May is by far my favorite month. I get Mother's Day followed by my birthday...usually just about a week apart...so I get thoroughly spoiled during the month of May.
this year, Mother's Day was the 12th...my Bday on the following Sunday the 19th.
Mother's Day, dh cooked one of my fave dinners...salmon, grilled steak, angel hair pasta and asparagus.
My mil was still here, so it was for the all the gals. Very nice.
Then the in laws left for the 'wilds of Oregon'...to be honest, central valley California is just not good for my fil's health. Better for them to be up north, esp for the summer.
My Birthday started with my dsil (son in law) making me a breakfast smoothie, church, lunch of mac & cheese and tuna sandwiches (don't laugh, when you've been on Jennys as long as I have...mac and cheese and tuna are manna)...and for dinner dsil made me jambalaya and ddil brought me one of her Hoosier pies.
Then the kids took off for ddil's birthday...which meant I got to hang out with dgd for 2 days...including a sleepover. I won't detail that, cuz as I told dgd as I left, "don't forget, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"...ha!!! (loved seeing her parents' faces over that) Let's just say, that she did not go to Tae Kwon Do class Monday night or school the next morning...and there was popcorn mixed with m&m's involved.
And though I've been to work Weds and Thurs, honestly it still feels like my birthday week!! ha!!
Today, ds is taking me out to lunch and to see Star Trek...
and Tomorrow morning, dd and dsil leave for a 3 day trip to Colorado...so dh and I have the place all to ourselves. I'm thinking pj's and scrapbooking for the weekend.
AND for my birthday, dh told me to get a few things off my Amazon wish list. On its way is a cricut cart...and I've rec'd an artbin Lighttracer. I've been buying a few paper piecings on Ebay lately...so I hope to figure out how to make some of my own. A while ago, I bought a dvd of patterns to make tear bears and such...so maybe I'll play over the weekend.
AND the Joann's near my work had their grand opening celebration. When dgd and I went to work to go to lunch with dd and Francine, we stopped by...spent $40 on stuff that was 40 to 50% off. So, I have those new supplies to play with too. Dgd picked out quite a few stickers and paper also. I had to tell her, 'we can't go down the (sticker) aisle anymore, you go crazy". So, gotta think of good 'projects' for her to do, to use them!!
So, what can I say...I LOVE May!!!!
(note, I think I used all the family abreviations in this post...ha!!)

'inventing the wheel'.
Well, I've taken a pretty scary step.
Today was the start of a 12 week sunday school 'class' I am doing (with the help of my dd, ddil, and dear friend Janell)....but there is no curriculum...and so we are 'inventing the wheel'.
I've been helping out in the children's church. And when I helped up in the upper grades, 3rd thru 6th grade, I could not help but notice that the older children simply were not engaged. Not 'into' the music, the video lessons, the crafts.
So, I started thinking ... dangerous, I know.
When I homeschooled my kids @this age...we did art journals. And sometimes the drawing of an object could lead to some pretty good discussions.
soooo....we started a sketch journal oriented class...in the hopes that it would engage the kids a bit more and prepare them for the jr high/ high school group. We are treating it more like a Bible study discussion group than a Sunday school lesson.
and we are learning right along with them.
So, last week was our 'launch'. We made a mother's day craft...kinda like this one, only smaller...
we asked them if they knew the 10 Commandments (as our trivia challenge) with the child who knew the most receiving a Baskin Robbins gift card....and then spent the rest of the time getting to know them, asking them questions about the things they like. Candy was big on that list - ha!
Today, we joined the adult worship, had our own table and then went outside. It was cool, our youth Pastor talked about worship and how God can be like a child who just wants you to pause and look at 'what He made'...but how we can get so wrapped up in our lives...our response is.."yeah, yeah"
It tied so perfectly to my first lesson...I wanted them to look at the ordinary in a different way. So, I told them like Pastor Dusty said, let's try to look at things in a different way, instead of feeling 'yeah, yeah' .
So we set up sheets under a tree...and instead of pointing at the tree and telling them 'draw it'...I had them get underneath to get a different view of the tree...what do YOU see? do you see a pattern of branches, the symmatry of leaves, the light coming thru the leaves, texture of the bark? then take a few moments to sketch that.
The kids were hesitant, "I feel a rock" and other complaints......but they did get into it. Now, only a couple of kids drew branches...tree like images...but that is okay...I told them it is their 'art' and they can draw any way they want. (I will save their drawings and in August we will use my cinch to make books for them to take home)
While drawing we talked about how trees also reflect seasons and how they are in the 'spring' of their lives...so many possibilities...and how the little choices they make daily will help define who they are in their teen and adult years. and their relationships they are developing with their parents...gave them the example of how I used to tell my kids at that age, "if you make it a habit to lie to me now, how am I going to believe you when you are a teen and want to borrow the car".... We talked a li'l about how they are probably going to be in the position to make a choice about whether or not to have a facebook page. And my 'trouble' with that, that at this age, they would have to lie to start one. But that I am not out to judge their decision...but to remind them that they have their own relationship with God...and need to listen to the Holy Spirit about this type of choice. Janell asked the great question, "How do you know the Holy Spirit is talking to you"...so we talked about that inner voice.
We also went over the 1st Commandment...I told them that we will review the commandments and at the end of the 12 week period, I hope they make me poor buying all of them BR gift cards. (I better start saving). I have a secret hope for August, but I won't reveal it. ha!!!! I also found a corresponding NT verse talking about there being only one God. Cuz we often hear the argument that the 10 Commandments are just so 'old testament' and not applicable today.
Then we had our new 'trivia challenge'...I asked them to write down the Golden Rule. No one knew it, but one child came close with "Love your neighbor as yourself"...so he was able to choose a candy bar from my collection.
Overall, it seemed to go well, we were very relaxed...2 of the boys stayed and helped me clean up...the wind was blowing and the sheets were difficult to manage...THEN...they carried my 2 bags full of supplies into the church for me...YES, 2 California boys acting like Texas boys and being gentlemanly....ha!!
I told them to bring their beach towels next week, we'll be outside again.

