This and That....

My camera is scheduled to be delivered on the 10th!!!! I am so excited! Like I said before I am not going to have a clue about what to do with it but I am going to have fun practicing!

I actually sewed something tonight. I have had a pillow that has had a gaping hole in it for like a month and I have a sewing kit I used to keep in my desk drawer at work but never opened so I fixed it. This is a big deal to a girl who has never even sewn on a button. The stitch work ain't pretty but who cares??? It's fixed.

We want to get rid of my 4 Runner and get me something with a cheaper payment and better gas mileage now that I am unemployed. We thought we may have had a buyer today but when they came and looked at it the lady mentioned that she found another one online for less. She liked mine better but we couldn't come off the price much because we have to take the money from the sale and pay it off. DANG.....

Today was a L...O....N....G day!!!! The kids were great all day but the day started so early and I just got them completely settled in the bed at like 10:00 because Sam took a late nap and woke up wired. I may as well forget even mentioning Riley going to bed before her baby brother...it won't happen...so I had to let her stay up late while he ran off the energy he gained from a late nap. Now I am really tired but restless at the same time. I am thinking a hot bath, finish the last two chapters of the book I am on and straight to bed after that.

There was a murder in the subdivision beside ours on Friday! A 28 year old woman stabbed her sister and the sister was pronounced dead at the hospital. I heard tons of sirens on Friday but had no clue what happened and I don't watch the news or get the paper so I didn't find out until today and read about it online. It was described as an apparent domestic dispute. I cannot even wrap my mind around an argument getting so heated that someone grabs a weapon and kills someone.

My mom offered to keep the kids for a while on Thursday or Friday to give me a break and do some of my running around. I am looking forward to getting some things done and taking advantage of some time alone! It seems like I am always needing a break but I think it is because my kids go nonstop all day every day and for the past 2 weeks with Samuel getting up in the middle of the night as well I am also not getting enough rest at night either. I wish I could get an injection of energy serum every morning!

I better go get my bath started!

Later Gaters!

  1. I hate hearing about murders in my area, but knowing that it was a domestic dispute is better than knowing there is a random killer on the loose.
    Good luck with the camera, selling your SUV, and getting some sleep!

  2. I am so excited for you and your new camera. You will have so much fun taking all kinds of pictures. Your family will be so tired of being snapped they will run and hide :) I hope you enjoy every minute of your break, you deserve it! Ok, MURDER!!! Really, that is just insane and scary. People these days are NUTS!!!! Hope you got some much needed rest last night and hope you and the kid-o's have a GREAT day :)
