Today’s photo prompt was grow. So I chose to use Zane who needs to grow to be as big as his sister, then maybe she wouldn’t steal his food lol. You can also see the mess they are making with their breakfast this morning (the food all over the floor). I gave them some oatmeal with their kibble and of course they ate all the oatmeal while dumping the kibble all over the place. Silly dogs.

In other news I am so over this election and president stuff. No I am not thrilled with Donald Trump being president but I am also not going out and breaking windows, laying in the streets, and causing chaos. I know there were lots of protest today in most of the larger cities throughout the US most were titled women marches. Me and my twisted sense of humor saw all the folks at the DC one and immediately though who is doing all the cooking and cleaning today. Just a joke, don’t anyone go getting all high and mighty on me, I am a woman too. Do I think Trump will be great for this country? No, I do not but he is the president, for the next four years at least, so it is what it is.

I was going to paint this weekend, but that didn’t work out quite right. I moved all my craft stuff upstairs last weekend, but the room I am going to use isn’t cleaned out yet. I don’t have a table or desk in there yet so I need to get the room taken care of before I can paint in it. Maybe tomorrow I get things packed up and get started moving a table and such in there. Once we start getting some money coming in again I want to get a nice craft table and some storage in there.

Finally Friday, TGIF!!! It’s been a long stressful week. I cannot say that the weekend will be less stressful because my stress comes from not enough money, and not knowing if/when the hubs will have a new job. Unless the weekend brings a job for the hubs I don’t see the stress ending. But it does allow me to stay home and paint, play online games, and love on my dogs which all help alleviate my stress at least.

Here is a question for everyone, why is cannot one word but will not and do not are two words? I always feel very weird typing cannot as one word. The English language is just weird. I mean to shorten do not you type don’t and to shorten will not you type won’t where did that o come from?

Today’s photo prompt was Something White, I chose clouds. I didn’t think I was going to get the pic I wanted. When I got to work there were several nice clouds but I was on my phone talking to my daughter. I went in the building came out to the truck and all the clouds were gone. It was only about a 10 minute time span I was like where did they disappear to? A little later in the day I was able to get a picture of a few decent white clouds.

Last night was a much better night. The dogs only got up once about 3:30. I can handle that. Today has been an all around good day, not great but good. No word yet on any of the jobs the hubs has applied for, but we are hopeful.

It is raining again, sometimes I think that is all it does anymore. I am not used to all this rain in the winter, I am beginning to think we are not getting any good snow this year. If I don’t have a beach I need snow in the winter. I would forgo the snow if I had a beach.

Today’s photo prompt is shape. So I took a pic from my dining room looking at my front foyer. You can see the squares in my curtain and the oval of the front door glass. The gave a major glare so you can’t see all the shapes that are in the window. There are also rectangles in the slats of the chair. Everywhere you look there are shapes.

Very tired today. the dogs thought it would be great to go out at 12:30. 4:30, and 6:30 it is like having a newborn with these guys. Some nights they are pretty good and go before we go to bed and then not till morning, other nights they will wake me up once in the middle of the night, but then we have nights like last night when it feels like every time I get good and asleep they wake me up. It is a good thing I love them.

Today’s photo prompt is Today. I took a pic as the last bits of day light were seeping away from the day. Just above the fence you can see what was left of the day.

I want the week to be over but I also don’t. The hubs last day of work is tomorrow, and he has only been working part time so we have nothing saved up. He has some prospects but nothing solid to go to on Monday. He is waiting on the result of one interview that said they wanted to start the person they hired on Monday, really hoping they call tomorrow and hire him. So if you are reading this and could say a prayer, light a candle, or whatever it is you do to make things happen I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, you are seeing correctly two post, one day. I got a little busy with the grandson yesterday and missed posting. So today you get two post, two pics. I know I don’t have to post everyday but since I have been putting my photo a day up and commenting on it, it seems only right to post daily. I do fairly well most days.

Since the beginning of the year I have been attempting to take a picture of my self each day, do my pic of the day each day, make a post here, and do a bible study. I have missed a post and a bible study here and there, but have went back and caught up so I consider it a win.

