Good Morning,
Super distracted this morning with all the craft projects I'm wanting to work on. I pulled more out of the garage and making an inventory list in Excel with item, description, status and possible price points. This is fun for me, I have so many ideas right now. Plus I need to make an "Idea" list as well.
But.....the cleaner is coming this morning and I'm not ready, so it is necessary I stop and get myself and house ready for that.
Hope your morning is off to a good start!
Crafting: Was wondering what to try to embellish those boat frames above the photo frame hole, I've got it. Did a quick, rough sketch of e Fly Fishing tie, imagine clip art style either bordered with oval border or borderless. I taped the sketch on it, looks really, really cute, it lends itself to the simple lines, black and white, style.
Teens: DS had his first 8 hour shift at the grocery store, thought that was hard, but I'm sure he'll like the paycheck! DD, CB victory in keeping her laundry separated from the rest of ours. MOre complaining about missing items, ultimately found in her own messy domain. Also, to give you idea..I get lots of feedback, like constant, from her on many things, "what's with this milk? Why is it in this size container" What kind is it? Why don't you buy it in a different sized container? I don't like these garbage bags. I think you should not buy these types of garbage bags any more." Me, "It's milk, drink it or don't drink it." Garbage bags...no response given, I walk out of the room...lol...typing this made laugh at least. Lots of attention and focus on other people and not enough on self and own actions/areas.
Z.

Z, I get it. My DD went through a period years ago in which she would ask me a question and then give me grief over my answer. So finally I started just completely ignoring her whenever she asked me a personal question. I would just start talking about something entirely different or most of the time act as though she never said anything. Which brings me to chronic complaining. Sheesh! I put up with that. Finally I told her I didn't want to hear it at all ever again about anything. It took over 50 times of doing that before it starting to sink in that I meant what I said. There is so much right with life, IMO, no need to review traffic jams on and on. She is in a relationship. Definition of a relationship: Two normal people get together and start causing each other trouble LOL. Anyway I was her counselor but finally fired myself. Hooray!!!! It is surprising how much more fun it is to get together now. And her friends are probably lots better at counseling than me LOL.
The boat frames sound so cute! I hope you got your Excel list done. I think it is a good idea for me to do the same. It seems like I need to be three people lately.
Errand day for me. I husseled the entire day to get it all done and managed to accomplish my goal. I bought lots of extras of items normally purchased so the next three or four weeks I will be stocked up in those areas.
Hope you had a great day!
