I am allowed to bragg

What a beautiful day, full of sunshine and lots of mud. Day one of March has brought me much happiness and a cup that most definitely flowed over.

That black box that is across from our driveway, the bane of my existence some days, ok most days because it never ever has my freelance checks in there when it should. But today, it was my best friend, my very best friend and not because of a check.

A simple thick cream colored envelope with "The Parents of Krischan Miller" in beautiful Calligraphic handwriting. Hmmm, what is this...but I wait till I get in the house. I throw aside the rest of the junk, no checks, bahh. I open this beautiful envelope and my eyes grow wide and a smile as big as the world appears on my face.

"Honey, Listen to this!" I start reading the letter about how Krischan was nominated to participate in the "National Young Scholars Program" summer program in Chevy Chase Maryland!! I keep reading about how Krischan was chosen because of his maturity, achievement at school and leadership skills for one so young. My voice got caught in my throat and a few tears leaked from my eyes.

My Krischan!! a scholar!! Watch out everyone, I am going to be a completely unbearable mother in my moment of pride and love for my oldest. How cool!! so now we are on an adventure of how we are going to get him there and pay for it all.

Anyone need any design work done or Arbonne products?


Krischan got a big kick out of the fact that it was addressed to "Master Krischan". (Oh boy, is this house going to be big enough for all our heads?) He is so excited that he gets to spend a week away from home and can't decide what "discovery strand" he wants to partake in. CSI, The Human Body, Creative Construction, or the one that gives a sampling of all three.

check out my little scholar : )

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr...

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

The perpetual life of the unfinished project

My husband and I have not learned the most important message of "finish one project before you begin another." I have mentioned before that our house was not built the best, or even to code. So when we take on a project, we actually end up doubling the normal time it would take because we are fixing everything that we noticed wrong that needs redone. I don't know why we can't finish a project, I do know that Rick and I are easily distracted, or torn from something we are working on quit frequently...they come in three's. Let me take you on a little tour: This is our pantry door. The door was replaced, but the trim hasn't made it back up around the door. It has been like this for about 3 years. (notice the holes in the wall? the huge one was from Krischan hanging on the coat hook that was there and ripping it out of the wall. The other holes are from me removing the other coat hooks in wanting to move them to another wall, which has not been done as of yet....
