So...It's Saturday
It's Saturday, and first of all, I slept a RIDICULOUSLY long time this morning. I wasn't out of bed until after 9:30 a.m. And, crap, I really don't like sleeping in, but it's this whole going back to work thang. It plumb WORE ME OUT!
So, what else is up on this Saturday. Hmmmm...Patch, our sweet weiner dog, vomited all over his pillow and blanket. ICK...so it is being washed...and Stephen washed Patch and Rainer for good measure. Stephen has a basketball game today, and I'm baking some bread and cookies to take to a friend who lost a loved one.
A little later, we are picking up our niece, Katrina. She and Stephen are going to watch the movie Despereaux, while Virgil and I watch Valkyrie. (and I'm not sure I spelled either of those movie names correctly!)
Tonight, I'm hoping to work on the Stephen room swap project.
And, I want to take some pictures of current projects to post here!
Here's hopin'!
Have a great Saturday!
Be blessed! ~ @my

Thursday Confessions
I’m trying to get back into the groove! You know, the “holidays are over, back to work, outta bed by 6, routine machine” groove. And it’s hard. And I’m tired! I miss my naps! Who would have thought that 2 weeks off work would throw such a kink in my routine? Two glorious, routine free weeks! And my poor little family….they suffer!
So, in hopes of rectifying my lack of routineness, I confess:
1. I haven’t cooked a meal all week long!
2. My laundry hamper is overflowing onto my bedroom floor (this is an understatement)
3. I haven’t worked on any projects all week! Wait…I did rip some fabric for a ZSQ on Tuesday! ahh
4. I don’t even want to talk about the state of my refrigerator.
5. LG (the Leopard Gecko) is hungry! I forgot to pick up meal worms yesterday!
6. Stephen is in between bedrooms – he has his desk and book case in one room and his bed, clothes and toys/etc in the other. And he really wants to get moved. And I really want to start on my craft room. …sigh…
7. I have no snacks prepared for my sweet hubby and tonight is the college national championship ball game.
8. I ate CinnaMelts from McDonalds this morning.
9. I’m outta coffee!
10. We’re down to one roll of TP in each bathroom!!
Gasp, gasp, …let me catch my breath. …. Ok, I feel better!
Have a great day!

In Memory of Dad
Jasper Louis "Tommy" Roberts
Feb. 14, 1935 - Jan. 2, 2008
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part,
God has you in His keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I love you Daddy!

Happy New Year!
2009 is here! And I'm looking forward to a great year. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family and I am grateful.
I received sad news tonight and am asking anyone reading this post to say a prayer for my Uncle Bill and Aunt Betty and all their children. Pray for peace for them and the continued knowledge that the Lord is there for them ALWAYS!
Here are a few of my goals for 2009:
-Learn more of the Lord's word
-Make a quilt
-Make healthy changes to my life and encourage my husband and son to do the same
-Catch up on some projects around the house
-Strive to be better...
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year and praying for God's blessings on you and yours.
