Good Things that have happened recently

I'm trying to appreciate the good things that happen and not concentrate on the bad ones! so, here it goes:



Tom is working! His job is called engineer. He's helping people do their beats and sound for their rap cds, which his "boss" says he's great at! And its a PAYING job!!



Nicky got into a fight with Ginger (ok, not so good!!) but, she lost her tooth in the fight and she is feeling much better! Taking biscuits out of your hand better, eating better and honestly acting younger!!



DJ said "Spider Man" today! Raqui said it sounded like sider man! He is learing so many new words since he started school!

I FINALLY got my hair cut! Since Tom has been in jail, I've been spending the main part of my saturdays standing around waiting to visit him for anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 hours to get a 15-20 minute visit. So, today, since he's not there anymore, I was finally able to go to the beauty school and get a haircut!! yeah!!

I got a new etsy custom order yesterday for 6 (6!) sets of flapper hats and maryjanes! A great sale!

I had a really nice visit with Jen and Maya today! Somehow, I need my "dose" of Maya! She always makes me feel special!!

I have talked to ALL my children within the past week! That is amazing!!

So, you see...there are MANY good things to be thankful for if we just take the time to notice! And right now, good or not, it looks like a winter wonderland outside...SNOW not ICE!! Another thing to be thankful for!

No posts in a long time!

Sorry no posts in so long! I've been so down! Since the beginning of the year it seems like WAY too many things have gone wrong! Tom got into trouble and then we had that HORRIBLE ice storm and then Megan has had some trouble too and in between it all the washer broke down too! Too much bullsh_t!!

Then, last weekend my Aunt Jenny died! I hadn't seen her since Grammy's last birthday party, about 11 years already! But, Jo called crying and very upset, because of course she spent alot of time with her. She was a very sweet Auntie! She lived to be 89, which is really OLD for our family!!

This weekend, after they did nothing Friday but give Tom another court date, I bailed him out of jail. Its funny, but somehow that in itself has made me feel better!! Even though it means me and Meg are gonna have to wait to go to Arizona!

I thought she'd be really mad, but she's not....shes ok with it all, so that's good.

Lately, I've been crocheting more little goodies to put on etsy and have finished two cross-stitch bibs for Darius. And a little dolly dress set for Sarah's dolly I sent her for her birthday. So, I have been busy with my projects, as usual. Here is a pic of Julie with the dolly dress set! And also a pic of the cute little elf dolly I gave Susy as a very late birthday present. Cute, huh?

Well, I think that's all the news for now. I'll try not to go so long in between posts anymore!