Crop Today!
yay, yay, yay.
Though I've done nothing with the pages from the Expo crop last month...siiiiigh. Lately, the only time I scrapbook is at crops!
I'm working on Hawaii. Gotta say when I did some pages at Expo...I was using my tropical papers that I got in Maui...and started to feel a li'l like I was doing an 'ugly paper challenge'. I'm not against themed paper...but I was having trouble. So, this morn, I went on some scrapbooking galleries and pinned some inspiration.
One good thing I did was buy a book of Page Maps...Page Patterns Volume III...oh, I wish I had this book for the Europe cruise...instead of pages of just 3 or 4 pics...I could get up to 9 or 12!! Really good for pages of the Luau and macros of the flowers around the resort.
Hopefully, this time, I'll feel more 'inspired' and get some pages I'm happy with. Just so happy to get away and Crop till I drop!!

the 'Laurel and Hardy' of ranch hands
A couple of mornings ago, both DH and Dsil (son in law) were out and the feeding of the horse was left for me and dd. My fil took care of the cows. The night before, dh showed us what to do. IN the past, I simply had to walk across the pasture, and throw a flake into her pen. BUT the fields were irrigated the day before, so the pasture is now a swamp. It now requires driving the golf cart to the front gate, down the road a bit and going up the 2nd gate. (fil gave us that golf cart a while back, and that thing has become a lifesaver). Okay. DD and I can do that. Oooooo boy.
6:30, I get up a li'l late. DD meets me in the kitchen and we decide to go feed the horse...while she is getting dressed I go to the garage to prep the bucket and get the golf cart. Go to the garage door...and its locked. FINE, just go get the key...minor irritation. DD joins me and we are looking for the bucket. where is it? OH! dh left it in the pen last night, and was supposed to go back and get it, guess he forgot, FINE, we find a shoe box to use. Fill it up and get into the golf cart. Tell dd she is driving...good thing, cuz dsil had parked his truck in the driveway behind it...okay...a few 'Austin Power's moves" and a lot of laughs and dd gets us going.
We get down to the front gate, and it's locked...'do you have the key?" No key, so we back up to the house so I can grab the right key.
We finally get to the pen. Now due to the flooding, cannot go around the corral but thru. Now our horse is a bit of a snit...and she does not esp seem friendly to us girls. (I call her the Diva)...so we are both not comfortable with her...but we give her a carrot and go in. I head for the back fence, which I need to climb to get to the hay...and I hear dd quietly calling 'uh, mom'...the horse had zeroed in on the rest of the goodies in the box in dd's hand...I hollar, give her a carrot! DD holds a carrot away from her, and then scoots to the bucket, where she dumps it into the feed bucket and skidaddles out of there.
The rest of this goes fairly smoothly, till we get in the house and I go to get into my room and Winston (the world's naughtiest cat) runs out and whoosh, there are dd's dogs. Luckily she managed the dogs, while I chased Winston back into the room. A few 'f-words' slipped during the process.
So, from now on, before I go out to feed the horse, I need 2 sets of keys. Put Winston into the master bathroom so he cannot dart out...oh, and the original bucket left in the pen...in 4 pieces.

