Sick

I have a cold, and everyone who knows me knows it takes me forever to fight them off. Work is going well. I was hired on as a temperary worker and I am hoping for a permenant position, but I did have to call in quite a few times and that may keep me from getting one. Blah!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Man having a job is really wearing me out! My arms are so sore from all the lifting, and my fingers feel like they might fall right off. I will be glad to have christmas off! I had christmas cards made to send to everyone but only a handfull of people actually got them because i have been so busy, so to those who did not get one, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! From me and Maya.

Christmas

I want to down size some of my stuff in my-and-moms etsy shop. So This would be a great time for family members, and friends to let me know if any of the stuff might be on their wish list. I can not believe that christmas is right around the corner! And coming fast! here is a link to the shop, drop me some hints.

Walmart

I got a job at walmart. I think it will be nice to work again not to mention the money.

Conversations with Maya

Maya: Maya wants a cookie!



Me: Say 'I want a cookie.'



Maya: Maya wants a cookie.



Me: Say 'I'



Maya: I



Me: 'want'



Maya: want



Me: 'a cookie"



Maya: No! Mama, Maya wants a cookie! Not Mama!

Ghost stories

On Halloween morning Maya comes to me in the bathroom and says, "Look it's a ghost mommy!" I say "where is it?" She looks into the bedroom, which is connected to the bathroom and says, in a friendly voice, "Come on ghost come in here with me and my friend Mommy, come on, it's OK, come on." The whole time waving her hand the way you would to show someone which way to go. Then she closes the bathroom door. I ask "Is it in here". She says "No he's still in the bedroom". I ask her what he looks like and she says "he is red...red and blue". I then decided it must be some sort of game because of the colors, and decide it's nothing, and I'll see if she brings it up again. So we go about her planned day, trick or treating and visiting Grammy. While we are at Grammy's house we take pictures of her in her costume in the back yard. Then we go home and go to bed.

The next day, I was in the kitchen fixing some breakfast, and I hear Maya say..."Not again!" She usually says this if she spills something, or makes some sort of accident. So I go in the room and ask her what happened. She replies "The ghost is in the bedroom, again" i ask her where he is, and she turns around like she knew where he was, and then says "Oh, he's gone now". That night I finally got around to taking the pictures from Halloween onto the computer, and when I was emailing them I noticed something strange...Here are the pics.






Pic number one:

Pic number 2:

Pic Number 3: ever hear about orbs. Well this apears to be a no mistake orb. I was telling Maya to blow the camera a kiss, and she just was not paying attention to me. At the time i had no idea why, but she seemed very distracted. She apears to be looking at this orb. Now I believe that she was busy trying to see this "orb".

Pic number 4: She looks behind her, almost in a double take.

Pic number 5: She beginns to play again

Pic number 6: She turns back toward the place where the orb was.

Pic 7: She finally blows the camera a kiss.

Pic 8: She plays a little longer then we go back in.

What do you think?

She hasn't brought it up again.

Some of my new creations

This one is inspired by my sister who bought a beaded bracelet on wire and said she wished it was dangly, so this one is on 4 strands of beading thread and should be pretty strong, and it dangly.

Care bears

Anyone who remembers Care Bears knows that the cubs often say "Goody-Goody-Gosh" all the time. Care Bears being one of Maya's favorite shows, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that after giving her some Pizza, which is her favorite thing lately, she says "Goody-Goody-Gosh", and then licks her lips. She is a character, and the characters that are her favorites seem to influence her character.

fog

Do you ever have a day that you feel like you are walking through a thick fog all day. The last few days have been like that for me, anyone know how I can get out?

Driving

Driving has been going well. We drove on some streets, and it was fun. I am truly getting excited about the next time I get to drive. It is great!

Raisin Fingers

The other day I let Maya take a bubble bath and let her play a while longer than usual because she was just having so much fun. Then I got her out, dried her off and dressed her, and went to make lunch. About five minutes later she came to me, already practically in tears, and said, "Mommy, Maya's fingers!" I looked at them and they looked normal except for being little raisins because of staying in the bath so long. I asked her "What happened to your fingers?" She replied, in a very angry voice, "The water did this!" Most kids like the raisin fingers, but Maya got very upset!

