I need HGTV.

 There has been so much that has went on over the past year I could write 20 posts and still not tell everything.
My home has turned into a complete disaster..no i am serious!! In Sept. I get this bright idea to paint my kitchen cabinets...uhhh...that's a job and a half, they're still not done, I have 40 cabinets and they had to have 4 coats of paint, i have 2 cabinets unfinished. I was looking at my walls and thought, "these walls have to have something done with them", I go and buy the paint...I started painting...and they're not done either. well... My furniture is so worn out and it would never match the freshly painted walls (that i have not finished) ha ha, so I go and buy different furniture...I had to take out my old furniture to move the new in..lol... I move it to the sun room...this sun room is 8 ft x 18 ft, it was built for shoes and coats...yeah right...  i have managed to fit a big curved couch, the matching chair, a loveseat, , and 2 end tables in it...ONLY because I can't seem to get rid of anything.  The sun room isn't even finished yet and that should have been done over a year ago (I did finish painting that room lol).
That is just a quick overview of what is going on here..oh no... wait there is more.  Several months ago we were over run with animals...we had 12 chickens, 2 ducks, 1 dog, (her 9 puppies), 3 stray cats and 4 kittens, and me pregnant, all at one time!!! oh yeah the hens were laying too...this yard was DESTROYED!!  it looked like a tornado had came and stayed for coffee...The yard was one big litter box, between the dogs, and cats and we just couldn't keep the chickens in their pen. Here is where everything falls into place...ha ha... the puppies grew up and ate all the chickens....ducks ....and the eggs. The kittens..who knows where they went (I think the dogs ate them too, not sure)...and I had my baby (she is safe..lol). I was just about crazy, I liked to never got rid of the puppies. You couldn't even walk out the door, It was like a herd of buffalo, you had to practically run the car...they were getting to big,(German Shepard /black lab mix). even their mom run from them..lol I didn't even walk out the door when the roosters were out there because they were mean...you couldn't shoo them away they just charged after you even faster.
Well the chaos of the animals is now over, we finally found a home for all the puppies and they got rid of all the other animals, but they left the yard a disaster and I have managed to destroy the house, thinking that I could actually get this all done by myself..yeah right.
 Oh wait...theres more.  I have a huge white oak tree in my front yard that has been dead since 2009. I was promised for the past few years that it would be cut down..."oh thats no problem i could have that down in a couple hours"...hmmm...the tree is still there, only the bottom branches are cut up and laying ALL OVER THE GROUND!!!...I have no flowers left...no pretty grass...My chain link fence is bent ( from the falling limbs), my porches look like they are 100 years old when they are not even 5 years.  Warm weather is on its way and I feel sorry for the men that live here...I have a list for them and this place is going to be pretty this year if i have to hire someone!! I want my flowers back!
I will post before and after pictures...the way I get things done they might be the same pictures..lol

Porches need pressure washed and some new spindles maybe a board or 2 replaced. You probably never finished the paint in the dining room let alone the kitchen cause that is just you lol. The tree could make a great backyard fire and the curved couch needs recovered and used. Flowers are easy but weeds suck, start with another red moss base and go from there. You can do it!!!! It was awesome before and it can be again you just need the right motivation.

Porch needs pressure washed and a few things replaced. Whats left of the tree would make for a good backyard beer fire, the kitchen should wait cause I bet the dinning room paint still needs finished first. The couch should be recovered and used, flower beds need new red mulch and paper,......I could go on and on but you need to take charge of your ship cause your ideas are always great and generally 2 weeks from completion (-; lol.

The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...

Everyone wants to be rich...Just another complaint session..ha ha

I was watching  " How'd you get so rich" and it got me thinking....ha ha..here I go again thinking.  I really don't think I would want to be rich...yeah maybe have a little extra money to play with, but to be a millionaire or billionaire...no!!  In order to be rich you would have to take money from someone else, like people  who are hard working, living paycheck to paycheck, or people paying for something they will never really own. The Lottery for instance...some people spend several dollars a week on the lottery in hopes to be rich, or just a few dollars richer...they (lottery) are making a killing off of that few dollars a week...The same goes for these gambling places...People spend their whole paychecks on a machine!!! They are not stupid!!...you can't get rich from those machines...but I'll guarantee that they are getting rich from your hard earned money!!! The $100-$200 pair of jeans...come on people don't tell me you spend that on jeans?? ...

I Miss Me!

 It's been almost 6 years since I last wrote about anything.  So much has happened since then.  I love to write, not saying I'm a novelist, (one of my unrealistic goals), but to me, it's the same has having a conversation. I love to talk... about life, dreams, the unknown, how life works and why things happen or exist.  I really enjoy figuring out complex behaviors or solutions to ailments.  Long story short...I think I just enjoy learning and understanding.  Somewhere in the past, I left myself behind.  Who am I now? where did the old me go? why did I change? I would describe my inner self as caring, funny, creative, artist, crafty, fun, talkative, loved to dance, write, talk to anyone kind of woman.  (... that word alone makes me feel old...but 'girl' is too young and "lady" is too proper to describe me lol...Ugg) anyway... I was that person, not so much anymore. I tend to shy away from being outgoing to more reserved or "shadowed" is a better ...
