Hi, Three weeks straight....this is good for me to get things out of my head of what has been happening. Not really for anyone else but me!!!
1. Baseball. One word will describe our lives for the next 5 months, and we could not be happier. Kyle made the team, of course. He is excited and exhausted all at the same time!! He lives for this season!! Coaches seem pretty happy with his talents and are even talking about his future years. We can't wait for games to start!!! Lots of traveling and fun!!!
2. Having a clean house is great!!! Cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and all yesterday. Nice to get it all done and then have Monday all for me!!! We have a clean craft/office now and I actually come in here more. It is nice.
3. Along with a clean house, we also need to work on a clean yard. Next weekend, the plan is to get out and clean up the yard, sidewalks, moss etc. My tulip and daffodils are popping, and I love that. I need to plant more, cause it doesn't take alot of work, and they pop up every year!!!!
4. Over the weekend, my hubby had to put on his plumber pants and replace the garbage disposal. After watching how to videos online, he did it with no fail. Is it wierd that I am happy that the disposal is clean and I don't want to make it dirty??
5. Started sewing again. This time a bag for Melissa. She picked out a pattern that is alittle scary. I have all the pieces cut out, but nervous to start sewing. I can do this!!!!! I guess I need a challenge!!!
6. Crafts. There is so much I want to do. I want to paint. I want to make cards. Wish I was inspired more often. Maybe when I get this bag sewn I can move onto some easter cards.
7. Easter. The question....should we have a family get together here??? Thinking it would be nice, as we haven't done anything at our house for along time, but it is alot of work. If I plan it and put my mind to it, it will get done and Mark would be very happy to have his family here.
8. Work is soooo busy. I am mentally exhausted. One major reason I hate to plan a dinner here, cause I know I need to be mentally prepared and not sure if I will be.
9. Sure am enjoying cooking lately. I have tried some new recipies for my family, and using the crock pot alot. Today I am making asian pork in the crock pot, we will serve it over rice, oh so good!!!
10. My hubby is such a sweetie. I am so lucky that he puts up with all my crap, cause there is alot.
Not sure anyone else would put up with me, sometimes I have trouble putting up with me. He is a keeper. We have been alone alot lately, Kyle is growing up and gone alot, so we are going through some empty nest stuff. But nice to get to know eachother again, we laugh alot and I love that!!

10 on Monday Feb 25
1. Had a great weekend with my hubs and son. Went out to dinner on Friday nite, which is a rare occassion for us. We went to Old Chicago and just laughed and laughed, it was so nice to let go a bit.
2. Watched the Oscars with my hubby, surprised he watched all of it with me. Enchiladas for dinner, nothing too exciting!
3, Had coffee with Melissa on Sunday. She is having a hard time with her depression, We had a really great talk, full of tears. Told her she needed to realize that she has alot of people that love her, and the bad thoughts she has are worthless. I hope it helps, I just want to make her better, and it is beyond my control.
4. Tryouts are all this week for Kyle and Baseball. He loves the game so much. He is more excited than nervous. I tend to get nervous for him, and will be all week/ Need to make sure he is getting enough to eat, he is going to be very hungry this week... hope I have enough food!!!
5. Getting ready to make some Easter cards and some birthday cards. Got some cute little flowers today. I need to decorate the house for spring. I put all the Valentine stuff away!!!!
6. Talked to my Mom on Sunday, it was nice to catch up with her. I sure miss having her around, close to home. I wish I could go visit her again in Redmond, just me. Love to spend one on one time
with her.
7. Work is pretty busy, I find myself being exhausted but more mental than physical. I have alot to
remember, and have to keep on top of everything.
8. Do I have 10 things this week//???? I am thinking I don't!!!! I need to go start dinner for Mark and his buddy, it is Walking Dead nite tonite.....yuck. Mac and Cheese!!!! gotta get!!!

10 on Monday!
So, I know I do this all the time, but I think I could keep up with 10 weekly things. I have seen 10 on Tuesday before, but I am doing 10 on Monday cause Monday is an easier day for me!!! SO with that, here we go....
1. I am starting my Spring Cleaning. Yesterday we got the office/craft room all cleaned up. Still need to do the paper shredding, but we will get that done. Feels so good to have it clean. I can actually be in here and not feel horrible!! Still need to work on my craft stuff, I think I need to get rid of some stuff, I have too many hobbies!!
2. Can't go too far in my list without mentioning my Kyle!!! 15 years old and such a sweetie. I am so proud of him. He just got his report card and got all A's and B's. ( much better than what I used to get!!) He is seeing Tiffany, they have been together for 1 1/2 years now. They get along so good. Baseball is starting next month and Kyle cannot wait, he just loves the game.
3. Valentines day was just last week.....my favorite day!!! I handed out simple little valentine treats to friends, made some special trips to deliver special valentines. Kyle and Tiffany went out to dinner and to a movie, so that gave me a special nite with my hubby. I set a pretty table with name cards that said "You" and "Me", candlelight and music. We had new york steaks with sauted mushrooms, baby red potatoes, salad, and french bread. Mark brought me home daisies, two new mugs from Starbucks, and two RedBox movies. What a wonderful evening, It was so nice to be with my hubby.
4. Work is going good. I have 40 hours now, last week my first week of 40 plus Valentines Day. I was a busy girl. My boss is taking over the deli, and will try to run both departments, so for awhile I am doing more manager stuff. I am sure learning alot about the business, and how to deal with people...customers and employees.
5. I have been sewing a bit lately. I made myself a purse, which is kindof alittle too cutesy. I want to make another one, not as cute. Everyone says I should sell these, but it is finding the time to make more than one that is a challenge.
6. My friend Melissa is going through some hard times. I sure miss seeing her. I want to be a good friend for her, I hope she knows I am always here for her.
7. Mark is doing good. He has alot of stresses with money and work. I love that he is hanging out with his buddies more and more. We have his buddy Charles over for dinner at least twice a month, so they can watch "Walking Dead". UGH, I can't watch. I make them dinner and retire to another room.
8. Wow, hard to come up with 10 things..........Last weekend my Mom and Jack came for a visit. We had so much fun. We played a great game of Phase 10, which of course Jack won again!!!, went to Coffee and to Costco. Lots of great chats and laughs!!!
9. I sure have been missing my Grandma lately. "GG" passed away at the end of October. I was so glad I went to be with her in her last days. The time I got to spend with her and my Mom were Priceless. My Grandma was always there for me, always there for everything in my life. She was in so much pain for so long, and just wanted to go to Heaven. She finally got her wish. She lived to be 96. Love you GG!!!
10. Today I get a bonus day with my Hubby!!! It is Presidents Day and he gets the holiday off...for me it is just my regular Monday off. Kyle is going to the Zoo with Tiffanys family. Not sure what we will do today, hopefully something productive and FUN!!!!
