Welcome to my little corner of blogland! This is the only sane spot I can come in my crazy life! :) Here I share my sometimes funny sometimes NOT-day to day insanity I call my life, along with my sweet wooly hubby & all our boys :)

Now put foundations under them.

A meme and an update

Well here it is humpday again :) I like Wednesdays, I am off on Wed. usually. Its midweek so no real pressure for the start of a week or the weekend. So whats new with you? Me? Well lets do a list shall we? In all its oddness...
  • The kids went for yearly physicals yesterday. I paid Lovey $5 to get a shot without fighting the nurse LOL and it was the best $5 I have ever spent. I was very proud of him he overcame a major major fear yesterday :)
  • The Dollar Tree next to my work went out of business. Here is the sign (somewhat) that they put up: STORE CLOSED, PLEASE VISIT OUR ___ LOCATION, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM. um, ok. PATRONAGE maybe?! LOL cracked me up.
  • I've actually been sewing! Working on some tiny patchwork blocks, made a new freezer rice thingie, love that when I have a migraine.
  • Our weather has been UNREAL its so nice, mid-80's, low to no humidity etc.
  • School starts a week from today. Praise the Lord.
  • I am starting a diet today. Too many self indulgent days leads to melzie having more headaches and being cranky.
  • I am very excited to be back to sewing again!
  • I am very excited school is starting!
And now, on to other things LOL

I am playing a meme found at Smoochiefrog's blog...

6 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT MELZIE-
~I tend to obsess. Like over stupid stuff. Or hooked on video games. Or foods. Or tv shows.
~I don't sew much because I am too intimidated by so many talented sewing bloggers.
~I don't mind to scrub my toilet. Actually I do it everyday. I'd rather scrub the toilet than wash a single dish. I hate washing dishes.
~I am nicer to my kids not at home. Something about being in this house makes my head want to explode.
~I am a yeller. :( I hate it and am trying to change this about myself.
~I am currently addicted to Insaniquarium. LOL and so are my kids.

If you read this I tag YOU let me know if you play along! xoxo melzie

Just a hello from me. We had a good day yesterday. We are trying out a different church more local to us, it went well. It is where Danny grew up going to church. But it has ZERO kids programs, it has about 17 members age 60+ and about 2 kids that come (grandkids I suppose). Danny has felt led to come back here and work on the kids ministry for a long time now, and gas prices gave us the push we needed. So I emailed the Sun. school director a couple weeks ago and gave her notice I was leaving my class. She wished us luck and seemingly no hard feelings. So I have been verrrrrrry negative about trying this church out (as have the kids) but I felt very very comfortable and very welcomed there, they also went on and on how nice it was to have us there. This is the church that even gave Jordan that benefit that one time, and they've kept him on their prayer list for years. So its so hard for me to leave a church that has a growing active youth/kids for one with nothing but like I told Jordan this way we'll get to pick and choose what we want to plan and do I guess LOL. And I did feel as though that is where God wants us :) So its all good.

So after church came home, cleaned the pigsty and was just about to get all puffed up because I wanted to go fishing but was apparently going to only get to clean today but got done in time to drown some worms, fish were not biting one bit. Then home, clean up and head to Wal-mart for groceries (ouch) and then home again, put stuff away and started the Will Smith movie I Am Legend. Some skeery parts thus far, we only got to the middle which has a very sad part :( Then had to get to bed. I am on early 8 hr days Mon-Thurs this week (hate it) then 11-4 Fri. only because the younger two have IEP meetings at school Fri. a.m. I have a hundred phone calls to make, meds to get refilled and need to start making summer checkup appts. for Lovey but no time at all :( But the weather is soooo gorgeous I can't stay frowny long LOL.

Kids are all fine, hubby is fine, I am fine but tired. Waiting on our gov't check to catch up lawyer, finish bankruptcy and move, this limbo is grating on our nerves some but hurry up and wait thats the story of my life LOL. Love to all, xoxo melzie