Maya is so funny

Grammy was asking Maya where something was, she was like bent over talking to Maya, and you know what Maya tells Grammy?


not where what ever it was- was


she tells her " You've got eyes!", LOL


Grammy says " here i am trying to have a serious conversation with her and she tells me I have eyes"


Maya even had a serious look on her face, like she was going to tell us where- what ever it was-was.

The things Maya will say!

Just now she was asking me to cut her a piece of yarn. I was busy, so I told her " Not right now" and she replied with a very polite, "Very well". How in the world does a three year old tell you that, LOL.

Maya paints pumpkins

Maya's cousin Sarah looked like she had so much fun painting pumpkins in my sister's blog, that when my mom's boss sent 2 cute lil' pumpkins home for Maya I decided to let her paint some too.

Driving

Driving has been going well. I think I drove 2 times. Of course just in a parking lot so far. The first time I was nervous, but once I did it, I got behind the wheel and actually did it, I felt really great! Next time I believe we are going to go on a road, I can't wait!

My best guess:

You know how sometimes you have too much time to think, lol. Well I was thinking that this must be how our predecessors got the idea to make felt.

One day someone is cleaning out a hair brush and notices how all the hair comes out in a sheet. They note how being a hair brush this is kinda gross but, what if you used cleaner methods and materials, you could totally use this for something, like a type of material.

What do you think?

I am officially selling Avon

I just got started selling Avon. I'm excited. I hope I do well, wish me luck.

Here are the rest of the park pics that I was posting a long time ago.

Maya is still not sure if she likes the swings or not. She asks to get in them every time but still makes faces like she is scared out of her mind. Poor thing.
But she definitely loves the slides.

Yes you see correctly Jeffrey and I thought it would be fun to climb to the top of this thing, and it was fun.

My latest jewelry creations soon to be posted on etsy

I have been into recycling vintage objects into my jewelry including buttons, recycled pieces of vintage jewelry, etc.

Earrings were very popular to be worn large, which seems to be coming back, so sometimes if I come across a single earring, the charm that is attached can be taken off and used as a pendent for a necklace.
And of course I love working with my stones.

Cute Pics

I go on PBS.com to let Maya do all the nice activities on there. She acts like she is such a big shot using the computer like the grown ups! So I had to take a picture. Maya was asleep, so I got in the shower, and when I got out this is what I found. Isn't it sweet?
Plum has Maya all figured out, she likes to sleep next to Maya, but waits until she is asleep so she can make a peaceful entry.

Not much to write about

I had my surgery, and recovered without too much fuss. The pain I had been having is gone. See not much, lol.

Wolfgang

The Wolfgang poll was fun, the way I came up with Wolfgang is, I was watching a movie and in the credits there was a guy (?) named Wolfgang. I thought that would be a really cool name to name a boy, especially rare too. I told Jeffrey and he was like "Hell naw!!!"

Well

Today's big day went really well. Maya's teeth look good. She wasn't too upset and she looked at them in the mirror and she says they are princess teeth. I guess because they are silver, lol.

I went to take my drivers permit test, which is given on a computer now, and...................I PASSED!!!!!


YIPPEE! That's the first step to learning to drive now I feel like I'm getting somewhere.

This is kinda a big day

I am going to take my drivers permit exam. I've studied and studied, so wish me luck .

Also our sweet little Maya is getting her teeth capped finally after two cancelled appointments.

Then I have to go in for "blood work" for my surgery that I'm having Monday. Not sure what all that means but it sounds like a lot of needles being stuck into me.

stephen king

i was up alone tonight in the living room reading a Stephen King novel and suddenly got a little creeped out and shivery! just when you think you have matured to a stage in which you can read a Stephen King novel in a silent house, that's when you realize he still scares the s*&t out of you!

i just realized...
