Not enough time

There is just never enough time to get everything done. By the time I get what has to be done finished, there isn't enough time to do anything I want! I have a quilt to make for my sister and it is still sitting where it was months ago. She has been very patient with me, but the baby will need a twin size before I finish it.
Like I don't have enough to do....I decide to start a blog. Which so far hasn't taken up much time. What really is time consuming is reading all the other blogs. I got to a blog....read it....then see a link...read it and so on. I spent valuable hours reading when I could have almost finished that dad blame quilt. This guilt is driving me nuts. If she would just let loose on me...then I would be OK. NO..... she has to be patient and understanding. Why OH Why!!! My daughter said she wouldn't even tell when she was having a baby until the last month.....apparently I work better under presure....Hint....Hint Marla. Just go ahead and give me the riot act. I'll find some time then. Guess I better get off here and get busy.....Dishes, Laundry and all that other stuff. Maybe tomorrow I'll make it to the sewing room. (Keep your fingers crossed)

LSU-Auburn


Let me start of by telling you my husband is a huge LSU fan. He was raised in Baton Rouge, so in his defense, he has no choice. I on the other hand never really understood football. When my son play in school all I could do was yell run. "Run" because if you had the football you had better run, because all the other guys were chasing you and if they had it, you better be doing the same. After several years of football, my sweet husband took the time to explain the game. Don't get me wrong I still get very confused....mostly with that 4th down stuff. I have to say if it was anybody else I was watching with I wouldn't be nearly as amused. My husband makes it interesting. He yell, jumps and uses some interesting descriptive words. In one breath I hear " I hate LSU" and the next is "I love LSU". Oh course this all depends on the score and the last play. He is very into it. My couch usally ends up at least 2 to 3 feet from its orginal place. Tonight was a very close game. At the end of the half the score was LSU-3 Auburn-14, but by the middle of the 3rd LSU had come back within 4 points. The end of the 3rd had LSU leading 17-14. Naturally LSU keep us glued to the TV because with 8:27 left in the 4th LSU put 3 more up. Then what do they do...(this would be where my hubby is using all the colorful language).... let Auburn score a touchdown. (LSU 20-Auburn-21) With 1:03 left we scored 6 points with a failed 2 point conversion. This was our first win @ Auburn since 1998. With almost 90,000 rabid fans watching, LSU kicked Auburns butt. I give him a really hard time about football and LSU, but I like it almost as much as he does!

GEAUX TIGERS !!!!!!

Here goes!

This is my first blog. I'm not much of a writer but I'm going to try. This would be thanks to my sister. She has talked of blogging, read me blogs, and encouraged me to try this. I guess I should start by letting you know about me and my life. I'm married. I have 3 kids, 1 stepson, and 3 and a half grand babies. I could not be happier. I have a wonderful husband (Steve)....so later on when I really give him a hard time, you are welcome to remind me of this! My son (Bryan), daughter-in-law (Crissi) and two and a half grandsons (Riley, Sawyer & Mason) are in Germany. They should come to the states in June of '09. I have 2 daughters, one 19 and the other 24. My oldest (JoAnna) is the mother to my granddaughter (Taylor). My youngest daughter (Holly) is in school and will soon be out. I also have a stepson (Jason) and daughter-in-law (Christina) . I'm sure I'll have lots to say about all of them, I'll even try to learn to post pictures. Well I hope this will do for the first post....maybe I'll even become interesting, witty and fun.
