Be Still and Know...Then and Now

Monday, February 20 Well I am not sure what to think! I do not ever recall having blooms this early in the year. My fear is that in typical southern fashion we will get a very nasty turn to the frigid winter temperatures and all the new spring blooms will be ruined. The cherry tree in the back yard is in full bloom and all the daffodils are up and the thrift is blooming and the red bud trees have been blooming for days. Tuesday, February 21 Well things for my son have picked back up and the jobs are rolling in. Mommy drops off Muffinhead very early and she tuck her in the spare room and she falls fast asleep for several more hours. I went in to wake her and found her sprawled out with such a sweet look on her face. Is there anything better than a sleeping little one?   I noticed a small puddle in the garage at the beginning of the week. Well when I went out in the garage this afternoon the small puddle had turned into a very large puddle. After moving some things around and ...

Grandma: I’ll be right back… Muffinhead: OK Grandma A minute later…. Muffinhead in a raised voice: GRANDMA, GRANDMA…..What are you doing? Grandma: I’m going potty, I’ll be out in a minute. The pitter patter of little feet plus the dog…. Muffinhead: (running down the hall and into the bedroom) Grandma, Grandma….what are you doing? Grandma: I’ll be out in a minute. Potty flushing…. Muffinhead: You did a good job Grandma! Grandma: Why Thank You Sweetie, you want to read a book now? The End

Well it was an off week for me, not in the sense of something bad happening, but when the hubs is out of town I take some time off. I stocked up the frig with chicken pot pies and frozen pizza and I use the time to kinda do whatever I want. I did all the normal things this week, I had a visit with Muffinhead this week, no cute pictures thought, went to bible study but basically I was at one with my yarn and Kindle all week long during my down time. Monday, February 13 Y’all I have to brag a bit. I opened up the mail on Monday and found this. The hubs is so thoughtful. As he was heading out of town for two weeks he dropped this in the mail at the airport so I would get his valentine card on time! I made sure to point out to my DD that when it comes time to shop for husbands she needs to pay special attention to what a good one looks like and make sure to get one just like her dad! Tuesday, February 14 First no I did not make these. I am not even sure who did. One of the ladies in...

What did y’all do this morning? Muffinhead was very chatty and then she burst into song! My Stuff….Her Stuff, the ABC song…twinkle twinkle and then………tinkle tinkle Happy Valentine's Day!   Blessings R

So when you get down to Saturday you will know why I am so late in getting my post up today. It was freezing today and my feet are in a perpetual state of iciness. I am in hopes of curling up with a book and a blanket as soon as I hit the post button so I will forge ahead to facilitate that goal. Monday, February 6 The day started out in a normal uneventful kind of way. However you just never know when something seemingly unimportant can impact you. It was an unguarded moment and in a thoughtless “what harm can it do kind of way” I posted an opinion on a Facebook page I follow. Have mercy is all I can say. Thankfully I swiftly retreated to the safety of my kitchen table with the quick utilization of the handy DELET button. I have learned a valuable lesson on keeping my opinions to myself. Needles to say after I got over be stunned and shocked that my simple opinion over a very ridiculous topic…what actor should play the part of a character from a novel…..well I was blasted for my ...

then don’t say nothing at all I am taking a break from my bible study prep for my Wednesday class, my coffee maker has a flashing red light on it indicating that I need to run a cleaning cycle, the refrigerator needs to get a good cleaning out, the dog needs to go to the vet to get his nails trimmed, I need to take the car to the shop for an oil change and tire rotation and the bathrooms need to be cleaned. So I have decided that rather than attending to all those wonderfully simulating situations I have opted to make a latte and work on a blog post. Never let it be said that I can not place all things in there proper perspective when really pushed to the edge. I had a situation happen this morning, hence the title of my post! If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say nothing at all, well this morning I made a error in judgment. Not a long lasting error and one that was easily corrected but still if did get me to thinking about the true nature of people. It really was a very s...

Hey There Y’all! I did a bit better this week, I only missed a few days, and in my book that’s a good week! I can’t believe that I actually had a Saturday and had the opportunity to get my post ready today instead of late Sunday afternoon. Will wonders never cease! Monday, January 30 I finished this labor of love on Sunday evening. I have been working on this shawl for quite some time. I actually started on September 15 of last year and finally cast off on Sunday (1-29-2012). Sometimes I can be a bit on the stubborn side, especially when I feel like I did not meet the expectations I set for myself. I had attempted this particular pattern and had an extremely difficult time with it. I had to sit for one entire evening with a friend while she unraveled and corrected my mistakes. I just could not seem to get a handle on how to get the stitches correct. Finally after several days of frustration I finished off the project and turned it in.
