Earthquake...

We had an earthquake this morning. REally???? Here in my town it sounded like a huge explosion. I was just finishing up breakfast when it hit. I thought it was a gas or house explosion. It was loud and continued on for about 10 seconds. Wow!! I liked a friend's comment on facebook...

"...is happy you're OK! A reminder that Jesus will come in the twinkling of an eye! Blessings & Love!"

Have a great week!! No more earthquakes please!! O:)

Sewing Advice,,,

Allergies, Achoooo!!!!

Allergies are really getting to me this year. I usually don't have much trouble while my husband is usually always miserable. I heard this has been the worst year ever in Oklahoma for allergies. Yea!! They said on the news that it is because the trees bloomed so early this year. I don't think I have ever been so "sneezy" in all my life. Why does it seem worse at night too? You know, you lay your head down to go to sleep then you wake up at some point and can't breathe through your nose. I try flipping over and then I can't breathe through the other side and the battle goes on and on. I'm sorry for those that constantly deal with allergies!! Achoo!!

First Day of Spring

So much for our first day of spring!! The day before this snow hit it was about 70 degrees outside. Oh well, it looks like a good day for sewing!!

Brrrr

Just posting a picture of some of the ice that came through with our last winter snow storm. This was looking out of one of our side windows. The kids were able to return to school finally. They will have to do make up days for some of the ones they missed. Now we are expecting to get more snow tomorrow...BRRRRRR!!!!

Love is In The Air

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but it has been quite busy around our house.We had an interesting ending and beginning to the new year also.

We got snowed in for Christmas but it was really a blessing. We couldn't go anywhere so we had our own little family Christmas. We missed visiting with other family members but most were not able to arrive into town anyway. It was so nice to have a quiet Christmas eve with just my husband and kids!! We pretty much had a blizzard. I don't think the snow melted off for a month either. Quite a mess. We always do wish for a white Christmas and this year we got our wish. The kids had a ball building snowmen and pelting me with snowballs.

I am quite the mushy person. I am already looking forward to Valentine's Day. I am looking for some cute things to make with the kids. I love searching for things on Etsy. Have you ever visited Etsy? I love it!!

Ouch!!

I am not sure what came over me this week like it wasn't busy enough already. Monday I decided to go to the base and get my free swine flu mist. Got there, no line!! Woo Hoo!! As I was sitting there I was reading the signs on the wall and it came to me that I had not had a tetanus shot in about 12 years or even longer. I decided to get that too while I was there. It's a good thing we only need them every 10 years. Today is Friday and I still have a huge painful lump in my arm. I forgot how bad these shots can hurt and linger hurting!! The guy that gave it to me did a wonderful job as far as I could tell. I never even felt the needle enter my arm. Well, about 5 seconds after that I could feel the hurting. It has been hard to sleep at night cuz I can't lay on that side very well unless I do some arm contortions so I don't press on that area. Why is it that when you have a painful area, everyone in the family is drawn to hugging that area or hitting it? Ouch!! Well, anyway it really hurts. Do I sound like I could use some sympathy?

Needless to say, with all the school activities, Christmas parties, and painful shots, I haven't sewn much but I am going to very soon!!!! I need to sew, it's my escape!! XOXO
