Come on over and walk through life with me!  Lots has changed since I've written on here!

Blogation....

Please come on over to what will hopefully be my permanent home from now until....well....eternity. :) www.perrysparadiseshares.blogspot.com. Make sure to "follow" me there!

Favorite.

This is one of my mostest favoritest photos from the last month or so. This is our family frien, Jamie, and his Jaden.

I missed blogging yesterday. I've been sicky sick, thanks to the fact that Fred's closed their pharmacy early on Saturday, and I had to go without my high-dose medicine for three days. OMG. Never again. I remember when PiePie woke me up at 11 to see if I needed to take any meds before he went to sleep thinking that I hadn't blogged, and then thinking that I didn't care. I'm feeling somewhat better now, though, so hopefully I'll be back on track soon. :)

Hi!

Be.....patient.

Today's lesson, brought to me, by the letter "Bb". Not a fun lesson.

Proud.

This award was given to the Junior or Senior who had the highest GPA. We both about fell out of our chairs when his name was called. :)

Breathe

According to Merriam-Webster, the word "breathe" when used as a verb means to draw air into the lungs, to pause and rest before continuing, and to feel free of restraint.

Today is one of those difficult-to-breathe days, x10, and that is also following a long string of other difficult-to-breathe days, so guess what? Not the best scenario for the breathing-challenged girl here.

I find myself wishing for more time, more sleep...you know...those essentail things that your body needs to keep up with your mind. (Not that my mind is all that to begin with!) Mostly, I picture myself above the clouds, floating along in a plane, enjoying the hush of an airplane and the beauty of the sky and the land below that God created for us. And then, I try to remember that my life is in His hands, as are the lives of those I love. And as long as that is the case, I may as well just quit fretting and JUST BREATHE. (New tattoo asap coming with that one...)

Hoping for a better tomorrow....I get to see my family, so it has to be good, right? :)

A Pile of Love...

I am SOOOO tired!

Pillow Case

My next one is going to say, "My favorite day is Sundae."

His and Hers Mingos

Lookie what my mommy made for us! I will get better photos one of these days, but these were the best out of the 12 that I took. (GRRR!) ANYHOOOOOOO.....they are MOST awesome...especially since we have a necklace and a bowtie, and they are on our NEW Memory Foam pillows! Thank you, Mom and Dad!!!!!

This....

is my FAVE-O-RITE photo from the entire weekend, hands down. I think because I *know* that it was a true hug, a moment they didn't know was being caught for eternity...and I know how much they love and care for each other. I hope they remain friends like this for as long as they both are living on this earth.

I'm proud of you two, and I love you both! :)

Today....

I got to spend time with Navy....

...and my sisters.....

and my parents...but their photo did not show up, grrr.....

and my kiddos....who were all there, just Anna was not present at this moment:

to celebrate this: ...and it was a happy day.

The End.

Creations....

I would like to be creating creations! As soon as I get the energy. As soon as I get the time. OK, maybe never. BUT.....

tomorrow is an exciting day...so maybe that will help me find some energy to get up and do something besides be tired....we shall see. (Sorry for the photo....it was just a random one I could find that I don't think I've shared before.)

I have hope...

that I will feel better soon.

Chad, Kalani, Mark.

Let the good times roll.....

Yesterday's Feet...

yes. Those belong to me. :)

Tonight....

This is what I've been doing:

creating leopard spots! I'm not sure yet whether I am going to call this one done or not....the verdict is still out! I will be participating in a barn sale this fall that can be viewed here: www.thestrawberrypatchjunk.blogspot.com and this will go there if it has not already sold at the Butter Churn between now and then.

I've had a bad head/neck ache today, and I'm thinking that working on this tonight was maybe not the best decsion...what do you think? LOL. This table is maybe 14" longish and 12" widish. Those spots took me a total of (at least) 5 hours. Yup. I'm nuts. And the 2nd coat is not on the white part yet. I normally find this very theraputic....when my head/neck doesn't hurt! :)

At Perry's Paradise...

...you never know what you might find! We have a Puggle puppy, named Lucky. He is *Lucky* because Emma didn't eat him like she did his brothers and sisters. We have 11 Boxer puppies. And we have these.... 6 of them. Those are just the babies we have here right now...I'm thinking we could charge admissions and start a petting zoo! :)

If I were able, I would have a goat here for Kate for her graduation. She's always wanted one.

Happy...

It makes me happy that my good friend thought of ME when she saw this. I need to own it, doncha think? Gotta work on that.
