHx4kX5ZsHt1kUEIQsdNNzJCyzujTATBYcI48I0DNgA8eAWJ/s400/IMG_0256.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> ~Tootles!</div>Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-91426768640540917752010-11-03T16:19:00.002-05:002010-11-03T16:24:18.606-05:00OMG!!Oh My Goodness!! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted. Things have been so busy in my world. I'm still taking classes to become a Special Education Teacher. I'm doing various things with the children's schools, as well as their extracurricular activities. I'm actually on my way to take a nap before we go to church this evening. Just wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone. I did manage to sew something while on break from classes. I made a cute fall wall hanging. I'll have to come by and post a pic when I get it hung up. I need to first go by Hobby Lobby and get a dowel rod for the back of it. See you all soon.<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-62479230564909491742010-08-22T19:32:00.002-05:002010-08-22T19:39:02.481-05:00Surprise!!!Hello everyone! As you know my husband is an Army soldier and was deployed not too long ago. Well, I've been asking him repeatedly if he'll be coming home for RandR. The children and I really miss him and really want to see him. He would reply that it's just too hard on the children and so he would just do his full tour without coming home. He called us on yesterday and of course we were happy to speak to him, it's been a few days since we last spoke to him. Again I asked him if he was coming home, and again he said he didn't think it was a good idea. He then asked me to go look in the garage closet for a book of his and he would call me back in 5 minutes. Okay. So we hang up and I head for the garage to get this book of his. I open the door, and there my husband is, in our garage! What a pleasant surprise!!!<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-42915526367592728482010-08-05T06:42:00.003-05:002010-08-05T06:52:25.552-05:00First Day of School!!Hey everyone, long time no blogging!! Been busy as a bee over here in my world. Something had to take a back seat, and unfortunately blogging and crafting was it. I'm sure we all go through the busy spells at times. Anyway, today is the first day of school for my babies. It feels like our summer has been cut in half, but they did get out of school the end of May so I guess it's time. My oldest will be going to middle school. I am so nervous for her so I've been praying night and day. She wants me to take her this morning and will be riding the school bus after today. Poor baby said she didn't get to sleep till almost 3 this morning. Those first day of school jitters are something else. Meanwhile, my son who is very excited to go back to school has changed his mind about walking and would like me to drive him as well. This of course will make the baby very happy because she really doesn't like walking to school. So, that's a quick note on what we're up to over here. Now I must go make sure the children keep it moving or they won't be leaving on time.<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-2773954004788210862010-06-26T15:32:00.002-05:002010-06-26T15:37:49.106-05:00Tank Dress Giveaway!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizPNfMyLB06g5M3sGLsJcomufurk-isxTqsa9mAECkAqYojsvBbX1tb5qBlPsGIOSULPBmDsdJCaBNJDjhBIL1rRii_W10gq_ZBN1bq0BoGIe69HoZEeAnXZjNb5AXq8B17CDT1SyFzzT/s1600/4-up_on_2010-03-15_at_22.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487183264485473090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizPNfMyLB06g5M3sGLsJcomufurk-isxTqsa9mAECkAqYojsvBbX1tb5qBlPsGIOSULPBmDsdJCaBNJDjhBIL1rRii_W10gq_ZBN1bq0BoGIe69HoZEeAnXZjNb5AXq8B17CDT1SyFzzT/s400/4-up_on_2010-03-15_at_22.JPG" border="0" /></a> Hey everyone, I'm going to have to come back another time to tell you all about our trip to NY.

