Things here haven't been going terrific, by a long shot. Between Tom's trouble, and about the same time that happened, Megan hurt her back falling on the ice, she was out of school the rest of the week! Then, she no sooner goes back to school and she gets sick with throwing up and then that turned into a very sore and swollen throat! Along with all this, the washer has been broken and they're waiting for parts. And I've been having all these problems with my hands and wrists, which I believe is carpal tunnel! Then, we get horribly cold weather for here, it went down to 9 degrees and the pipes froze! I mean, it has been really one thing after another for 2 weeks now!!

But, you know those kids can always do something to give you a laugh! I have a shelf in the living room, that Jen painted for me, that I keep bears on. well, this shelf has knobs that I have a couple bears hanging on. Well, Maya was digging into some bags of toys that have been put away for awhile and she found her old butterfly. Look where she put it! I left it alone because every time I look at it, I can't help but chuckle!! You just gotta love it!! And it makes me feel good! I need all the help I can get lately!!

trouble for Tom

I guess you all know by now that Tom has gotten into some pretty serious trouble. I hope it all doesn't come out too badly! I went to visit him today...he says he's been reading the bible and working out. He says when he gets out he's staying out of trouble and going to church and going to GED classes and looking really hard for a job! He says to tell you all he loves you! If anyone wants to write to him, his address is:

Thomas Wende

901 Willett Rd.

Jonesboro, AR 72401 I'm sure he'd appreciate a few kind words!

I've been so upset and depressed over this. I'm just trying to keep busy and I've finished a few new things for my etsy shop. Here's some pics. I'm reading a Danielle Steele book right now that is really good, called "Journey". Other than that it has been a quiet weekend. Maya and Jen were here for awhile last night. They are doing good. She has to work this weekend. Maya is her usual crazy little self. I have to fix her Annie doll. She pulled the "bangs" right off. Hope no one else has had this problem!! She calls this Annie "sister" its really cute!!

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Sarah is now 3!!

Happy Birthday Sarah! Hope you had a really fun day! And I hope you like your gifts that are on their way!

Sarah funny face!

I realized after posting the last blog, that I didn't get Sarah's funny face on there. I guess it was too many pics...I kept trying to rearrange them and losing a couple!! So, now I'll include Sarah's funny face and a couple more of her on this one since she just had her 3rd birthday! I love you Sarah!!

Sarah brand new!

Master of the remote! A fun time with fish!
