Women Changing Their World

So my son and I were having a conversation last night about what he wanted for breakfast in the morning. He said he wanted raw toas t with raisins in it. I said; "raw toast? You mean you want some raisin bread not toasted." He said; "No, I want raw bread." I said; " Okay , that's fine" He's such a nerd!

Do you ever just feel blah ? Well that's how I feel this morning. I didn't want to get out of bed much less get the kids ready for school and I certainly don't want to go to work. It's cold outside-that makes me want to snuggle down deep under the covers and snooze half the day away. But....reality kicks in! By the way, I paid someone to clean my house . I cam home yesterday to a beautiful, shinny, dust free home. It brought a tear to my eye. Well, I guess that's all I have to talk about since my mood is just plain blah. I also have to go and get ready for work. In case anybody has wondered what I do for a living, I sell advertisement in to a junk mail program. Yep, I'm the one who stuffs your mail box every month with those coupons. Some people love to get them, others hate the sight of them and immediately throw it in the trash. Which one are you? Let me know on the poll located in the sidebar.

It's C-c- coooold ! I love it! This is my favorite time of the year. I took some pictures this morning and thought I'd share them today. I mentioned how I liked to go to the thrift store, so I am sharing some items that I bought last weekend from there. Have a wonderful day! My front yard with frost on the ground. I bought this welcome mat on clearance at Target last weekend...only 4 bucks. As you can see I was standing out side in my night gown barefooted. My toes almost froze off! I made this wreath a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I can be a little bit crafty when the mood hits me. I love the tiny bird nest with the bird and little eggs in it. Can you see it? Here's my front porch. All ready for trick-or- treaters ! This guy is scary! He has a motion detector. When you walk in front of him he screams like a banshee and his eyes light up red. It's really quite annoying.... Here is a close up of the mums on my front stoop. I love the color. Here is a thrift store it...

Hello adoring fans (all 4 of you!). I'm excited to play a game. I have no idea what this means, but I do want to play along so I am following the directions. My dear blogging friend GiGi at FireFly Cottage tagged me and here is what I have to do: 1. Link to the person or persons who tagged you. 2. Post the rules on your blog. 3. Write six random things about yourself. 4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them. 5. Let each person know they’ ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog 6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up Six Random (and I do mean random) things about me: #1 I love to shop at the Thrift Store #2 If I could be a beach bum, I would live on it 365 days a year #3 I bite on the inside of my cheek when I'm nervous #4 I am secretly in love with John Cusack #5 My favorite smell is a newborn baby's head #6 I had a speaking part in a Goody's Clothing Store commercial. My line was; " So Bob, what are you giving this year?...

I woke up very late this morning, way later than normal. I did not get up until 10:45am. The doctor prescribed me a sleeping pill. I took it last night, but I had two glasses of wine during the evening. I was awakened by a song playing in my head. "Knocking on Heaven's Door". Can you imagine the horror that came over me? I was feeling disoriented, not sure where I was, with THAT playing in my head! I thought O'Lord I've died and my bedroom is just as dirty and dusty as it was on Earth! I really thought I'd have fine linens and clean furniture in Heaven. Back to the spookiness.... The other day I was playing around with IGoogle and Google Reader and saw where I could add a picture header to the top of the page. I clicked on a title and no other than Bob Dylan popped up there! Remembering that this morning, I thought to myself (actually I said it out loud ) "Is Bob Dylan trying to reach me?" I know he's not dead, but is someone, somewhere tr...

So, I went to the doctor yesterday. I did a follow up appointment for the stomach issue (if you remember We Missed the Big Yellow Bus post). The medicine he prescribed 3 weeks ago just wasn't working. I am scheduled for an ultrasound of my stomach this morning. ( I guess he's looking for an Alien") He believes it's Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so do I. He just wants to do the ultrasound to make sure it's nothing else (like a miniature Sigourey Weaver about to pop out of my stomach). I'm pretty bummed about it because I can't eat or drink anything this morning. NO COFFEE-I think I'm going to die. I'm also not sleeping well. It's like my brain will not shut off. I wake myself up thinking about work deadlines, kid's activities, housework that needs doing, did I pay the power bill...stuff like that. I hate it-I miss sleeping like a rock. I have always loved my sleep. I think it's because I like to escape into dreamland. I have the best drea...
