Sooo.... I...... Ummmmm...... Lost my list, again...... And here I am at the last second trying to pull something out of my ear. YILES!!!!!!!


Here is some of what I can remember.


FIRST I have BIG BIG BIG NEWS!!!! For my Valentine's Day present, The Hubby bought Jacob train tickets to come visit this weekend!! YAY!!!! We are paying for him AND his best friend to come down! They will get in bright and early Sunday morning and will be here until late Tuesday evening! YAY!! I am SOOOOOO excited! THE BEST Valentine's Day present EVER!!!! I can't wait to squeeze him!

OH! For those of you that may not know, Jacob is our oldest son. He is 19 and when we moved from VA to GA he decided to stay in VA. Broke my poor heart all to pieces. This will be his second visit since we moved here at the beginning of November.



Colin lost his first tooth!!! YAY!! He was sooooo anxious about it!  He has a 2nd loose one that I imagine will be gone any day now. I can wait to see him missing his 2 bottom front teeth!!! LOL SO stinkin' cute!



I am in the process of rereading the Harry Potter books for the I don't know WHAT time. LOL I almost had The Hubby persuaded into buying me the entire series in the British versions but then he remembered that Jacob coming to visit was my present... Drat. Foiled again! ;)


The Hubby told me a couple of weeks ago that I had too many books. HA!! No such thing exists!! Then I pointed out to him that he has quite a large library of DVDs. That got him quiet. ;)


I am still trying to adjust to living this far south. (We are almost in Florida.) It just isn't normal to have pollen and flowers in February. SIGH..... I want some SNOW, people!!!!!!


In Bags of Hope and Love news, I sent in ANOTHER email to the foster care system a couple of counties over (our county is TINY and has 6 kids total in the system) and I STILL haven't heard back!! I am so upset. I am not quite sure what to do.... I think that I will sew up some bags and send them to my old church and do some sewing with Hopeful Threads.


This month I nearly burnt myself out. I just had too many balls in the air and nearly dropped them all. Sewing, blogging, homeschooling, homemaking and taking college courses...... My goodness!! I have only one week left in my Business Growth class, though! YAY!!! Oh, and the final.... YILES!! Wish me luck!!!! At the end of April I will be starting a design class but a couple of my other classes should be done by then, I think....



I can't seem to remember any of the crazy or funny stuff!!! Figures. So to make up for that........



























































Sewing, homeschooling, Harry Potter and cats. Yep, I covered all the bases. ;)

    I'm not sure what I'll do with myself when the other kids are old enough to move out! WAH!!!!

  12. No such thing as too many books or shoes! Men, geesh. My mom heart cracked a little reading about your son deciding to stay behind, but that just means you raised a strong, confident young man ready to take on the world! (Or at least VA!)

  13. LOL! Thanks, Kristi!!
    Yep, he is very confident and independent. He always has been. SIGH.... I am very proud of him but I wish he would be confident and independent a little closer to me.... LOL ;)

  16. Having your eldest visit AND another losing teeth? You are having a blast, Stacy! Sorry I'm a bit behind. (I'm actually typing from a plane) We were able to get away for the long weekend so I have a lot of catching up to do! Still, I'm not nearly as busy as you. I hope everything is wonderful while all of those balls are up in the air :)
    BTW, I love the cartoon of the man asking his wife about the pin cushion. That is totally going in my craft room :)
