Happiness

I am not sure if it was the e-mail from my pregnant cousin that has put me in such a mood or the party I attended last night, but I feel so much better. I still have a cold coming on, which I am self medicating myself for, but I feel so much better mentally. I do not feel as stressed out as I have since before Christmas. So today is a great day…for a Monday.

Week 33

Q33 - What are you crossing your fingers for?

Week 32

Q32 - Why did I do that?

Week 31

Q31 - What 3 words would someone use to describ me?

The Living Room

Well we removed the wall between the sunroom and the living room and everything is starting to take shape.

The above picture is of my pregnant sister Sarah pulling out staples in the hardwood floors. We removed the carpet and low and behold there were beautiful hardwood floors underneath. We are planning on having them refinished sometime after my sister's baby is born. We found some interesting wall paper underneath the paneling on the wall. We have decided that because the wall paper is so horrid we are going to just leave the paneling on the wall and paint it with a lovely butter color. All the trim will be a coffee brown.

We have recently had the support beams covered and new outlets and light fixture rewired. We are waiting on the drywaller’s to finish the ceiling so we can prime and paint the walls. We will then sand the trim and then wait for my sister’s friend to do the floors. After the floors are done we will paint the trim. Then we will start on a new room. Be with us next time for standing room only or rock n’ roll.

Week 30

Who do you need to thank?

This list goes on and on, first if would be God for all the good things in my life. Next would be my husband for the unconditional love he gives me (Even though I am really weird sometimes). I am thankful for, my sister, for her interesting outlook on life and my friends for the fun that we always have together.

The Garden

Well I tried to have a vegetable garden at the house but due to extenuating circumstances, the weather has confounded me at every opportunity. I have joined a Community garden with a friend and my sister who lives with me. We have put in a lot of vegetables. I was hoping to put in more cucumbers but mother nature has stopped that with all of the rain. So I will have to be happy with the one's I have.

Week 29

Q29 – Do you have a recurring dream?

When I was younger I use to have this dream about going away to a summer camp that had all these cool toys. They had go-carts, speed boats and helicopters that were sized for little kids. It was always a blast there and I was always there with my sister Heather.

Week 28

Q28 – What are your favorite days of summer filled with?

My favorite days of summer would be filled with a never ending stream of Saturday’s and Sunday’s. I would paint and write, laugh and cry. I would garden and go to the beach down in Florida with my sister and collect shells.

Week 27

Q27 – What have you found lately?

Peace. I have found peace after my father-in-law’s funeral. The pain and suffering that he went thru in his last days made the whole family suffer with him. I have found Peace knowing that he is in God’s arms.

Week 26

Q26 –On my walls I would write…

Do it today, tomorrow it will be illegal.

Week 25

Q25 –Have you had a hug today?

Of course I got a hug today. I always get and give many hugs everyday.

Week 24

Q24 – Name something you don’t understand, but you want to?

Why God chooses certain people to have children and others who are in stable relationships to not have children. Why are children thrown away?

Week 23

Q23 – How can I be kinder to myself…?

Be more positive of what I can do and not to focus on what I can not do. Maybe even go out and do something nice for myself instead of something for others. Like having a pedicure or buying a new outfit or maybe something as simple as making time for my love of nature.

Week 22

Q22 –Which direction am I going?

I feel as if I am going I a positive direction I have recently started working out and am feeling much better for it. Hopefully I will be able to keep up the good work and lose weight so it will be easier to get pregnant.

Week 21

Q21 – If I had a free day with NO restrictions…what would you choose to do?

If I had a day with No restrictions I would take my husband and I would drive and drive. We have our best conversations in the car. I would pack a picnic and we would find a secluded place to sit and laugh and talk the day away.

Week 20

Q20 – What is my latest obsession?

Getting pregnant has been my latest obsession. I have recently changed doctors and been diagnosed with insulin resistance which causes infertility and weird periods. Now that I am taking Mediformin I am feeling much better. I know feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am now waiting patiently for my little friend so we can get started with the baby making.

Week 19

Q19 – What gives me hope?

My Cousin Toni gives me hope. She is now pregnant with Twins and has had as much trouble getting pregnant as I have. Now that she is going to have twins as well as her beautiful little girl it gives me hope that I can have a child as well.

Week 18

Q18 – What’s on your to-do list this week?

My to do list is a jumble of previous lists. When ever I do not finish something on one list I add it to another. I do the easy and the things that I like to do and leave the more difficult and my least favorite for latter. Ending up with some items never being done, I need to finish the difficult and least favorite and leave the things I like to do for last as a reward to myself.

Week 17

Q17 – What is my super power?

I think that my super power would have to be my ability to hold my temper. Some people would just snap. It takes a long time for me to lose my temper but when I do you better watch out because a tornado is coming.
