Art Blogging.....
VISIT www.creativeandcolorful.blogspot.com SUBSCRIBE to that one! Forward along. Tell a friend.
Trying to spend more time on art, looking at the positive....seeing the good & the art in life.
But, a quick update about the house....
*** Charlotte has her OWN BED in her OWN room!
*** Andrew cleaned up the house and it looks much more like home :) That is encouraging!
*** FOR REAL, I HOPE....(I should look back and see how many times I've said this)....so let's say there is a chance that Andrew's room downstairs will be finished this week. And, we can paint mine & Ben's new bedroom this weekend! yippee. I'm excited. But, I must say, I will miss sleeping "Willy Wonka Style." Am I a terrible mom? Oh well!
*** We have a few potential renters. Might have someone finalized tonight?! That would be nothing other than God's grace and hand in this craziness.
*** And, a prayer for an "extra" job. We might be able to clean a doctors office to make enough to cover the cost for the Hampton House. That would be another God thing.
*** I feel encouraged and excited. THAT is a nice feeling. It is nice to praise God for the good!
One more praise! I had this wierd cold last week....and couldn't taste or smell anything for about 5 days. I wasn't scared until the doctor said, "oh if that goes away it might not ever come back." Needless to say, that "scared some sense back into me!" But, seriously I am REALLY thankful that I can smell and taste again. Just think about what life would be like if you couldn't smell flowers, a clean baby, taste a filet, coffee, or wine! Initially I thought it would be the best sense to loose...but I'm sure thankful to be able to smell and taste.
Outta here. Love! Feeling peace..............

Moving in the right direction...
Today Bandit found a new home. To me, that is very exciting news. I ate lunch with Andrew and we had a good time. He was happy and motivated. Zach is not going to be living downstairs, so that means that we can move in sooner. When? Who knows. I'm pretty comfortable so, not as anxious. That's probably not a good thing. But, it does make me more patient.
The living room was CLEAN today when I went over to the Hampton House. That made me happy.
I'm trying to motivate. But having a hard time doing so. ahhhh....
But, the house is moving along :) I have pictures, I'll post them soon.
Love!

Sunshine
blabbing:
Communication. Knowing that "the sun will come out tomorrow" if it is cloudy today. Energy brings energy. In giving you will receive. God will not give you more than you can handle. This shall pass....and you're gonna miss this....what an oxymoron (however you spell it). Fireflies, I love that song. You aren't going to get this moment back, so make the best of it. Learning to sing admist the annoyance of sanding drywall. Planning on paper, hoping in God. The energy of Nana, the patience of Mimi, the carefree-ness of Ama, the optimism of Gran, the prayerfullness of Aunt Janet the spunk of Nana Doris, the gentleness of Granny....pack it all together and ta-da....we've got all that we need. Angels guide us, por favor. And give us some energy. 2009, was a lot of grumbling...I'm hoping for some motivation (yes, for me too) in 2010.
the sunshine:
I love how Charlotte says "peease?! okkkaaay!!" It's kind of scarcastic, but I love it. Tonight I was talking with Charlotte, telling her how much I have loved spending my break with her. And, that I'm going to miss her. She said "miss YOU" and she jumped up and gave me a huge hug and kiss. (It actually made a small chip in my tooth as she hit my chin...but what a great scar!) And then the boss said, "mommy sit!" (her new favorite bossy phrase) We snuggled. She is so SO SO SO much fun. I LOVED Christmas break with her.
Okay, I guess I need to stop procrastinating and GO TO BED. I've got to get up way to early to start my reality!
