May is 1/2 Way Over & New Addition to the Family
May is half way over...
We have a new addition to the family... She was born yesterday 5lbs 140z ... She is gonna be so so spoiled Everyone is totally delighted it's been a while since there's been a new born in the family.
I'm experimenting today.. I threw together a meatloaf mixture and put it in my Slow Cooker I've never made meatloaf in a Slow Cooker I hope it works. If not it was worth a shot. We've made it on the grill but never the Slow Cooker.. So hopefully it will be fine...

Happy Cinco De Mayo
Today is Cinco de Mayo.. I remember in grade school when they use to have us do what they called May Day dances. School was so different for me than my girl it's funny that it keeps on changing and changing Ah to be young again what I wouldn't give to be a child again with all the experiences of life I've experienced and learned from so since you can't go back in time it's just onward and forward. I love Mexican food so maybe will have something like soft tacos or who knows what it is this is a scheduled post and not sure I'll feel like cooking maybe it will be a piece of toast with peanut butter lol you just never know.

Monday Monday
Well it's Monday... they seem to come faster and faster I can't believe in less than 30 days 1/2 the year will be gone.. Each day seems shorter and shorter never long enough..
Anyways..
Not feeling well once again this a.m was really bad,I hate vomiting..., but I'll get back up dust off and hopefully get back to where I was last week it took a while to get there I hope it doesn't take as long this time.
I need to get back to my 10 minutes a day throw out something or bag it for Goodwill I haven't done it in two weeks.
I'm hoping that I will be scrapping again by September / October I don't really see it happening before then. Maybe some miracle will occur but for now I'm on break from it.

Clutter to DeClutter a few way to help
Well recently doing a lot of reading and researching on the subject Clutter... Here is a just a few things that have really helped me a lot.
1) Many of us collect Magazines and have oddles of them. Get some page protectors you don't need to save the whole Magazine tear the pages that you just can't give up and put them in a binder. Hobbies, recipes , articles,?
With the rest of the magazine you can offer your lot on freecycle for others to take advantage of or donate them to hospitals , organizations always are looking for donations this way it doesn't go in the trash. Or you can put them in a recycle bin
2.) Drawers Give yourself an assignment take a time frame and take one drawer at a time take the whole drawer out put the stuff that doesn't fit or you will never wear again in a bag keep the bag by the dresser till you are completely done with it.. Fold and organize everything and you will have more room.
There are many places that leave donation bags at your front door for free pick up and there is alway Good Will and Shelters that need clothings and these things Donate instead of throwing it away.
3.) Closet give yourself some time even if your getting ready in the morning and you pass over something you know your not gonna wear it..Keep a trash bag by the closet start taking 5-10 minutes going thru it you will be amazed in just a weeks time what you get rid of and the extra room you have.
4.) Paperwork you can do this while watching t.v. Get a box or bag and start putting the papers in there that you don't need then either take it to a ups store to shred or if you have a shredder then go ahead and shredd them as you pass by the shredder then you dont' jsut have to sit there for hours.
5.) Mail. Find a location one location and when you come back fromt he mail box put your mail there sort thru junk and throw out the rest of it Everyone has a system but if you keep it in one place nothing gets forgotten.
6.) Kitchen Go thru cabinets and keep a box or trash bag in there If you are missing lids and such get rid of the stuff you haven't used in a year i.e bowls , glasses, accessories... A lot of families downsize once the children have left how many bowls and plates does only two people need. Again Shelters is a great place so that some of these people can get back on their feet.
7.) Your trash is always someone elses treasure.. Don't keep broken items if you haven't fixed them in six months most likely your not gonna use it or fix it get rid of it its' taking up space.
8.) Less clutter makes you feel good when you don't have stuff stacked up etc. Shoes got thru because you don't wear them you should keep them.. I know my self I have shoes so cute but they give me blisters and hard to walk in so why do I want these I dont' anymore just last week I did this phase.. of shoes they are cute and in great shape but if your feet are miserable and such why are you keeping them when they aren't worn.. Again Donate them to goodwill and or a shelter etc.
9.) If your a reader.. Trade books with friends this saves money to and or donate them to a library or take them to stores that you leave a book and take a book they have a lot of stores like this in various places of the world. Once you've read for casual reading chances are you are not gonna read it again. Recipes and self help and diet well those are reference books and keep those to go back for future reference it's the easy reading that you don't usually read more than once.
10.) Pantry go thru if you have a can goods maybe know you are allergic or just don't care for it etc. Then go thru in May the post office usually has a drive to help the less fortunate with dry foods and cans go thru the stuff in your pantry and get it ready to donate when the post office has their pick up day or there is many places that have food drives, churches that give to families that are less fortunate there is many things you can do with this. Then organize your pantry so that you know what you have and put the oldest in front and the newest to the back.
11.) Time many of us say we don't have time to do this It's what you make yourself the time to do many don't like to clean and or do this deeper type of declutter and that was the number one answer don't have time.. You can block out 10 minutes in a day or a week even depending how you feel about clutter. You can do these things as you are getting ready for something you can do this during a commercial if your watching t.v. whent he commercial comes on then go thru that drawer during the commercials or go thru the magazines, or anything you want to.
12.) The garage as well Many of us use them for storage but really when you haven't used the item in many years why are we storing them especially if it's a broken item DONATE IT ..
13.) Some of us may never move and some of us may move this helps so much when it does come time to move you've got a lot less to do come move day.
14.) If you are looking for items Free Cycle is a great place to see if you are also looking to get rid of any item this is a great place to get rid of it.
15.) Hobbies there is so many different hobbies have a place section corner, room ,space, whatever it may be. When you bring something home make sure it' has a place or create the place for the new item It's much easier that when you come home and do this rather than sticking it in a drawer and forgetting about it and or keeping all the bags for it....
Well anyways there is plenty more and I have to say that a lot of these methods work.. I know that I have a dresser that when I was done I had two completely empty drawers .. My shredding is being done and so many other things.. I'm really feeling good about the magazines, books and other items I've been glad to donate as well I am happy to help others.