So yesterday was the Friday Night Sew In, and out of my two lists of things to -do I managed to get two baskets done for two of the children's teachers. I have one left to do. What a shame! But the children and I had a blast watching our Friday night movie. We watched the movie 17 Again with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry. Very funny movie, we actually watched it twice. Anyway, below is a pic of the baskets I made up for the teachers. I'll fill it with a few goodies and let the children give it on the last day of school this Thursday. Hope you guys got to get more sewing done than I did last night.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mhfdFeitAuZpNCFZZJuAyPJKuCQwj4U7LQTodVXNGOc29917n0UV9-PGqwER-KaWxD-ZNjF2ej4J07DDWr0BfLaLFAdVVupjxl8R0nzhPmzr1CtBYqMkozJxqtF13LZBLiwzWYpjUuWV/s1600/IMG_0569.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474230616476031890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mhfdFeitAuZpNCFZZJuAyPJKuCQwj4U7LQTodVXNGOc29917n0UV9-PGqwER-KaWxD-ZNjF2ej4J07DDWr0BfLaLFAdVVupjxl8R0nzhPmzr1CtBYqMkozJxqtF13LZBLiwzWYpjUuWV/s400/IMG_0569.jpg" border="0" /></a> Oh, I had to take my cutting mat back to the store today because every time I made a cut, the cutting lines will come off. What good is a cutting mat without the cutting lines to guide me? So once again I am without a trusty mat. Adding that to my wish list.<br /><br />Now I'm off to see what the other FNSI participants worked on last night.<br /><br />~Tootles!<br /><div></div>Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-75714070740703552022010-05-21T11:59:00.003-05:002010-05-21T12:11:23.746-05:00Friday Night Sew InHello everyone! Tonight is the Friday Night Sew In I was telling you all about yesterday. While watching movies and eating pizza with my babies, because today is also family movie night, I have a few projects on my list to sew up. I actually have two lists, a to-do list and a want-to-do list. I will start on the to-do list first because school is over next week and I want to put some baskets together for my babies' teachers.<br /><br />So let me tell you about the pic below. As you know Earth Day was a few weeks ago. Well my children are still talking about it because they are always thinking of things they can do to save the earth from man's destructive habits. So when Earth Day rolls around it really gets them going. In an effort to reduce our use of paper products, we have put our last roll of paper towels on the spool and once it's done will begin using cloth napkins. So below are a few of the cloth napkins I sewed up earlier this week.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MSyeliVCEmGWX991w9Ks2yTS0CEQtUOngKE7BFtFjMInUMo1XbZ3N75kmR7_8dA3jOexhnUs5pvpw5PSrBUpPUlTI_w15kTSJ3L5Q9_Ir5lrw7e0ltoCV1GElGElDtYmj-bwt_6S6kYT/s1600/IMG_0518.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473769409513268242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MSyeliVCEmGWX991w9Ks2yTS0CEQtUOngKE7BFtFjMInUMo1XbZ3N75kmR7_8dA3jOexhnUs5pvpw5PSrBUpPUlTI_w15kTSJ3L5Q9_Ir5lrw7e0ltoCV1GElGElDtYmj-bwt_6S6kYT/s400/IMG_0518.jpg" border="0" /></a> That's just the beginning. I will attempt to make some re-usable snack and sandwich bags. Yes I know school is almost over but we still like to carry snacks around, and with us going to NY we will definitely need them. I am not trying to spend all my money buying food from the street vendors. Some for the childen's experience, but not much.<br /><br />It's not too late to join the FNSI, just click on the link down on the left and sign up. You could win a cool prize, and get some projects finished as well.<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-5330341719119392752010-05-20T18:13:00.004-05:002010-05-20T18:24:47.975-05:00Rain Delay and Friday Night Sew InToday's field day at the children's school, and tomorrow's as well, has been postponed till next week because of rain. And when it rains down here it really rains. The children were disappointed to say the least. This makes for a very busy week for me coming up with volunteering at the school on Mon, Tue, and Wed; Thurs being the last day of school; and our trip to NY on Fri. I'll be driving by myself with 3 children to NY, a 15 hour drive. By myself. With 3 children. For 15 hours. Pray for us! LOL.<br /><br />Anyway, so this will be my last weekend for about 2 weeks to get some sewing time in. Tomorrow is the Friday Night Sew In with <a href="http://www.handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">Heidi</a> and <a href="http://www.craftyvegasmom.blogspot.com/">Bobbi </a>as well as family movie night. So my plan is to sew some items while eating pizza and watching movies with my babies. Big Fun!!<br /><br />If any of you have some sewing you want to catch up on, and want a chance at winning a few prizes while doing it, go to Heidi or Bobbi's blog and sign up for tomorrow's Friday Night Sew In.<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-18854180307867025182010-05-19T19:00:00.002-05:002010-05-19T19:04:01.485-05:00GiveawayTwiggle box is offering a chance to win a $40 gift certificate to any CSN store.

