Life Gets In The Way…

Blogging? What’s that? I feel as though I am starting all over again. Truth is, I have been busy living my life (as pathetic as that might be)! My life is not very exciting, but it is full of beautiful weather, a grandson who has learned to walk, and the remnants of my birthday week.

Spring in Georgia couldn’t be more beautiful. The trees are fully blossomed, providing huge canopies of shade. The azaleas are glorious. Words do not properly describe the abundance of bold color. And the pollen that is produced by all of this blossoming vegetation, well, is enough to kill a person. All I can say to that is thank goodness for Allegra as it keeps me out of the doctor’s office.

My little Jack. What words can describe this tiny human being? He is also blossoming into a funny personality. His face explodes in smile. A smile so wide that it covers his entire face from ear to ear. His eyes are almost closed shut because his smile needs all the room on his face. I might add that Grand Mom (that’s me…the name I decided I want to be called) has tried to capture this smile but to no avail. I will prevail!

Jack has now evolved to movement on two legs. It was only last week that he walked 3 steps…then 8 steps…then across a room. Today, he has managed running. Needless to say, I think he heard about a 1/2 marathon in Connecticut and he is now in training. The upside to that is I am getting more exercise which is dooly needed.

All in all, life has been good. The only thing that would make it better is if hubby received a call with a job off. Lord knows he has been on um-te-nine interviews (spell check wanted to change this to uterus). We just want one offer…just one! Truthfully, I know it’s coming. All in good time, right?

I leave you with a photo of the little guy, staring into the Georgia Aquarium tank, totally mesmerized by life.

Shouldn’t we all be mesmerized by life?

Deb,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband and I pray that something will come along soon, believe me, we know the feeling because after 8 months my hubby just got a job that is moving us to Birmingham as soon as the house sells. Now if only his drug test and background results would get back to them so he could start. What field is your hubby in?

Cheri

PS- you can email me if you would like to.

Well--I feel an offer coming. A great one;) And we will take anyone on our next half marathon--especially cute ones. But if it's hot? Forget it.

I hope your husband gets a call soon. Isn't it so much fun to see the expression on the kids faces when they see those big fish swim past the glass? Walking is a major milestone and yes you will be running now. My little Prince is sleeping here tonight and we enjoyed every minute from the bath to the story to the songs.

When I read your posts about Jack, I can't help but wonder what my Grandmom thing will be like. Time will tell.

I hope there is an offer coming your way soon. Life is full of hope isn't it?

I remember those wonderful days of when my son learned to walk. It was wonderful and terrifying all at the same time. Enjoy it - a new beginning to go with the new beginning of spring!

Deb, you have wonderful things going on in your life and none of it pathetic. You will find the good even in this time when your husband is in a break between jobs.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