Sewing I'm just Amazed
I remember when I was young my mom use to make most of mine and my sisters outfits.. Then she kinda stopped sewing and hasn't in many years.. I have always had an interest in making a quilt and I have a fetish for Totes and I love cooking aprons. Last year I was amazed a good friend of mine made these adorable little dresses that hang over a stove for decoration so so cute with fabric and a kitchen towel... There is just so many things people are making these days , journals, totes, purses, wristlets, blankets... I am intrigued and hope that someday I can pick it up and take some lessons I would love to I used to have tons of fabric but when I moved had sold it I love all the varieties of crafts and the things people are inspired these days doing. I hope that some day I'll be able to get into sewing it's been something that I've tried but not been the best at..Crocheting I love it but no matter what it just seems the stuff never comes out and it never straight etc.. but oh well I'll keep trying till I master it.. My aunt just got into sewing and has upgraded her machine 4 times in about 8 months her daughter use to make these adorable little baby quilts with a pillow type roll up so adorable but my cousin has no interest in them she loves to cross stitch and is really good at it.. So many different hobbies.. Anyways I'm just amazed at the sewing and I'm hoping for me to be able to get into sometime in the future.. I just want everyone that I see your blogs projects and so on..that I love it all.. I'm so intrigued.. Happy, sewing, cardmaking, crocheting, knitting, jewerly making, no matter what you do.. I have tried to do beading but need a few more lessons in the future.
Well Happy Crafting ...

Moving Again omg this poor kid ......
April is here and it's flying by
My poor daughter had to move once again but I'm hoping this is for a while it seems she got a great deal on a cute little house by work not more than five minutes how about that one that's great. So she will at least save on gas which is a big killer for her. She is looking to pick up something part-time in the summer to help get her back on her feet as well. She will have a roommate so that's great the people are even putting in a refrigerator for them I was so relieved. I know she has bedroom stuff but it's gonna take time for the rest of it her roommate has items to so I'm sure that at least there is a roof over her head that's all she cares about right now she is happy about that.
There isn't a lot that goes on in April beside the big kick in the gut of our taxes being due.. Ugh. I have a lot of Spring cleaning to do I am gonna yes get rid of more stuff meaning paperwork, dust collectors , old clothes, shoes(why if they give me blisters am I saving them cause they are cute) magazines, I mean it was not to long ago we moved and so basically I need to gut that type of stuff our closet was completely packed head to toe so I'm hoping that it won't be I'm gonna go thru some pictures to throw out ones that are no good, clear that type of stuff so no more lugging that stuff around. Two people only need so many bowls, plates etc.. I have this salad cutter thing that we bought at a fair so many years ago because they made it so beleiveable how easy it was to use only to find out that it was not and then the clean up.. It's pretty sharp etc.. so out that goes to I seen it taking up room in the cabinet the other day. I want to lighten the load As we are in very small quarters which is fine but I really would just like to have what we use and need. I've learned a lot thru the years of having to much it finally has come to a head.
anything that doesn't fit is going to unless it's a small size then yes I will keep it cause I'm on a downward spiral for a change for weight so I will need smaller clothes yes indeed I will The bigger ones well I won't need those because I'm not gonna grow back into them.
Well hopefully you will get the spring bug to get some of your unwanted things out I'm finding this method of 20 minutes is making a difference it doesn't seem like it but after a week I've noticed a huge difference. I read that if you just see one thing take it out with you to the trash on the way to work and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

