It's me again Margaret!

Well, I'm back - finally - counting down the hours that Lonnie will be home - which will be in 11 hours! Thank the good Lord! I really don't want to tell you what the kids ate for supper tonight - trust me, you don't want to know! And they didn't get in bed till 10 {literally seconds ago!} But who cares - Lonnie will be home in less than 11 hours!!

It really has been tough these last few days. I think my biggest problem is that I'm relatively a scheduled person and it is very hard to maintain a schedule with only one adult and the brood of kidlets I'm raising! The other MAIN problem is my kids like being on a schedule and everything falls apart when we falter on the norm!

I really haven't been able to paint these past couple of days, but Lonnie says he will let me have time this weekend and take the kids so I can get some stuff done. I've got 3 close to going out - so maybe, just maybe I'll get some pictures of art posted within the next couple of days!

During this trying time {you know, being home alone with the animals,} I've discovered a new love - "Peanut Butter & Fluff sandwiches" or as someone else called them "Fluffernutters" - Do you know what this is?? One of my BFF posted about it on her blog and I had to try this. I don't know why - I actually hate peanut butter - but for some strange reason it really sounded good.
I have eaten a whole stinkin' container of the above "fluff" - It made me weak in the knees!!! "Where have you been all my life?" Seriously! You've got to make you a sandwich with peanut butter and marshmallow creme!!! Delish! I really can't get enough - okay, now we know why my scale is broken!

Other good news - I'm meeting Kijsa on Saturday! Yes, the famous Kijsa {and don't we all love her and her sister's blog!} we all want to meet. I know a couple of girls who are probably REALLY jealous about now! This one and this one!! She is going to be in Nashville and we are {hopefully} going to meet up so that I may pick up a couple of things that she did for me! And I'm extremely excited - so excited that it made my day much better!

More good new, I got Em's birth announcements today! Of course now I have to find the time to address them and get them out. And for all those wondering - I did change the color up just a smidge to match the back!

On a sad note, a really sweet friend of mine had a miscarriage today. I called her and {like usual} made some comment about being pregnant before I even said "hello" and she burst into tears! I think I might be the worst person when it comes to saying something before thinking! I felt like a big o' hill. My heart really aches for her and I hate that she had to experience this. But overall, she really had a positive attitude about the situation once we got to talking and got past the initial part of the conversation. She never ceases to amaze me and I know she is going to make one Fan-tab-U-lous momma one day!

Well, I really need to go clean the house so that my husband really thinks I had it together while he was away - ha! He probably knows better!
