can't sleep...

Craig made the Walmart run tonight...

and he found this crucifix at the Dollar Tree for me...

love it...

I collect them, you know...

and he picked me up my weekly fix of reeses...

and I had him look for cute Easter cards before they are picked over...

and then I took some more photos...

everything looks better at night...

I have been to bed twice and just can't go to sleep...

tried to do it without my cold medicine and all that happened was my head plugged up...

everything started aching...

and I had to pee...

so here I sit waiting for relief so I can sleep...

I think I went to bed too early the first time...

it couldn't have anything to do with the reeses egg I ate before I laid down...

no, it couldn't be that...

or that I can't make up my mind if I'm hot or cold...

I think DH is coming down with something, too...

he's been freezing the last 2 nights...

so we have the heat turned up for him...

I hope he's not getting what I got...

but it's going around and he does live with me...

and I have been breathing on him every night since this started...

I just hope he doesn't give it back when he's done with it...

night...

have you ever bitten off more than you could chew?...

I did...

but I was inspired first thing this morning...

I had my bathroom window open and awoke to the robins singing...

and they inspired me to change up a few things...

for robins mean spring...

and we can't see the robins with thick drapes on the windows...

and of course we need to move the table back by the windows so I can watch them...

so that meant redoing the mantle...

so this was try # 1...

then I stood back, thinking I'm a genious, like always...

only to find that it looked like a fake rose bush puked all over the kitchen...

now, ok, I  have a lame excuse...

still on cold meds...

sinuses are still out of whack...

brain cells still nappin'...

or it just could be that I don't have the magic touch every time I try something...

so...

let's try that again...

and we took it all apart...

and set it all on the table...

and this is the 2nd try...

more like me...

and it worked better this time...

and it started happenin'...

and this is the end result...

I was going to use my quilt for a table cloth this week...

but I kept thinking about the guys eating on it..

and spilling things...

and maybe staining it...

so, I just couldn't do it...

but I wanted to see it every time I was in here...

so I put it on the mantle...

for now...

then we took the drapes down in the kitchen and living room...

threw them in the washer...

and put the living room curtains in the kitchen...

and the kitchen curtains in the living room...

do you ever do that?

and then it all started coming together...

no new stuff...

just moved around...

all the stuff moved around here, too...

and the lambs are sitting pretty...

DH worked today and should be getting off in about 8 minutes...

I am too tired to even think about supper...

so it may end up being a pizza night...

and I can find something for me...

it's 54 and the sun has been shining all day and I haven't made it outside yet...

so I think I'm going to do that...

need a shower, too...

still praying for Japan and everyone who lost family and friends, homes, jobs...

praying for the nuclear reactors to hold together...

we won't know for days on the total loss of life and the aftermath of the radiation leakage...

and I'm thanking God today that my biggest decision was where to put a few things that don't matter a hoot compared to my family, friends and home...

we should all be on our knees thanking God it wasn't us...

and that we have things to clean and people to joke with...

that we can smile in our own worlds...

that we still have what matters most...

each other...

and knowing that God is in control...

and there is a plan to all of it...

and that angel wings are soaring...

watching...

protecting...

this weekend will be one of thanksgiving for me...

that I never take a day or all I have been given lightly...

amen...