anything that doesn't fit is going to unless it's a small size then yes I will keep it cause I'm on a downward spiral for a change for weight so I will need smaller clothes yes indeed I will The bigger ones well I won't need those because I'm not gonna grow back into them.
Well hopefully you will get the spring bug to get some of your unwanted things out I'm finding this method of 20 minutes is making a difference it doesn't seem like it but after a week I've noticed a huge difference. I read that if you just see one thing take it out with you to the trash on the way to work and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Taking it day by day
Life for me is day by day right now.. I haven't been able really to talk on the phone and etc I am overwhelmed and have lots to figure out and such.In March decided to pack up my scrap stuff it's one thing that thouroughly gives me joy in the world and therapy but at the same time I am overwhelmed with life and don't have the time patience or mojo to get it done. So unless I have some miracle happening to me by the time I posted this in March and now won't be seeing to much scrap pictures from me at all.. I do have a lot of scheduled posting for the rest of the year.. You just never know what tomorrow brings so at least till the end of the year I have hi-lighted a few things.I wish I could have had a open garage sale with some of it lol.. but oh well that is not the way it is.. Hopefully I can someday soon get back to what I love doing.. Although I have way to much paper I hope that somehow I will still be able to use it.. Omg do I have paper.. sinful sinful ... I'm trying to be optimistic about the whole outcome of it all but right now that's very hard..I want to thank you for calls and such If I haven't gotten back to you it's just very hard right now for me to do many things as simple as a phone call.. Anyways... won't be much scrappiness going on for a bit... I wish I was closer to all you scrappy girls so you can come and get the paper I know you would put it to good use hopefully it will keep good in storing it. ?Well anyways I hope all finds you well and that you keep me and my family in all your Prayers.

April Fool's Day and Happy April
Well I won't be on any type of internet today at all that virus is pretty scarry but I hope it's just a hoax and that nothing happen to anyone.
Another month already April showers bring May Flowers which will be here before I can even imagine.
Actually I won't on to much internet at all.. We are down to one computer with internet access and I am getting some organizing and things done... I have some pictures to weed thru I'm lugging them around and some dont' make sense they are not clear or anything so why do I have them. So I will be sitting trying to do that every little bit of time and throwing the ones out that not focus or make sense etc.. I probably have 1000 photos that are no good but you hate to throw them out.. The ones that are just old and faded I' will keep it's all I have from the 110 days and the disc and so on this is just pictures that maybe I'm thinking that won't be scrapped or like I said there is just a black shot of nothing or so blurry what ya gonna use it for.?
Anyways... like I said I posted till the end of the year I will come on live here and there but for now
I'm needing to focus on just me , DH and work it's all I should be focusing on.. So the internet consumes a lot of my time it's addiction like my scrapbooking...was...
I've been really good Ice tea is not daily anymore at all it's occasion and a treat. Coffee I'm 10 days now with no coffee it will be a treat I'm making a lot of changes in my life I want to finish concentrating on my weight as well. As I said DH has lost 60lbs and still on his way down. I am working on it with him...
I'm trying also take 20 minutes a day to get something done in the house a drawer , a piece of the closet, paperwork , something I think this will help a lot to.. It's amazing when you look and say why am I keeping this etc.
So for now especially with the prank virus Im not willing to take that chance to be on the internet and get wiped out dont' need that stress so and today I have month end quarter and so many things going on its' riduculous.