Anaya wears a skirt or dress 95% of the time, always with shorts or leggings underneath. She only wears shorts to go to bed or to the pool over her swimsuit. So I decided to follow <a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2009/10/re-pursposing-girls-pants.html">this</a> tutorial to make her some capris. I made a pattern using these shorts that are a bit too big in the waist along with these capris that are the right length but too snug in the bum (why are my pics sideways?).<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdZaIPqxx2eC1sK6jdEj7kpLNUNKWG9KQVXYNznUKNLeKa5jpOctYkCOayuA9qZbiKDpqE2il6MzrQojZviU0UvbLwfv5haaRP1K8LU3hYCdyP1mJdjuH7uyY4i36g3n_Zr6_m-gmYxRP/s1600/IMG_0527.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473101108062416018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdZaIPqxx2eC1sK6jdEj7kpLNUNKWG9KQVXYNznUKNLeKa5jpOctYkCOayuA9qZbiKDpqE2il6MzrQojZviU0UvbLwfv5haaRP1K8LU3hYCdyP1mJdjuH7uyY4i36g3n_Zr6_m-gmYxRP/s400/IMG_0527.jpg" border="0" /></a> I then took one of dh's old and holey t-shirts<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyzLA-Y8UJMxdnniH8dxkyXUqzleSEAtGMD1CldpBcTG4fR2Vv4ObiGFib-kcAh9J1cufkZ_v9JBkBNp27P28o4QMFToWW4g5wDk5TwL10xUvKonYVF-Nui16PkikrZ-D4CWPaYEqz1_Ii/s1600/IMG_0528.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473101102848756290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyzLA-Y8UJMxdnniH8dxkyXUqzleSEAtGMD1CldpBcTG4fR2Vv4ObiGFib-kcAh9J1cufkZ_v9JBkBNp27P28o4QMFToWW4g5wDk5TwL10xUvKonYVF-Nui16PkikrZ-D4CWPaYEqz1_Ii/s400/IMG_0528.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />and made these cool looking capris for my lil angel to wear on field day.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC8XBwmvIfo0P1ZJPylQD1sBckMff-rpnNYA-cP2qNLzrGeBTvIESAS5Rm5TrbyBHG1LyKAzdGq2n0zuZ0sjWjuL41ns_dar7IWPuG-tesjJyC25B9ZphQLRwgGzYTjxX9EfuHdRB5lsS/s1600/IMG_0539.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473101096352956162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiC8XBwmvIfo0P1ZJPylQD1sBckMff-rpnNYA-cP2qNLzrGeBTvIESAS5Rm5TrbyBHG1LyKAzdGq2n0zuZ0sjWjuL41ns_dar7IWPuG-tesjJyC25B9ZphQLRwgGzYTjxX9EfuHdRB5lsS/s400/IMG_0539.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Re-purposing is so much fun, and the best part is she loves them!I tried a little reverse applique and made what I thought was a flower.

I took my final exam in Music Appreciation today, and I have my final in Am. Hist. II on Thursday. I really don't like that class and have been struggling with it for some time. I'm praying that I pass the final and pass the class so I won't have to retake it. I really don't like that class, I can't say that enough. Anyway, in anticipation of having free weekends again, in between spending time with my babies of course, I have a new project in mind. First I want to show you all a pic of the desk and hutch I bought at a yard sale the other day for my sewing room/closet. I should've took a pic of what the closet looked like before this, but just imagine the black totes from the bottom pic in place of the desk and hutch with my sewing machine on top of it, and me sitting on another tote in front of it to sew. Remember all my sewing goodies are in storage in NC. So this is my new sewing room. It's actually a closet but I love it more as my sewing room.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJ4KO7Hzwy3CVpZWBSmUKnPJb4l0uhEPqwhvuSSSHOeTSf8VqwG7HL77B54_pqw3L6EJ-KuERuh4A-SpFuAn_YjBkU3YopJt2tYRYCqFFX3APbrOEXnITMMkEE0qQvw-KiR65IGAJVeWL/s1600/IMG_0377.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467237894687165922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJ4KO7Hzwy3CVpZWBSmUKnPJb4l0uhEPqwhvuSSSHOeTSf8VqwG7HL77B54_pqw3L6EJ-KuERuh4A-SpFuAn_YjBkU3YopJt2tYRYCqFFX3APbrOEXnITMMkEE0qQvw-KiR65IGAJVeWL/s320/IMG_0377.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih6suLvs-elDrnvWz-dGRDkNOI8sARzMsdLHdELxIrmgFo_lFWEUMPRiBZctW6R4sXbT8XEgPhvkvmQoToXY0hciAR5O8PplCM-snAveeZp-9CMxCYXIXR_EL27iW60Bv2xRm36nRIUkQv/s1600/IMG_0376.