29 years!
Yesterday MJM and I celebrated 29 years of marriage, as MJM would say...209 looooooooong years.
This morning I was thinking, How DID WE make it to 29 years. Those who know us, know that we got married, well, cuz we were pregnant...and had only known each other a few months when we did. So, how did this work?
God - within a couple of years of our marriage, I experienced being 'born again'. I had heard about God all my life, growing up next door to Southern Baptists who truly lived their faith, but never truly understood that it was about that personal relationship with Christ. MJM's born again ah-hah moment came years later, but I've always said that it was Christ who built this family. We were a couple of immature kids, who made what some would call a 'mistake', but God took that 'seed' and created a family.
Gossip - huh? No, it was a deciding moment in my life that I would not gossip about my husband. I used to be one of those clucking hen women who would sit around comparing and outdoing stories about whose husbands are the bigger a*hole. When I made the decision to stop hanging out with these women, I may have lost a 'friendship" or 2...but it was a huge relief off my shoulders, like a freedom from a 'negativity' cloud.
D-word - MJM and I decided a long time ago, that the D-word (divorce) did not exist in our marriage. Our feeling is that if we felt like that was an option, we would never truly try to work things out.
Never let the sun go down - When we had issues, we would stay up all night and into the wee morning hours to discuss it. We truly believed the verse about "never let the sun go down on your anger, lest you give the devil a foothold'. The couple of times we did go to bed angry and let it simmer was awful. Things do not 'work out in the morning'...it just hangs over you...I attribute it to the 3 year period in which I was completely shut down to MJM. (he says he had to buy me a Volkswagon New Beetle to bring me out of it) . I say I finally had an ah-hah moment that that is what I did...Instead of working things out with him, I just thought, '3 more years, C graduates and I'm out of here" and went to bed with that thought. Gave the ol' devil that foothold and lost 3 years.
Happiness comes from within - as long as we had the concept that MJM was supposed to MAKE me happy or that I was supposed to MAKE him happy, nobody was happy. A few years ago, we came to the conclusion that that happiness comes from within ourselves...and that it is not the other person's job to MAKE the other happy. I like how Pastor Dusty put it a li'l while ago, that "it is not his wife's job to make him happy, but to make him holy". Maybe that is why God has a tendency to put us with our opposite, so we can complete each other and test each other.
Acceptance - another freeing moment was when I realized I couldn't change him...and I didn't really want to. I'd say this was in the last 5 years or so... while still in San Jose, in the early years, I had learned the concept of 'the holy gag'...instead of nagging and reacting to give it to God. But within the past 5 years, I've also learned to see him as my bff. Does he drive me crazy at times, sure!! Do we fight about it? sure!! But I know deep down I can accept who he is.
So, is it perfect between us? Heck no...is it worth it? Heck yes!!
I am one lucky girl.

having trouble with my google acct.
It's funny, got a g-mail acct for a special blog with a couple of friends, and since then signing in has been difficult.
I don't really want to use the g-mail for everyday and kinda want to keep the old one. aye yi yi
so I'm home today. Hopefully, I can get my 'list' of things to do done and go INTO that scraproom!!
I've been buying like crazy, esp on Ebay, but, hmmmmm gotta use it. I got 3 new slice cards...I still like my slice, though I gotta admit I don't fully trust it. Also got a couple of new Cricut carts.
Just getting ready for the Expo in a couple of weeks, right?
Dh has been under the weather...its been odd and we can't figure out what is going on. It started with bloating, and lots of #2...then some vomiting...but it never seemed stomach flu like. Then slight fever and lots of sweating it out. Even yesterday, he felt better all day, but he soaked thru 3 sets of clothes. (I'm washing clothes and sheets as I type)...So, we have no idea what this is. He is planning to see the dr. (hopefully this afternoon).
So, I've been sleeping in the guest room. I'm okay with it, but I do love our temprapedic mattress in the master bedroom. BUT the good thing, for me, is I can read!! I get to stay up and read...without the grumbling from dh. I finished "The Book Thief"..(one of the better books I've read in a long time,btw) and will start "The Blind Side" (a coworker loaned it to me). So, that is the 'bright spot' in the sleeping arrangements. Oh, and not listening to his snoring...though he'd say the same thing about me. ha!!
okay, hopefully, next time I'm able to log on, I'll have pics of projects!!

Nesting...is it a sign of being preggo?
ha!
I have been doing some serious organizing/nesting around here. On Friday it was my closet
Here are the before pics, as you can see, it needed some serious clean up....I did it shelf by shelf but finally got to this:
I need to spend some time now, going thru and organizing my jewelry. All costume, cuz after being burglarized, I no longer buy 'the good stuff'.
Oh, see the books in the first pic? yeah, that is my 'to read' pile...bought after I counted my books last year...I had over 1500 books already. Yeah. I have no explanation, it is such an addiction...maybe I'm preparing for the apocolypse. You know, when there won't be tv or computers anymore...
found this pajama top during the clean up, and Ain't it the truth? All gals need more closet space.
Then Saturday morning I cleaned out my desk area. I told the kids that "I'm nesting, I may be pregnant"
ha!!
So, today, I was supposed to go to work...but, as I was leaving I discovered that my car keys were already there. I won't tell who the absent minded person was...but yeah, and it is the only known set of keys. The car was dd's during college...and in Texas, so, it's a good 7 or 8 years in the family and where the 2nd set of keys went is ANYone's guess.
So, spent the morning, sweeping pet hair. and hopefully, can make my way into my scraproom. Wouldn't that be something? I haven't had a chance since before Christmas. of course, gonna need to do some organizing first...as I've been putting things in there.
AND, hoorah, signed up for the Pleasanton Expo Crop next month! So gotta pull together my stuff...cannot W A I T !