Last Day of the Month
Well today we celebrate Jenny's birthday oh how I miss that wise O' gal she always had a way to bring us good luck and help us thru the bad. Today is her birthday we celebrate all the greatness of knowing her and having her been part of my life at least. Today is a sad day for Sonia as she so misses her mom every day she aches for her i wish I could make it all better for her but there is no cure for it.. I still see her from time to time I think it's just the ray of hope and sunshine one needs.
Today is also Tammy's Birthday she's another year old today and yes she is still younger than me by a month and 7 days but oh what the hec huh. Have a great day.
Today I send Cyber hugs to my Dearest friend Sonia who each and every day misses her mom but puts a smile on her face when she still deeply misses her .. It took her quit a while to function after this happened. She did everything for her mom while she was sick It all pays forward they say I'm hoping for many healthy happy years for her and her family. Her mother was her best friend it's always tough to lose your Mom/Best friend her mom was amazing and always put her kids first and foremost well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because Sonia does this for her children they are the most important aspect of her life. I am grateful to know both these fine ladies.

Monday Monday
Well it's the last Monday in March...
Today is Bob 's Birthday and tomorrow is the last day of the month.
It's the end of the quarter and so much is so uncertain still
I am so done with the unknown.
Keno and Reno have settled well in their new home, but lately I have been missing them again and so has DH maybe that's why I've been thinking of them a lot cause he's been talking a lot about them these days. If it's possible they are more spoiled than when we had them. The new owner is just a gem.. A real blessing.
Amanda on the move again hopefully she'll be put for a while this place is real close to her work so I think that 's a great thing. She 's almost done with this semester of school I'm sure she's glad I think she's taking the summer off as well. She loves summer vacation.
Happy Monday one and all.

Sunday Live
A real live post on a Sunday here. Working today but that's ok... I am having a good day today Last 48 hours has been weird for me I can't explain it all I know is that I'm glad today I feel a lot better than I have been.
I read last nite which I haven't been able to sit and read for a long time. So I'm hoping to read a coupe pages a day or a few times a week I am challening myself as well to do a cleaning project 20 minutes a day for a bit at least 5 days small projects so that something is complete.
We need to do so much spring cleaning boy I want to clear hubby's clothes after losing about 60 lbs his clothes are hanging on him. Congrats to him I am so proud of him.. I'm stuck at 30lbs but I will get past it.. I've got some good moral support and learned maybe a couple new tricks over the weekend. So that is what I'll be doing for the month of April it's gonna be declutter & I will bag it for Goodwill what I need to rid .. Having sometimes less around makes you feel good So I will see if I can get things where there isn't to much there.. I think in the long run it's gonna make a huge difference in my life.
I have a dilema with a cookbook that before my MIL passed she gave to me it's one that she got back in 1944 so it's a antique. I feel that it should be airloomed on hubby's side of the family to one of the paternal granddaughters She gave it to me because I was always cooking & spent her last six months of her life with her taking care of her everyweekend but two of those weekends during her battle with cancer. She says well probably no one would be interested in it so I could go ahead and have it, but after her death there was a couple questions about the cookbook I explained that it's was about six months before she past and it was in storage for the time being we were in transit at the time. I know there was dissapointment I don't want a daughter in law to have it. (She only had three sons no daughters) I think a granddaughter but again only if it will be cherised and respested as an airloom.. This is real tough deceision and making the decision of who would be right for it is another one.? Geez. She also gave me a book with her 50th wedding pictures which I am gonna give to one of my nieces who is interested in her heritage I think it's the right thing to do with those.. We have pictures from the event and this book was made by another family member so I think with that I shall give it still has many of the cards etc.. so I will do that.
Will see I will sit and stew a bit on it.
Happy Sunday it's the last of the month I can't beleive April is around the corner here..

