Cracker Scraps

For many Americans we are looking forward to celebrating Independence Day! That means like most holidays lots of food. DH will be smoking ribs and chicken on Sunday. Our community will have fireworks on Sunday night. Then as many of you have already discussed, a day of work and off again....
I've decided to make friends with FlyLady. I know I have to shine my sink but better get on track with her sometime today.
I've got a list to do starting at 9:00 AM. I'm going to go stay with three little girls while their mother goes for a job interview. She is a teacher but hates to leave her kids. Her DH is a coworker of my DH and J had surgery last winter for an acoustic neurona which is brain surgery. He has a seventh nerve palsy that causes one side of his face to droop. It has been a real adjustment for the family, bottom line is, mom's decided to go back to work since the littlest one is going to Kindergarten this year.
Sorry I've been laying low but life has been throwing me a lot of curve balls and they have mainly come from my male offspring child.
Only two more weeks until we go to WY. To scrap or not to scrap? I'll go crazy out there if I have nothing to do! I'd better throw in some kits to take along!
I've decided to fake it until I make it! I'm going to take the bull by the horns and get on with my life even if some stupid little kid (dS) tries to wreck it constantly.
I am almost finished a mini matchbook album of baby bunny "Bertie". I'll post it in the gallery today or tomorrow.
Our house has no groceries, can you believe I ate a can of garbanzo beans yesterday? Half for lunch, half for supper. It's not that we can't afford food it's just I was pure lazy! I do have to get some diet coke in this house TODAY!
I plan to finish Traci's "Favorite Travel Places" in time to mail tomorrow.
DD is coming home from school tomorrow for a couple of days but she too has to be in school Monday, summer school is such a crunch.
DH's schedule was changed and he is in the Keys right now. I expect that he'll be home early Friday afternoon. I didn't get to go because he flew and the company doesn't pay for the wife to go along. If we drove the company truck that would be a different story.

Nice Blog, Be Nice and post a NIce Blog

If I should die before I wake I thank myself for this time I take. I hate to leave so much negative stuff floating on the top of my Blog! I'm going to say some nice things even if I have to make them up! Really, I can think of a few nice things!

Life is tough but without struggle there can be no victory! I feel that I am getting stronger every day since my big "WHAM" in the face, whenever it was, let's not count the days!

So, I am thankful in my trials that God entrusts me with them as I believe His promise that He will not give us more than we can bear. Man, it sure does feel like it sometimes.

Ongoing troubles with Mr. Hot Stuff 19 year old who knows it all!

DD is currently my "golden child" she's coming home Friday for the weekend! I'm so happy. I'm going to bed early tonight because I want to be well rested and carpe diem or whatever that fish term is. I know a gold fish is a carp isn't it?

I love rain, I love thunder and lightening storms, I love hurricaines as long as they're only little ones. It's like God's way of saying, I am in charge of things here! I feel a cozy sleep coming on tonight. I hear the Nigh Night train blowin' it's whistle.
