Hello my friends and good Monday to you !
My daughter, Hannah's, first statement to me today was " Mom - Why is it so cold in here ?"
LOL .... it's June 16th and I am cold. It is quite blustery here out today and I have my sweater on ! What the Raisin Bran folks !?!? What is going on with this weird weather and WHY is it being so wonky ?! Atleast the sun is finally shining though !
My weekend was quite peaceful actually ... I was able to get alot of things done - ok, so most were just little, but they are done... lol. I have a list of about 20 more things I would like to get going on this week ... and payday is Friday ... not a second to late either ! Wooo hoo !
Saturday, A was cranky as usual - he said something to me that was nasty then went outside and spent most of the day cutting down a tree that was taller then our house !It made for a good bon- fire that evening though ... um, as well as it will for the next few nights too - like I said, it was a huge tree. Anyway we started talking by evening, and counted the rings in the tree... I came up with 62 .... Does anyone know if it is really true, if the rings mean a year of a tree's life ????? I wish I had gotten pictures, but didn't think about it - till later.
Sunday, A got a bug in the rug about the stove - so given it was Fathers day we left him alone to do whatever he wanted. He wanted to clean the stove .... We didn't have money to do much anyway, so I just piddled around the house, cleaning the basement - and doing alot of little things - while A literally took apart the whole stove and cleaned it all and then put it all back together.
Well, it has gotten quite crazy here with Gracie crawling now ...
- she finally started the other day and now there is no stopping her ! She wants everything she cannot have and don't want anything to do with her toys. Basically if she shouldn't have it - that is what she wants ! Lol !
... And don't cha just LUV how she holds her bottle ?!
- She does this all the time and sometimes she uses JUST her feet !!!!!
Oh and can you believe it ?! She already pulled herself up on her feet too !!! I was shocked ! She isn't really sitting yet on her own, but will pull herself to stand ! WOW ! This was yesterday afternoon, and if I had - had my camera near me, I would have snapped a photo !
Yesterday was also Hannah's 11th birthday too. We had NO money to celebrate it one bit !!!!! I was going to make a cake for her, but since A had disected the whole entire stove ..... I was kinda out that option ! Oh well, Hannah didn't mind though, she said 'Whenever Mom... no big deal !' Wow ...
Although the situation, did bother Brittany more so though I think.... she wrapped up a few of her baby dolls and gave them to Hannah, and went to alot of trouble to make her a very nice card too. That made my heart happy ! :O)
Well, I suppose I should go get started on my list of things to do today ... I am hoping to have alot done before A gets home today - I also found someone to take the old washer/ dryer... so hopefully they will go away today too ! That would be so nice.
Have a great day everybodeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

That was so sweet of Brittany! Gracie looks so much like you I think! She is a doll!
ReplyDeleteOh I love all the pictures of Gracie and I love that smile! Awwwwwwwwwwww what a cute way that she holds her bottle!!! I am gald your weekend was good! Oh I am cold also this weather sure has been crazy. I might just bring a blanket to Johnathan's game tonight. Glad you got a lot of little things done that is always good. Sorry hubby was a being mean. Plus cleaning the stove for Father's day. Sorry you weren't able to make a cake for Hannah and I hear you on not having any money when birthday's roll around. I am glad she was understanding and so sweet what Brittany did for her. What does she like?? I hope you get your stuff done today! Enjoy your afternoon! Hugs
ReplyDeleteaww Brit is no thoughtful to do that for Hannah. Sorry about the stove issue and that Hannah wasnt able to have a cake.
ReplyDeleteGracie is crawling!! yay! She looks so cute holding her bottle lol adorable! There is no stopping her now. Before you know it she'll be toddling all over the place.
Hope you get all your stuff done today! toodles
gosh, gracie is a cutie. My man is just 9mos and can only inch worm. And no pulling up. Tries, but no go. He just pinches me and hurts like a mutha - but can't bring himself all the way up.
ReplyDeleteanyway - happy b-day hannah! and cute new page!
Aww, that is so sweet of Brittany to give some of her dolls to Hannah!! What a kid:)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I opened your blog was WOW; that's Gracie?!?! (I said that out loud by the way). She is getting SO big compared to the last pics I saw of her on your trip to see Windi. That is a CUTE way to hold a bottle. I want to go cuddle with that cute one (can you hear my clock ticking all the way up there in Tomah? heheh)
Happy birthday to Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI love the bottle foot holding method! Perhaps net time, I am too tired to sit up and drink a beer, I shall employ little Gracie's strategy!
I think the ring thing is true, or at least close to true.
It IS windy today. I think I will wear jeans to work!
How sweet of Brit to do that for Hannah.
ReplyDeleteGracie is just getting bigger every day.
Happy B Day to Hannah....I love the pic of Gracie's...Tammie how old is she?
ReplyDeleteIt never got real warm today either, and now it's downright chilly out there! and windy too.
ReplyDeleteholding her bottle with her feet? Adorable! and she's so cute! love that smile!
I'm glad Hanna was ok about her birthday, and it's sweet that Brit gave her some dolls and made a card! Very sweet! :)
Gracie is 7 months old now. :O)
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of Gracie using her feet to hold her bottle.
Gracie is a little doll, and so cute holding her bottle with her feet! She's going to be walking really early, you know. There will be no holding her back!! Remember the sweet TINY baby she was a few months back? It didn't take long, did it?
ReplyDeleteIt was sweet of Hannah to say it was okay that there was no cake! Her father should have thought of that before he took the stove apart! Why didn't he??? He had HIMSELF on his mind, I'm sure. Men can be asses, that's for sure.
Brittany was really sweet to try to make it up to her, tho, by giving her some of her favorites.
Are you making it up to her with this paycheck? Or did you already this weekend? She was very mature for saying it was okay;;;I know....my parents did it to me. I SAID it was okay, but I never forgot because it wasn't.
Every other kid got their birthday that year except for me.(There was 6 of us) I'm not saying that will happen, I'm just saying that's what happened to me and how bad I felt, but would NOT tell them. Anyway, that's my whole 2 cents...
I hope your weekend was good..rainy here today, but a great day yesterday. Take care....