Scrap is on it's way to Az.
Well 80% of my scrappy stuff is on it's way to Az.. I will keep you posted as most of it is for sale and I know all the scrappy girls can't resist a bargain I know for me it's that way to. There is plenty of things and some great kits that are being made so more details soon...
There will be everything you can imagine in a Scrapstore.. but at a discounted rate.
But not all of it cause I'm still gonna scrap the stories that I need to provide my family with but this will help keep it in better control... for the future
I could not have done it without two great Scrappy Friends Jenn and Del they dropped everything and came to the rescue to help There is absoutely no words to express the gratitude for the help they have provided me so that I could focus on the other aspects of work and such that I need to be doing.
Teresa will be helping them sort and put together and cordinate and storing some of the things for me she is the queen of space... organizing and to jump in and help
All I can say is a big THANKS to the 3 of you
I just am speechless right now with no words if most of you know me I always have something to say right now I am just full of prayers it's all that 's on my mind day and nite I will pay it forward at sometime as I have in the past.

Scrappy Mojo
My Scrappy Mojo is not around I wish it were I have so so much I want to do which is leading me to want to pack up my scrap stuff and put it away so that I won't be looking at it yearning to do it but can't. It will be a lot of work to put it away and to pull it out that's the thing Maybe I should just fill up a tote and keep that in the house but then there is that oh I wish I had this or that. Then I'm thinking I need to sell a few things use what I have oh so many decisions just thinking out loud right now. I'm afraid to sell some of it cause there was a reason I bought it in the first place you know. Anyways thats the dilema of the day.
I am most grateful for friends coming all the way frm Arizona to come and get it for me see what they can get rid of and store for me. I have no idea how to repay for it.. I just know that I will pay it forward someday. I know I have in the past but right now I can barely help myself in life at this very moment. I appreciate them giving me hope & I'm hanging on because of it.
Thanks girls did I ever say that Scrappy friends make the best of friends.. It hink I have in the past well they do..

It's begginning of March and I have a ton of postings till the end of the year yes you heard me right .. I will probably add as time goes on but right now I have been so busy with work, my health ,husbands health that I can't do as much as I use to. I was looking things up and found the simple meaning for friendship but yet I know that all of us having different versions and think different things for friendship I'd like to hear your version of the meaning of friendship. There is so many different kinds I'd be interested in hearing.?
Friendship here is the meaning in the webster online Dictionary.?
Main Entry:
friend·ship
Pronunciation:
\ˈfren(d)-ˌship\
Function:
noun
Date:
before 12th century
1: the state of being friends2: the quality or state of being friendly : friendliness3obsolete : aid
Now it's short and simply what is your version of friendship?
I think I'll think of another word cause June is kinda empty for postings.

Tiny bit of Scrap from scraps
This layout is mostly all scraps The sheet above I have another piece for the second page if I find the rest of the pictures I know they are close cause I did these was a fun page and Amanda is happy that some of her younger pictures are scrapped I was always afraid to get them done but hey no time better than the present although on some I am glad that I waited. I have a lot more to do not scrapping all pictures but do still have lots and lots of events and time frames to get thru. It is important for her to have these so I'm trying really hard to get them done for her. More to come soon I hope.

Weight Loss Finally
Well Finally I'm starting on a downward motion again.. I have cut out my tea I only now have it for a special time. It's been rough I still love the stuff dearly but I'm hoping that's what 's helping with the loss of my weight.. I am down to one cup of coffee a day instead of the pot or 1/2 pot so this probably has a big thing. I wasn't drinking a lot of anything for the last 3-4 weeks so probably that's why I would just stay the same I was becoming very frustrated about staying the same as hubby spirialed downwards. So now from the last time I went to the doctor I bought a scale I been trying to weight myself daily like she said to and he does to cause his doctor told him the same thing. So since the last time I'm down six pounds.. I'm hoping to break 10 by month's end.. More water I know will do the trick but last nite I feel asleep where it says you can become water logged to.. so your darned if you do and darned if you don't.. Anyways here 's to hopefully shedding a few more of those unwanted pounds..

