Life and my new beginnings

Every Friday write a poem, story or limerick of 55 words, no more, no less
And then report to the G-man!!

"Bad decisions make great stories
Ever come to, under a table in a house
You don't remember going to the night before?
Have you ever called a freind up the next day
to find out what happened last night?
It is such a good feeling to wake up today
grateful I remember the last 1,706 nights!!"

Here you go G-man!! Clean time calculators, aren't they great so that actually totals to 4 years, 8 months and 2 days, but by the time you read this it will be 3 days!!

OK sorry I have been soooooooo busy, just got to show you this pictures I promised, before and after, well I have the girls room here, the before pictures, I have not finished it yet but when it is done you will have to go back to this post to compare but here is what I had painted on their walls 2 years ago...

The vines i did by hand the leaves with a stencil first then hand painted in, I am not that good of a free hand drawer, and the fairies I bought these stickers from Micheal's I think and the flowers too but they just danced on the walls.

See the cloud, my "A" painted that one, and the girls thought it was amazing so now i have taken stock in those mr. clean magic erasers, because it is the only thing that gets crayons off the walls, they always want to paint like mommy did!! Oh in this picture you can see in the corner the border I put up around the room, or what is left of it, my girls made short work of ripping the top layer that had fairies swinging in trees and flower gardens!! So that really needed to come down.

Here is the before of my living room with my announcement board for the day care. Oh and i came up with a great name and just designed the business cards. We have some of the locks up and the fire alarms will be up soon.

What a big change HUH!!! It is awesome, like i said and i couldn't get it on camera but sometimes it turns a share of peach and sometimes more orangy the name of the color on the earth tones color swatch is flaming desire!! So hot and Miami ya think?!?

Sorry like i said I tried to capture it at different times today and my little camera cannot seem to get the color and the walls are a little bare right now i have tons of pictures to put up still.

So this is the second wall tone i picked, i think I could have gone a bit darker in color but as you can see here it tones the orange way down and really compliments it. this shade is called western haze, but it is really just a beige. I like it a lot. These next pictures are for my poor drowning garden, you would think God had started another flood!! It has been pouring for 2 days straight!!

As you can see though my pepper plants love the tropics!! Isn't it just beautiful I mean last week it was half that size !! See the puddles behind it, I tried to take pictures through the window to show you the lake that was forming, but they didn't come out at all i had to wade out in the sludge to get this for ya!!

That is the last dead zucchini plant, i haven't been able to pull it out. My watermelon here, all this green is looking OK but it hates this much water, so I doubt i will get any melons this year.

Eh Tu Brute? Yes someone came and stole my last cantaloupe. It was here, beautiful and now it is gone and the vine is dead as well. So now that I caught you all up on my lovely end of the bloggo-sphere I need to check out you all. I was going to post pictures up yesterday but my computer was fighting with me about loading them up.
Well it is official we have 2 college students in the house!! Wes is going for his masters at WSU and my "A" at 15 is attending Newman University!! She got an Hispanic scholarship for science!! She will take all honors classes this semester in high school and a class on Wednesdays at NU!!!
So gratitude list 5 things;
1. today i am grateful everything went wrong!!
2. today i am grateful i accidentally spilled a glass of nails in the garbage disposal!!
3. today I am grateful I crashed the computer!!
4. today I am grateful I broke my carrots in the garden and got mud in my face!!
5. today I am grateful I went to a meeting and there was a big hole in my jeans right on my butt!!
6. today I am grateful I never once got upset over my day, I turned it all over and was able to laugh at my self.
7. today I am grateful for the miracles in my life and the faith I have found.

you know i have an anger issue, I also have an issue with capitol letters, I am ok with imperfection today. i am OK that I am an angry person, today those demons don't control my every moment. My recovery in Narcotics Anonymous has given me a life i never dreamed of, and i am grateful today so for todays thought;"Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it'sthe grain of sand in your shoe."--Robert Service
