Favorite time of the day. It just doesn't last long enough!


I have CRS syndrome

When I get an idea for a blog I run to the computer like I have diarrhea! My husband laughs at me but literally if I don't write this shit down ( no pun intended) I forget it within minutes!  I need to research azltimers and see if I have it.


I had four ideas... and before I wrote down the 3rd I forgot the 4th.  I started trying to remember the 4th and then I forgot the 3rd!  So I am batting 50%.  I think that is a sign.



Eye Opener....

You never really know someone until you become friends with them on facebook.  Then you can see the real person!  Scary as hell!

I Don't Do Math

I think I was too lazy for my calling.  I love to write!  I love poetry, and books!  My imagination is endless! I love all the places you can go when you step into a book and just read your afternoon away!  I spend so much less on gas this way and my wardrobe consists of sweat pants and t-shirts.  


I love intrigue and suspense and finally admitting to yourself that you really love that person despite the fact they are blind, or a mere peasant!  I love how you think you know.... but in chapter 7 you found you didn't know.  I want to belong in the world of writing and I want to do it all the time!  It is an extremely 'put-off on the back burner' sort of hobby with me, especially today with how busy my life is! 


I would like to go to a far away place, in a cozy wooded area, and be left to my own devices... (and food, treats, bath stuff, my comfy robe, and phone) to just write away.  No interruptions, no problems.  No sassy people in my life trying to suck me dry!  (you know who you are).  My only problem with this is......I just hate English! 


Noun, pronouns, verbs, adjectives!  Spelling, Punctuation, GRAMMER!!!! UGH!  Just let me write! 


Had I studied in school, or even went to class for that matter, I might have found a love for it and studied harder.  But I hated school.  I regret that now.  I wish I could just go and take classes at a college that would benefit me in what my interests are now.  You know like hair stylist do!  But no.  Sadly that is not the case.  I would have to also do math.  I don't do math! 


One day I might just publish one of these FOUR books I have written so far, and I will tuck it neatly away on one of my many shelves of books.  But until then, I will keep my sweat pants handy and my kindle fully loaded and charged!

Three simple words made easier

I tell my husband I love him everyday... Like most people I suppose do.  Tonight, I get in bed and we joke around for a bit and as things settle I tell him that I love him, to which he replies... Mm-hmmm. ??????
I slap at him and confess that it bothers me when he does that.  I confront him, infact, and tell him he has done that a lot lately.  He said,  mm-hmmm is just so much easier to say! Wth?  Then he started telling me he loved me over and over, reminding me of Sheldon from Big Bang theory knocking on penny's door.   Now it's just annoying!

My sweet husband almost got his ears boxed

Dennis is making benches for the cellar.  He and I were discussing the size of the top of the bench.


Raven:  Well you gotta make it big enough to be comfortable to sit on.

Dennis:  This ain't the ritz! 


Raven: Yes, but it has to be bigger then a 4 inch bench! 


Dennis: Well how big does it have to be?? 


He then pulls the tape measure out and starts trying to measure my butt!  I quickly moved away from him laughing


Dennis:  I will have to go get more wood!

Our Human Race

I'm not saying I have intelligent things to say.  I'm not even saying I spelled intelligent right.  I am just saying that I have something of value to comment on.  I watched "12 years of Slaves" and it was so sad.  I am just not sure I could have lived in that time era.  I would have beat some white people down.  How did they ever believe that that was morally right or even ethical? I mean, besides the color of the skin, why do white people think they are better then any other race?  I am stunned by the ignorance of some of the people that movie portrayed last night.  You may say.."it was only a movie" To which I say, "Yes and Thank God"...  Because the realization of what really went on was even more barbaric!  It was worst, or at the very least in the same category as Hitlers BS.  I just really don't understand the stupidity of some of our human race.

And for the record... I am WHITE!  smh

What year is this?

I haven't really been writing on my blog in a while.  The last blog was in August 2013... WOW!  Six months is a long time with bottled up emotions!  I have probably lost my audience.  All three of you!  Well that saddens me.  If you reading this for the first time, go to my archives and get to know me.  I am not quite right in the head, and the sooner you realize that, they less you will expect from me as you read my blog. They ARE my thoughts and my ideas... opinions, all a rather scary past time for you to partake in.

Last August it was just fixing to get crazy for me.  I can remember thinking I couldn't wait until I got through all the beginnings of building the business. The painting, the ordering, the deocroating, classroom set up, sewing, the schooling and the paper work! Glad that is over!  It was rough!

Right when I was set to buy all my equipment, the government shut down.  My loan was sitting on someones desk without being signed or approved, and I was told by the banker to go ahead and use my credit card to buy my stuff.  So I did.  All THREE of them!  Can you say maxed out???   Then then the bills came in, he said the type of loan I got wouldn't pay that off because it was already a debt! WTH??  So my husband had to leave the bank before he hurt someone.  It was a BAD DEAL!!!  And my stress level was on high alert!  However, my husband.... my forever knight in shinning armor took care of it.  He just paid it all off.  He said screw the bank!

We worked really hard! Hours of painting, hours of getting forms ready, decorating, organizing,  and enrolling kids.   Now I am on the other side and seemed to make it unscathed.

Somewhat!

Now, I am in the process of going for my 3 star and I just started the food program.  No rest for the wicked! I have a full enrollment and a waiting list in 4 classrooms.  Not bad for being open for 4 months.... however, it seems like we have been open years longer.  Perhaps that has something to do with the amount of hours that I was working.  I worked 12.5 hour days for about 6 weeks.  Then I moved to a regular 10 hour day. Now, for the past month, I have been working a square 8 hour day.  That is an improvement! Maybe soon I will be able to work a 6 hour day!  Looking forward to that!  I am missing eating dinner with my family.

Now, I am just waiting for spring so I can sit on my back patio and finish writing my 3rd romance novel.