March 18 Wed Hump Day
Well I have quite a few of my posts scheduled for a while. Every so often hopefully I'll have time to do something or pictures to edit and add.. It's always that much more fun to see the pics. In the meantime.. I'm still here just have a heavy load I'm working thru it day by day thanks for all the loyal support and emails and calls.
Saturday was just the most awesome so so much was done.. Sonia was almost just about a life saver omg I didn't want her to go home we didn't get it all done but we did acompolish a lot and I feel quite sane due to this. She and I worked together for 18 years and that's how we meet you would not have know that at all you'd think we had been friends from grade school. We have been thru so much and back She doesn't like to drive to far so her coming was the greatest thing I owe her Bingo game with me we use to play Bingo all the time it was so so much fun..There was a time we were afraid to leave the Bingo hall because we had won four times we use to split if we won and people were whispering and not all that happy the wealth was not being spread around boy do I miss stuff like that but someday.. I did find a bingo place close to the house pretty inexpensive but it's not the same to go by yourself.. Now that yet I move waaaaaaaaay over here it's harder to do anything with anyone.. I use to be a driver and travel it didn't matter where.. Hec I remember back in the day I practically use to stay at her house each weekend when I first had Amanda ah those where the days
I am optismistic that no matter what happens it can only go uphill from there. I just need to keep the faith continue to pray.
I know that when the time is right Marion or Jenny will strike I just know it. I hope sooner than later.

Happy St Patty's Day
Happy Green Day..
My Mother in law use to love St. Patty's day we use to try and always have cornbeef n cabbage with her.
DH cannot have either to much salt in the cornbeef and cabbage is a no no with his medication so we will Skip the cornbeef and cabbage this year
He's doing really well his lull has lifted and he started a new downward spiral for his weight loss.
He is starting to feel better it's just a day by day thing..

Another Month is coming to an end
I just can't beleive that another month is coming to an end that's for sure. Craziness I say it was just Xmas the older I get the faster it seems to fly by. I did hear from the new dogs owner that she is totally in love with them and she is crazy about having them it sounds from the email that she spoils them more than we did but it tickles my heart to know they are being well cared for they do deserve it.
Well right now I have a lot going on so I have scheduled a few blog posts so that it would be lonely.
Happy March

Last Photos of Keno and Reno
This is Keno while we are packing all them items
This is him while we were almost to Buckeye they are such good travelers 
Reno insisted on being on my lap and sleeping he has been so clingy the last 4 days before we gave them away
Here is their stuff packed up and not to mention they had two more bags in the car with toys and things He had no clue but he was going away for good just breaks my heart his picture.Last of my photo's but not memories The lady emailed me today to let me know how she loves the dogs and all the stuff she is doing so it's like they didn't even miss home. I thought they would be mopey but I guess they can weather any storm together those two that was my biggest fear is for them not to be seperated It was really important to me that they at least stay together it was already gonna be a broken heart. I know that they won't forget us I miss them more than they miss us.. Here is a couple cute pics of them so now it's so long farewell at least hearing from the lady that they were making her happy and that she can see why they need to be together was great news!.

Brothers settling in New Home
Well today the boys are in their new home.. We had them summer cuts done Thursday so they would be all pretty and easy to adapt to the new weather. Sure gonna miss the little guys before we took them they just would not leave my side just wanted to sit on my lap we didn't take them to with us for two days so they could be use to being home by themselves They are so so spoiled
Keno does not like photo's but here he is sitting by his Dad with his jacket was a little nippy at nite
Reno got a scarf but DH got there in time to save Keno but he wanted it off Keno just loves his brother
Reno a little fuzzy but was really cute jumping at the camera
Keno with the would you get that camera out of my face but he's so cute his eyes look big Little bug is really gonna be hard looking at all the photos' but they are all good happy memories and who knows maybe someday they will come back ?
Reno has no problem with the photos when I call him but Keno always avoids the flash It's gonna be an adjustment as a lot of things have been lately but there is some reason for the changes that are made I don't know what they are at this time but all I can say is that I hope it's good change sometimes one door closes and another opens I don't know why the door has to close with these cute guys but will see. They are going to a great home I was so worried about it I think they will be home sick for a couple weeks but they will adjust to the new spoiling I know that if we went back in three months those dogs would remember us. I don't want to hear anything bad so it's best probably not to know what's going on with them I would be saddened if I knew that Keno slipped under a fence and didn't come home or anything. Keno is the adventous one loves to wonder chase and go go go that little one Reno is the lazy boy loves to rest and relax. They both have such different personalities the one thing is that I know Keno needs his brother we have seperated them before and Keno is so miserable Reno was even happy to see him.. Reno loves to go under the bed and hide from him and Keno will bark at the end of the bed till he comes out. So many fun things they do but you have to be there to appreciate them or understand I guess We all love the things our Pets do. I am just very thankful they will be well taken care of. I just wish there was a way we didn't have to do this I know it's a lot harder on me than it is on them.

