Wow! Whats going on?

With blogger? It seems its been close to a week eh?
For some reason I was getting errors opening blogs, I couldnt close out my browser and pages werent fully loading!

I think a few bloggers had posted about it but I thought the issue would be resolved by now!

I just finally switched from IE to Firefox! I couldnt take it anymore. I wasnt able to post or anything. I can now fully load blog pages without any errors or bogged down load time:)

I can not believe its almost June. Where does the time go?

We had a great long weekend. Hit a few garage sales on Saturday and got some wooden items that I will paint and add to my pile of "gotta find a place for". I have a BUNCH of GW and garage sale find pictures to post, hopefully I can get to them this week.

Did you all have a nice Holiday?

Here are a few pictures of the lake and around the yard...........

Well, so much for that! I cant upload any pics. Im gonna figure this out and be back!

Mothers Day GOODIES!

First let me thank you all for your prayers for Domonic.

His surgery lasted only 5 minutes, but it was the longest 5 minutes of my life!
He was released within 2 hours and was up running and playing by 3pm! Back to being a little boy:)




Everyone have a good Mothers Day? I see little Ava was welcomed on Saturday, congrats to you and your family Kath. Shes beautiful!!!!!
What an AWESOME Mothers Day gift eh?

We didnt do too much, my brother and his wife and family came over Sat to celebrate Kindles and Jasons birthday and drop off my newest "piece" edition.




This is hubby and my niece Emma




Sunday was an AWESOME day! My first Oriole of the year and he continued to visit my suet feeders throughout the afternoon. Last year he stopped for a few seconds and that was it! I STILL cant get over how vibrant his color is!




Ya like that lil sneak peak of my newest piece of furniture?
My brother Nick made this for me and I just love it!
Im just about done painting and its ready for my kitchen!










Its actually a big piece, it doesnt look that big painted.


WOW, is it my camera or do you guys notice it takes a LONG time uploading pics on here?

Spring at my house!

Has FINALLY arrived!!!!

A few pics to share.......

Crab apple, one of my favorite flowering trees.
Jason pruned this 2 weeks ago, I like the flat umbrella top look rather than the rounded.



Tulips, my one and only color. Im not a big fan of tulips but these have a really pretty black purple color



My white bleeding heart. Up until last year I had a pink fern leaf plant, but we mulched too early and I lost it so I replaced it with this white one.


Jasons Japanese maple in the front garden



Driftwood garden art with succulents





This weekend is Mother's Day. What are your plans?
It will be a nice day quiet day at home for us,
well not so much quiet with these 2.




This is my mom, Linda! About a year before her passing, she was sick in this picture and just underwent surgery in both of her arms to repair bone that the cancer ate through. Happy Mother's Day mom, I miss you!


Its always hard on this day when your mom is no longer with you.



Happy Mothers Day to all of you out here in blogland!!!!!

Nervous Wreck? Nervous - YES! Wreck - Oh YEAH!

My title best describes me lately.
Well since last week actually!

A few posts ago I mentioned that Domonic had another ear infection and off to the Specialist we went.
He said he will have to have tubes put in his ears!
I felt like throwing up when I heard that!

Sunday night around midnight Domi started crying and complaining that his other ear hurt. A WEEK after the right ear infection. He has JUST FINISHED up his antibiotics the same day. It was a rough night, we were up ALL night. I had to wake Jason up because his fever spiked 103.7 and I could NOT get him to take motrin. After throwing him in the tub Jason had to hold him down while I forced the meds in. The poor baby was traumatized!!!

So I called the Specialist the next morning and he called in ANOTHER antibiotic which hes been on since Mon. So that's 2 ear infections in 2 weeks!

I seriously cant take much more of this. I hate seeing him suffer like he is!

Monday the 11th we are scheduled for surgery at 6:30am and I am a nervous wreck. I think its harder on the parents than it is the kids. He has no idea what hes in for obviously, but I'm freaking.

A year ago in April, Bella stuck one of those white ball things (cant think of the name) that are in potting soil in her ear. What a fiasco that was! We took her to the ER, who referred us to Doms Specialist. In his office he ended up pushing it further in so SHE was scheduled to be put out the next morning so he could remove it! I was a mess then and I'm a mess now. I cried the WHOLE TIME after they wheeled her away until it was time to go wake her up!

Imagine how I'm going to be on Monday! I have a strong bond with all of my kids but Dom more so because he saved my life. If I hadn't got pregnant with him, I wouldn't have gone back for my yearly exam to find out I had cervical cancer. So he is my little life saver!!

If ya think about it on Monday, please say a little prayer that everything goes as planned and Dom and mommy will be ok!!

Finishes and thank you!

Let me start by saying thanks to those who commented on my last post.

I was able to find them at Ace and actually went to 2 different stores to buy them out! Our Dollar Tree doesn't carry them as I look every time I go in there, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot!

Ive been busting my butt to get some things made up for an upcoming show in June and finish up this order for my SIL. Seems ALL I do is craft but get nothing done! Not sure how that works?!!!!

Weather comes and goes but I'm not complaining, I'm just glad the nicer weather IS coming! My flowers are starting to bud out, just a few days ago they were barely peeking out of the ground!!

Thank you Wendy and Linda for mentioning my "girls" on your blogs! That was very nice of you both:) I have ALOT of fun creating dolls especially.



Well my time is up,
you all have a nice weekend!
