Good morning

Jer is ever so much better today.  He has a cold, and gets a bit weepy, but this I can deal with.   The no moving cuddly Jer was just icky yesterday.  Of course he shared with me that's what familys do ya know.

I sent my story idea's off to Fred (a man I write with)  and he took them and flew.  Now, I'm tweaking em and giggling.  That man has a imagination that just astounds me.   

This property we own is timber land.  And we were told we were supposed to have a forest management plan.  I'm researching this, and oh my is it giving me a headache.  LOL   There's a very cool course that can be taken to teach how, but its on a night Rob works and its for 3 months.   *bummer*   I'm actually contemplating looking around to see if there's something online I could do.  Of course I should just have somebody else do it, but this intrigues me, and would be something I could do at home.

I like stretching my brain, its why I write.  So, we shall see

Look nice clean white walls.  No more nasty wallpaper.  And I put my dolls up, and woo.  And this is my beautiful red wall.  And yes there's still a bit of touch-up I have to do.  I got rushed the last coat and made a major mess.  LOL  As soon as the paints dry I will tape the red, and redo that bit of white.

All in all its soooooo nice to have clean walls again.  I've bought curtain material, and some stencils to use as a back-splash when I get those up I'll share again.  But had to show my first steps of progress. 

Jeremiah isn't doing so hot today.  It was so bizarre Rob and I woke up at almost 8 this morning.   Jer has never slept past 7;15.  We immediately wondered what was up, but it was Awana last night.

Rob finally decided to go check...and he was just laying there quietly with his eyes open.  He picked him up, and now we know why.  He has a fever, he's puked, and he's coughed.  *sigh*  He be very sick.  And we can't find the theometer, and the local store is out of them (does that tell ya whats going around?)

The next closest store is 35 minutes away one way....so, trying to decide how badly I want to know what his fever is.  And where in the heck I "tucked" the stupid theometeter the last time I used it. 

Why did the elephant paint its toenails red?

To hide in the Cherry tree of course!

How did Tarzan die?

He was picking cherries. 

On a lighter note;  This is Jeremiah taken about ten minutes ago. 

Look here I am the person with bad taste.

Along with a half a bazillion other people.

Oh man, its been a morning. 

And I am so sick of it all.  

On the up news.  My kitchen is finally done being painted.  I found a burst of energy to get it done.   I have one teensy spot I need a ladder for.  And I will do it this weekend.   I am of course paying for it in a big way today, but I've been staring at the half done project for 2 months, and it was beyond depressing.

So, now its done.  *cheers* 

I have Awana today, and other then that I'm gonna lay low.

Oh, and Becky--yes I know weight issue is *part* of the problem.  But I'm literally unable to loose weight.   Its my thyroid crap.  The more I try...the more I gain.  I continue the battle, but it goes not well.   The good news is so far I haven't taken a huge weight jump because my thyroid completely snapped which its done about a year after each baby was born.  Although...it still could happen.  *argle*

I'm so frustrated these days.  I see something that could be great, and find myself beating my head over the little stupids that keep happening.  

And I'm just hanging on. 

A woman was on a plane that was suffering turbulance.  She was dealing with severe panic.   "I need someone to make me feel like a woman."  She announced in a loud voice.

A well built cowboy unbuckled and walked over to her.  He carefully and slowly removed his shirt and handed it to her.

"Wash that, and get me a cup of coffee."