It's Friday & we are off and running
This guy feeling good finally He loves these little guys below. I think it's gonna be hard for him for about two weeks emotionally I just hope not to much His heart can only take so much.
Little Keno
My boy Reno
Sweet Keno after a hair cut on his fav blanket made by his sister
AFter a bath they run around and around like a couple nuts it's comical to watch
No more pictures Mom pleaseWell if you are reading this we are on the road taking Keno and Reno to their new home. Boo Hoo
DH have some Dr appts today but for lab work ups so then we are off to give up the dogs Yes it was a hard decision a lot of crying and lots of sadness I feel but the guys are going to a home where they love Shih Tzu 's and will be well taken care of it's almost as if they know what's going on because they have just been so lovable more so the last week. My husband cannot do the walking uphill He's suppose to walk but not uphill the dogs take about 2-3 hours a day of time he doesn't always feel well these days We had decided this back in January and here we still are with them because it was just something he thought well maybe so here we went thru Feb one day he was hanging on the fence cause he felt like passing out not a good thing I put my foot down and says this needs to be done he was suppose to have them gone when I came home from Sedona but I know he was seeing if he'd feel better but he doesn't So it's best to give them to someone they have a bedroom of their own already which I told the lady doesn't matter cause they always want to be in the room you are in. She is very excited she had been asking Amanda since she had to give up Jax if your parent's want to sell their dogs .We are not taking money for them, not selling them all we ask is that they provide a good home which they do. I obtained all their records and they are getting a grooming on Wednesday they will be in a home. /
We did have a couple people they wanted them but one was a seperation Reno could handle it but not his brother Keno loves his brother when we take one and not the other they can't wait to see the other one they have not been seperated since birth and they are gonna be 15 months old on Friday. Good thing they travel well I have packed their things so off they will go I will think of them often and I don't have a ton ton of pictures of them I will take some before they go I will miss them horribly but right now my focus on Dh getting better whatever it takes. He tried to put up a front but he finally has caved and says that he can't take care of them the way they need to be now if we had a yard that would be one thing but we only have a one bedroom place that is small and it's hard to keep them locked up there all the time. We are lucky they come with us during the day as it is. We spend a ton of time with them so the first two weeks I probably will be a wreck. I want what's best for them someone to give them the love , life they deserve. We treat them as if they are our kids they are totally spoiled we get made fun of a lot but it's ok.. Like putting their sweaters in microwave to warm up when it's cold and putting their blanket they layon in the dryer when it's cold small things but we love our pets So we are off to drop them off in their home say goodbye it's gonna be a rough weekend. Plus I have a lot lot on my plate right now it's more than I can handle I have created a list and priortized it so I will knock it off one by one.. To be normal again someday I can only hope.

Wednesday March 4th
Here is a lunch photo they always plated up our food nicely for us in Sedona
Here are some layouts and random photo
Breakfast in the a.m. Peach French Toast
I love scheduled blogging especially with my crazy schedule as it is I can't beleive how time is flying. Dh is doing better he's not as tired but he's still not feeling good but I'll tell you what he gets up everyday as if nothing is wrong and trys to fight it all off.
I have to take better picture of my layouts than what I have on camera they didn't come out well one was laziness in page protectors and the other in a hurry when they werent' I can't crop them right without them being slanted or cutting off something.. So soon soon I have to do a few things will be busy thru the weekend Just hoping for things to change soon for the better
Happy Wednesday all.

Some layouts done in Sedona
Yes actually Debbie took a count of all the pages we all did as a group and the total was quite impressive
Here is a couple of mine to share at the moment.
This first one is a challenge Angelina gave to use at least three punches on your layout
The stars are a punch I used a 1/8 hole punch to put the brads in the holes along sie and the Sunstone is punched out of an oval scallop punch.
This one is a bling challenge issued by Kristi
I supppose this one fits in the bling challenge as well.
So more coming this is just a few I need to go in and edit them somehow it's going to Picasa and I have a hard time using that I have to practice I don't know how to get my microsoft going with these that's easy peasy for me using that one. Some more to follow but this is just proof that indeed we did work up in SedonaWednesday, February 25, 2009
