  • Feeling pleased with myself!

    We got a lot done today!
    I headed to work at 3:30 this morning, to bake for the first farmers market of the year, went very well.
    Finally got the giant pile of wood that was the aftermath of that freak storm all moved and stacked in the neighbors yard.
    Filled the outside tank for the turtles.
    Got all of the deck chairs and patio umbrella out of the garage and set up.
    I fixed a stained glass panel for my Mom for mothers day... I should have done it a year ago...
    Cleaned my studio a little.
    Folded three loads of laundry and, the hard part, got the kids to put it away.
    Ben fixed the outdoor hose faucet...
    Ben and I took our evening walk with Molly which we have managed to do for the last four days in a row...
    Made crab cakes for dinner, they were good, but not great I don't think I will add it to the dinner rotation.
    Whew!
    I am feeling very satisfied, can you tell?
    When you get a lot done, do you feel satisfied? Or just tired?

  • An excersise in frustration

    Cooper auditioned for the school talent show yesterday. I tried taping it, I messed it up and didn't record... So today I convinced him to sing the song again so that I could post it and now it won't upload.

    I am frustrated.

    I would wait and tape him at the talent show, but he won't be singing the same song... Which I knew...

    The teacher's gushed about how wonderful he was... and he was really good...

     (Especially after seeing some of the other acts...  shhh... )

    But they can't allow him to sing his song of choice...

    Piano Man by Billy Joel.

    I don't know why, but they seem to think that a 7 year old singing a song about playing piano in a bar... where the microphone smells like a beer and the businessmen slowly get stoned...isn't appropriate...

    :-S

    When he sets his mind on something it is hard, really hard to get him to change it!

     After much drama and tears... Where he refused to change the words because "it was against his principals" and many "You just don't understand, Mom!"

    Ben has helped him find something different for the actual show.

    I have to say that even though  I felt like it was a Little Miss Sunshine moment...

    It is so fun watching him sing it and every time he does it still makes me smile.

    Ben's going to see if he can fix the video for me... So maybe I can show you guys and you can chuckle too.

    I hope this makes up for my laziness yesterday.

    Tomorrow is the first farm market of the year so I should hit the hay.

    This was the first time any of my kids have gone out for the talent show and I have never been in one.

     I found it fascinating!

    Have you ever been in or been to a talent show?

About Me

  • I am a glass artist and photographer trying to live life as the domestic engineer. Unfortunatly I'm not very good at it. Oh well as long as everyones still breathing and there's no blood shed at the end of the day I consider it a success. I have three monsters and a husband... I am very fond of them all.

Pulse

  • Just got back from the grocery store and now I'm kicking myself for not getting some chocolate... I NEED some chocolate...
  • At  hospital to see Grandpa, old man in the next bed kept flashing his junk, it wasn't on purpose. WHY don't they let them wear undies???
  • I'm getting flowers but my husband didn't send me any... It is driving me a little nuts not knowing who they are from.

    hey Angi- I thought of a place for Beth's next visit. South Manitou Island. There are some great picture op's. Have you ever been? Maybe you can talk your dad into taking you over or you can take the ferry from Leland. Jay, Mary and I went a few years ago. It was a great day. There is a ship wreck

    I think its so funny that "DOORS" is your top tag. I mean, I understand WHY doors is your top tag. But it still seems funny...who else but you would have DOORS as a top tag. Haha