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467237891454317714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih6suLvs-elDrnvWz-dGRDkNOI8sARzMsdLHdELxIrmgFo_lFWEUMPRiBZctW6R4sXbT8XEgPhvkvmQoToXY0hciAR5O8PplCM-snAveeZp-9CMxCYXIXR_EL27iW60Bv2xRm36nRIUkQv/s320/IMG_0376.jpg" border="0" /></a> Okay so now <a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/05/re-purposing-t-shirt-into-dress.html">here</a> is the project I plan to work on this weekend for my baby, I am so excited too. I fancied up some socks for her and made a few headbands, but I haven't really gotten into my sewing since we moved here, and I'm having symptoms of withdrawal. I must sew something, soon. I already have some fabric on hand and an old t-shirt just begging to be re-purposed. Will show you all the finished product.</div><div> </div><div></div><div>~Tootles!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-43242998095966738162010-04-26T06:06:00.003-05:002010-04-26T06:18:51.005-05:00Blue Monday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-QUMgcFv-89_wPgdkllylwZpfJngv3u5ULfEiAqT3x7LlA7Sd7B63lPNr5tAT1neM835MWrYKqeSPRaZFidJ2WVYw0gC-WcueCScwQAVR-0ssYFTsy_50wzFmToq_nnNt8HYSS2o8BWc/s1600/bluemondaybutton.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464402925340090498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 106px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-QUMgcFv-89_wPgdkllylwZpfJngv3u5ULfEiAqT3x7LlA7Sd7B63lPNr5tAT1neM835MWrYKqeSPRaZFidJ2WVYw0gC-WcueCScwQAVR-0ssYFTsy_50wzFmToq_nnNt8HYSS2o8BWc/s400/bluemondaybutton.jpg" border="0" /></a> Good morning all. It's been a long time since I've done a blue Monday post, but here it is.<br />This is one of the gifts Alani got for her birthday yesterday, a Blue Nintendo DS. She actuallly received it at her un-birthday party on Saturday. The look on her face was priceless when she saw it, as she and all her friends squealed with glee saying ' ohhhhh!!!'. LOL, it was too funny and rather suprising as Alani doesn't show much emotion.

Today is my baby's birthday, yeah!!! Alani is 11 years old today, can you believe it? I can't. My she's grown so fast. We had an un-birthday party for her yesterday at the bowling alley and she said 'it was a blast!' She had 5 girlfriends from class party with her, a few little friends for her lil sis and bro to bowl with, and my friend and her husband stayed and bowled with me. It's so funny to see my once extremely shy baby, who's only started peeping her head out of her shell in the 4th grade, play and laugh and really enjoy herself with her girlfriends. It's really good to see because we've only been at this school for a few months, and it hasn't been all peaches and cream. But she seems to be handling things very well and it showed yesterday. I just can't stop smiling, thinking about all the fun those children had at that party. Anyway, just wanted to share. Have a blessed day!<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-66794907083075434042010-04-22T05:58:00.002-05:002010-04-22T06:05:50.427-05:00This is weird!Good morning all! Okay, so at 12:57 this morning the phone rings. I rush to it thinking it's my dear hubby who I haven't spoken to in days. I really miss him, gotta get this phone. Who is it? Paypal, or so they say. There was a recording saying that they were Paypal calling for phone confirmation number. I'm like, what?!! So the recorder repeats itself. Please enter your phone confirmation number. Well, for one, it's almost one o'clock in the morning. What in the sam hill is Paypal going to be calling at this time of the hour for? And two, I don't know what they're talking about. So I hang up, disgusted that I had to wake from my sleep and dash to the phone for some nonsense. UGH!!! Anyway, I thought that was kind of weird and wanted to share with you all. Have a blessed day!<br /><br />~Tootles!Carlottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994789996606039004.post-39798010823590044292010-04-07T07:40:00.003-05:002010-04-07T07:47:58.207-05:00Snatch Joy!Today is Wednesday, otherwise known as humpday, and boy am I glad. That means the weekend will soon be here, which always flys by, and the children will be back in school on Monday. WOOHOO!! I love being with my babies, but me being in class while they're on Easter break has not been easy. Instead of coming to my quiet home where I can study in peace, there's laughing children and playful noise. LOL, don't get me wrong, I love it; but there are some times when you need a little peace and quiet. Well, not this week. So I decided last night that I would not worry too much about studying for the test in American History II that I have tomorrow, and just enjoy spending time with my babies.

