life

Sigh..... Why is it some people always seem to have it hard - no matter what they do? Just when we were just to round the last bend, again, so that we could see the light at the end of the tunnel.... the great bird of life comes along and has a bad case of the runs. It makes me nauseous just thinking about it. You try to live right and do the things that your counseled to do, but how can you afford that? I know, the Lord will provide for those with a true heart, but it sure is hard at times..... How many "caveins" can one person handle and not have a breakdown???

ECHO ECHo ECho Echo echo ech ec e .....

Here I sit in my mostly empty dining room anxiously awaiting my NEW to me table, chairs and buffet!!!! It's amazing how much it echoes in here by just removing a few pieces of furniture. It bugged AJ so much that he had to put this itty bitty kids table and 2 chairs in the middle of the floor with a table cloth on it.

The biggest decisions that I have to make is WHERE O WHERE am I going to put the boxes of toys that have found their way in here and the book shelf???? sigh.............. Then I will need to move my bakers rack, clean the floor and then I am ready for the big move in!! WOO HOO!! Being magic at a time like this would be really helpful OR having AJ's unlimited abundance of energy -- one or the other, I'm not greedy or pickey.

In other words, I haven't done a whole lot of therapy (aka sewing) since.....well....forever it seems -- okay OCTOBER! Yes, now that I think about it -- that is forever! What with my machine being in the shop -- 3 different times, the holidays, being deathly sick for months, the store closing and now rearranging rooms. I am going to have to dust off and oil my baby before I even sew a stitch. May she forgive me.

Sad times

This economy really bites! It really does take money to make money and to the devil with the little mom and pops stores that aren't necessarily in it for the money, but more for the customers and the service.

The quilts store where I have been working well PLAYING for the last 3 years is closing its doors at the end of the month. It's not a surprise to me, but it still throws us all for a loop.

I have some pretty awesome friends because of the quilting world and from that store that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It's just hard, almost like losing a member of the family.

I guess the mad crazy dash to hurry and get a schedule made and the displays to go with can be put off..... ;(
