(Not so) Wordless Wednesday

So much going on.

Things are always busy around here, but things have been a little crazy lately. Out of control Drama Queen. Always wanting her way & always being angry. Not really sure what to do to reach her & change things. It kind of wears you down. Being a Mom is so hard. She does dance & is in Daisies. Soon she will be doing t-ball. April-June. Then she wants to try cheerleading. I'm glad she is trying different things & enjoying it & meeting some new friends too. So this week hasn't been so great. Hopefully next week will be better.

5 Things

 

1. I didn't have the chicken pox till I was 27.
2. I lived with my parents till I was 29 (I couldn't afford my own place & didn't find a roomie till I was 29. Hubby lived with his parents till he was 30)
3. I never broke a bone or sprained anything (I'm wicked clumsy too)
4. I hate talking on the phone. I avoid it whenever I can.
5. I don't text. I have Tracfone & if I read or send a text, they take 30 minutes (units) off.

Favorite corner in my house

 

This is my fave corner in our house. We have a guest room that is also my craft room. People stay over, but usually sleep on the couch in the living room or on an air-mattress. So it's mostly my room. I blog & craft in there. It's cozy. I'd like to add some little white lights to the top of the desk. I think white lights look so cute, even if it isn't Christmas time.
