All Mighty Mouth

This is what my daughter turning seven has brought me. Her mouth and the attitude that comes out of it has been driving me insane! I realize she's just trying to test me and all situations around her, but some this has got to stop!

On her birthday she was opening her presents and not being very excited. She seemed almost bored. She opened up her Sponge Bob movie and just kind of looked at it. I asked her if she was having fun and if she liked her presents. She responded first with a huge SIGH! And I was thinking, "You ungrateful spoiled little child!" But at the end of her sigh and after a pause she said, "You are the most awesome Mom ever!!!" Which then of course led me to crying on the spot! I have the most awesome KID EVER!!!

My weekends without Gabby seem like nothing short of complete debauchery. I need to find something else that will occupy my time and make me happy. Staying out all night, drinking, being around people I don't really want to be around other than to have them somehow boost my ego and be nice to me just isn't cutting it anymore. I got home at 6 this morning, had to call into work (which is fine because we still don't have that much work), and then I slept pretty much until 3pm. Now I'm still exhausted and can't wait to lay my head down on my pink pillows!

Gee....Gabby reminds me of SOMEONE...but who is.....it.....
Hmmm . . . I wonder . . .
Don't get me wrong . . . having a daughter is the most awesome thing! They just go through these phases and drive you insane . . .

My B-day is the 26th of June. Hail all Cancers! Good luck with that one. They are the most sensitive and moody ones of the zodiac!

Lizzy, it could be worse. You could have a boy, which I don't see you with. I think it would be helarious.

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