Today’s photo prompt is bag. The pic is of my ole reliable. It is a laptop bag, but I use it for everything…work, bible study, entertainment carrier, you name it is either in there or has been. I have several bags though, I have a bit of a bag fetish. 🙂 If I see a new bag that looks cool, has lots of pockets or different areas in it I want it.

The photo prompt was music, my grandson was dancing so I thought it was the perfect pic for music. Love this little guy more than I thought was possible. He is 18 months old and currently my only grandson, for a couple more months anyway. I have another grandson due mid March.

I got to spend the day with this lil guy and let me tell you what he is full of energy. I don’t know how people wait till their late 30s or 40s to have children. There is no way I could have another child now.

January 15

I slept in today, wow did I. I did not get out of bed till noon. That was the best sleep I have had in a long time. My dogs wake me up like a dang newborn baby. I have three boxers ages range from 3 – 9 and one or the other wake me between every 2 to 4 hours a night. Well I took them out at 4:30 this morning and then my hubs got up with them around 8 and I slept till noon. When I got up the hubs and emptied and refilled the dishwasher, that made me happy. I fixed us breakfast and then since I was so well rested I got some stuff down around here. I did the laundry, swept and mopped all the floors, picked up and took out the trash, cleaned off counters, cleaned the dinning table, finally got all the Christmas decorations taken down outside and all the Christmas boxes inside moved to the garage, I fixed us dinner, and wrote my paper for school. I still have to put the laundry up but it is folded and on hangers lol. Oh and I am slowly turning my grandson’s room into my craft room now that my daughter and her family have moved out, so I moved my craft stuff from the dining room to the new craft room.

Today’s photo prompt is Where Is Sleep, I don’t have my cable so I will have to upload pics either tomorrow from my phone. I chose to take pics of my sleeping dogs. They always seem to find sleep regardless of where they are.

January 14

I have done very little today. I did pick up and take out the trash. After the hubs got home we went to the dump and to pick up groceries. Other than that I have made meals, ate, and let the dogs out to potty. That was my entertainment for the day. I felt bad for Zane, he had assumed the poo position started to do his business when Bubba came over and almost peed on him. Zane stops mid poo and scoots up about three feet and resumes his business. It was kind of funny though.Yeah I know I have a weird sense of humor.

Today’s photo prompt was Path. I don’t have any paths around here…that I know of anyway. Not to mention it is January, and though it is warm for January at 40 something degrees, it was still overcast and rather wet all day so I wasn’t venturing out on my day off to track down a path. So I looked through my pics and found this gem, it is from our first trip to Daytona Beach in 2013. I so loved Daytona when we went. I literally cried when we left. I would love to live there, but the jobs are not plentiful and I don’t want to move again unless I can grab the essentials and go. But I would love to live near the ocean. What a great place to let your worries and stress just melt away.

Well hello everyone. It is Friday finally…and it is Friday the 13th eeek. I hear there is a full moon tonight as well but I didn’t check. Monday thru Thurs I work the late shift and miss all the traffic, on Fridays however. I hit the traffic on the way to and from work. Coming in this morning was not bad…going home however was another story. I will never understand how you can be driving down the highway, lets say at 70 mph, and then all of a sudden down to 20 mph. I know there are more people getting on at different areas but really we all have to slow down by 50 mph or more. It makes no sense.

Today’s photo prompt was people. I chose to use a picture of the morning traffic, people all trying to get to work at the same time. I love that when I snap the picture there is actually a hole in the lane next to me. This section is for the most part is bumper to bumper from about 6:30 to 8:30 at least.

January 12

Hello out there. Tomorrow is finally Friday and then I dunno about you but I get a three day weekend, woo hoo. Today was a crazy long day at work, hoping tomorrow goes much better.

Today’s photo prompt was leaf. Well it is December in Tennessee there are not many leaves to choose from so I decided to use my lotion. A friend at work bought this for me, and when I first saw it I thought eh, I dunno it is citrus. I am not a big fan of citrus smells but this stuff is heavenly. It doesn’t smell citrusy at all even though it is orange. And the scent lingers for a long time.
