Have you ever just woke up and thought, "I'm not gonna do a damn thing today?" Yeah, well I feel like that every day. I don't know what in the hell is wrong with me. Is it because people let me get away with not doing anything? I slept all day yesterday because I wasn't feeling well and woke up today at 6am. Everyone was sleeping. Now only 3 people are sleeping. What are we going to do today? We don't have any money, hardly any gas. Gas I need to save to pick middle Noodle up on Sunday and possibly the oldest Noodle. Ugh. I just want to sit here, draw, and be lazy. I can't though. The kids are out of school and it's time to do stuff to get them worn out for the day!
Take them to the park? We could do that. There's one just up the road from me. Movies? Big fat nope. No money. Guess I better get on Pinterest and find something interesting for them to do. They'd be happy with a pool, but we don't have one :( This blog sounds like a poor me blog and I don't like it!
Ok, so the good things that have been going on.... I have my middle Noodle for 2 weeks! Yay! I wish it was longer, but assholes will be assholes. I get to keep ALL the kids with me this summer! Yay! Haha I hope you heard the sarcasm in that one. I've been working on that piece that I'm doing for a friend. I went through like 5 pens today and they're all dried up. Why don't I just throw them away? Do I really think they're just going to magically start working again!?! I mean really?
Yesterday was my oldest Noodle's birthday. He's 16 now. No he doesn't get his driver's license. He thinks it's just something you're given when you turn 15 1/2 and I told him oh no. You have to have good grades, a good attitude, and help out around the house. He helps out around the house, but only after having a bad attitude about it. I can see why. He's the only one doing anything.
I finished my wicker basket towel holder! Yes for finishing things! I have a hard time finishing anything I start. Here it is!!!
Isn't it beautiful?!? I'm going to get the next two smaller sizes for hand towels and wash cloths. I'm so proud of myself for actually doing something! Kinda like with the Shrinky Dinks. You know how far it is to the kitchen from where I sit? It's a ways. But I have gotten up and done them :) I'm not happy with how the first ones turned out, but who ever is happy with their first accomplishment? The others are ok though. We made father's day key chains and then just some random ones that I call, Peace, Love, and Puppy Dogs :) I didn't know what to put after peace and love but I had this awesome dink of my puppy. Here they are:
They're all pretty small, besides the love one. That's love in ASL, just in case ya didn't know.
I really miss tangling, and it feels as if I have forgotten how to do it. My little "art area" aka my chair is so disorganized it just overwhelms me. I think I will clean it up today and get some tangling done to share with everyone. Not promising they're going to look the best, but that's not the whole point of it.
So, today is a new day. A day to do something. Maybe it will just be organizing my art area or maybe it will be going to the park. Who knows. We'll just go with the flow. Hahaha! My youngest Noodle is being chased by Marley who is barking his big bark at him. It's so cute! I just love those Noodles!
