I'm still here!

I am still here but very scarce.  Jacy's mom went back to work so I am watching Jacy a lot more.  Jacy's mom has an old/new job.  She went back to work at the same place she worked before she moved out of our house.  Even after being gone from there for almost 18 months they were willing to have her back.  Last week she worked 28 hours and this next week she will work 35 hours. 

She likes working but told me she can't really get too excited about it right now.  The reason she can't get too excited is because she owes me money.  I paid off her outstanding traffic tickets and the grand total was over $900.  And yes my eyes did bug out when they told me that.  But now she is in good standing with the law enforcement officials and we can quit worrying about them showing up at our door to arrest her.

Okay back to sewing now! :)

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Jealous much?

Normally she wants nothing to do with the camera.  But with plenty of camera action going on around here with the new baby, she is trying to make her presence known.  She doesn't act like she even realizes the baby is here most of the time.  But she sleeps outside the door of the room the baby sleeps in.  She is guarding the baby and mama while they sleep.  I told you EVERYONE is in love with that little cutie! :)

The story of my life

Blog Slacker!

Yep that's me!  The Head Blog Slacker.  It is hard to get motivated to post when no one makes comments.  But then I guess it is hard to make a comment when I'm not posting, huh?  I used to have so many "blog friends" that would comment on the blog but then I quit blogging for an entire year and I lost contact with so many people.  E-mails change, other people quit blogging, etc. and then P-O-O-F! all the blog friends are gone.

I'll try to do better about posting if everyone that is reading will try to do better about commenting.  How's that for a deal? :)

I haven't commented in a while because we have been trying to get the house refinanced.  It is not an easy task when you are in a second marriage and the first husband is still on the mortgage but not on the title to the house and . . .  The second husband has been making the mortgage payments for the last 3 years but his name is nowhere on any of the paperwork.  We are just about at the end of this little journey and we will definitely be celebrating.  The new loan will lower our house payments by almost half and that means we can start on remodeling the house to make a sewing area and shop for my business.  Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!! :)

The first post for my new blog!

I am getting started with a new blog.  I have not blogged in about a year and I've almost forgotten what to do.  I'm sure I'll get back to posting regularly and I'd love it if you would comment and let me know you are reading.  It is nice to know I'm not all alone you know. :)