I've been up since 4 this morning so I figured what better time than to let you all see what I've managed to do get done lately. My littlest angel is a BIG fan of Fancy Nancy, I'm hoping you all know who she is. She's a little girl in books who always dresses and speaks fancy, which to her is French, while her family does not. Anyway, Anaya being the girly-girl that she is, loves to be fancy as well. So in the below pic you see the socks I bought her on the right, and the pretties I bought to make them more fancy. So here is the before,<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8cyU1CD9-wYzqiGCZMMkKNa0HJjrTQqHKLhJx2S05-BQvD_PcDtO7DOaNCcccZSQ-ZFo8kqZZlgQ-wPqihGLyJxeCPPzuoWEMvAF3wmsxYDSWjI7ca4UQkLJ4DXQszNYbuvYy-sNCXBE/s1600/IMG_0125.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454375218558028562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8cyU1CD9-wYzqiGCZMMkKNa0HJjrTQqHKLhJx2S05-BQvD_PcDtO7DOaNCcccZSQ-ZFo8kqZZlgQ-wPqihGLyJxeCPPzuoWEMvAF3wmsxYDSWjI7ca4UQkLJ4DXQszNYbuvYy-sNCXBE/s200/IMG_0125.jpg" border="0" /></a> and here is the after.

I've missed talking to you guys. My hubby left on this past Tuesday, boo hoo :( we miss him so much. Wednesday I slipped down the stairs in our house and fell on my back, bumped my head and hurt my neck somehow. Had to go to the ER and get an x-ray. Found out nothing was broken, thank God, but I bruised my ribs. They hurt like heck too. I'm feeling better than I did a few days ago, but to sneeze and cough, is very painful. And wouldn't you know I've been doing a lot of that because I'm sick with a cold or sinus infection or something.<br /><br />Wednesday night we also realized that we couldnn't get our front door to open. Serious fire hazard. So we called maintenance for that and they came out at 8:45pm to fix it. They have to come back because the windows in two of our bedrooms won't lock. This couldn't have gone on while hubby was here right, of course not. Let's wait till he leaves and then wreak havoc.<br /><br />Anaya has decided she will not eat her food in school. I've been sending lunch and snack and she just will not eat it. Not that she's talking or anything, but she won't eat. So I may have to go sit with her after my class one day. She may be going through separation anxiety or something with her daddy gone and all.<br /><br />I started school again this past Monday. Going for my bachelor's in special education.<br /><br />I don't want to make this post any longer than it already is but I want to show you all a picture of the beauty my hubby got me for Valentine's Day.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN7jHJU-xpDwLfjYVoB520ERBptC4PjK0_bITqx7KRdjSxulJTTb3SMdqy7-JfbsbnjW7Ygy1ptOwHX7QVQUIw-nCt6rqdJi3MM1kq1sbTpQHM5hbzjyaK2SxKCmsQQkF-s_rUMqShvs5x/s1600-h/IMG_0011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450701806108624354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN7jHJU-xpDwLfjYVoB520ERBptC4PjK0_bITqx7KRdjSxulJTTb3SMdqy7-JfbsbnjW7Ygy1ptOwHX7QVQUIw-nCt6rqdJi3MM1kq1sbTpQHM5hbzjyaK2SxKCmsQQkF-s_rUMqShvs5x/s200/IMG_0011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VKyquegwgSnismyw_bj0uc907VImgIsHwa49x48TF8nvDzTDTcVAT4W1eZvSvve2EjrvhD-Ryhat6eCyjyPIhS5lB6IE9gJDgggyfKdGS8AhS-zd8hW22PSof8Oh1S2Q3o-Buf9BLRCr/s1600-h/IMG_0010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450701801354704498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VKyquegwgSnismyw_bj0uc907VImgIsHwa49x48TF8nvDzTDTcVAT4W1eZvSvve2EjrvhD-Ryhat6eCyjyPIhS5lB6IE9gJDgggyfKdGS8AhS-zd8hW22PSof8Oh1S2Q3o-Buf9BLRCr/s200/IMG_0010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Isn't she gorgeous!!
