Time to get Creative!

So....things are really tight this year so I'm looking into making several of my family member's Christmas gifts...besides, something made comes from the heart and has so much more meaning to it. I was able to get an awesome deal on a photobook from Snapfish.com and Shutterfly.com and just finished up my books. Because I'm pretty bad with some things, I found a wonderful military spouse from my favorite website that is makine a blanket for my hubby. I am so thankful I found her! Now if I could just think of other things I could do for everyone. Oh well....*yawn*...I need sleep so I'll continue this later!

Just wanna scream!!!

Frustrated does not even come close to how I'm feeling...that and sleepy but that doesn't matter right now. We moved back to AR in May...and I have YET to find a job...WTH! Ok, I know times are hard right now and I read every day about hundreds of ppl filing unemployment every week but come on!! I lost my job on a completely unfair bases and now I can't find anything. I haven't been extrememly worried about it just yet but after 6 months I'm really starting to get worried and majorly stressed out. We need the income, I know I'm good at what I can do...I'm not even seeking "top dollar" pay...or even benefits...but I can't find anything. I'm especially upset because it's almost December and if I was still working at my old job I would be attending the Christmas Party soon when they give out all the awards...an award in Collections that I worked my @$$ off for an entire year just to be let go so some cute flirty guy could steal my job. I wasted two years working to my best potential, exceling and being so darn proud of myself because finally, FINALLY I was good (great) at something...and all for nothing! Now I sit home or at my sister's every day...that or I sleep the days away...bored and stressed and doing nothing to contribute to my family. What a total let down I must be to my awesome husband...Yes I'm venting but I don't care...no one reads my blog anyways. I just don't understand...how am I so pathetic that I can't find employment..... *cry*

Sick...

I hate being sick...especially when I have so much to do. I've had a pretty great week, got to talk to both my brother and awesome husband this week!!! Now if I could just get better. I need to clean my apartment, put up fall decorations and get all my Christmas decor out. Plus I need to rearrange, wash alot of laundry, etc. I'm so glad the holidays are finally here, now if I could just get ready for them. :) Oh well, I thought since I was awake for a few I would post. I've been in a gloomy mood all day, woke up long enough to eat some soup and now I'm going back to bed as long as my neighbors will stop slamming doors. Third picture frame knocked off the wall and broken by them tonight...it's getting really old and I can't wait to move!! Anyways, more cold medicine and back to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be a more productive day.

YaY!!!

I am super excited tonight!!! Granted, it's hard to be excited when I feel so horrible but I still am. My reason?? I finally found someone that makes hand-tied fleece blankets!!!!!! Ok, I know...all I have to do is get the instructions off the internet and make it myself...believe me when I say I am not artsy crafty at all. Nor do I have the patience or the time. I found one on ebay that I really liked but missed out on the bidding and I really want one for my hubby for Christmas. He gets so cold and I thought it would be the perfect welcome home gift. Anyways, after emailing everyone I know that is super talented at making things and searching my military spouse forum I found the sweetest lady ever that said she would make one for me!! I almost cried I was so happy when I got her response!! It's the little things that count so much and it's so refreshing to know there really are still kind caring people out there in this crazy world. Now I get to pick out some fabric....more blogging later!!! Just wanted to share my happiness!

A Total Waste....

Yep...my Monday was a total waste. The long list of things I needed to do today is still sitting on the kitchen counter...not one of the important "to do" items marked off. I have got to find the energy to get things done. I slept all day...and I mean ALL day....Between not feeling good and horrible neighbors I haven't gotten much sleep and now I'm missing out on precious "business" hours to actually get things done.

I am going to bed early tonight...the cat has already been asleep for two hours so I'm just going to move her to her side of the bed and crash. I have lots to do tomorrow...in the rain...blah!!

Where did the weekend go??

All of a sudden I realize that my weekend is gone...and what did I do with it? Not a thing....

It's really sad that a whole weekend can slip by without me realizing it...I planned to spend this weekend cleaning my apartment and getting down the Christmas decorations. Instead, I didn't accomplish anything ...blah!!

I haven't felt the greatest this weekend...maybe that's what is wrong. I just need to get on the ball and get things done. The countdown is on and I want everything perfect for my hubby when he gets home!

It still sucks that I haven't made any new friends...especially with other military wives. I thought having a new group of friends around would really help throughout all of this....I guess those groups of friends are harder to find than I first thought. It still really sucks though...when you really need someone to talk to. Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

I'm going to take some medicine and get in bed. I'm freezing!!!!! I haven't used my heater yet but I might have to tonight...last time I turned it on it set off all the smoke detectors at 2AM and I felt really bad for making so much noise. I have lots I need to do tomorrow....

Round Two!

Giving this whole "Blogging" thing another try. I guess I'm pretty boring since no one reads my blogs! lol...oh well, its more just to get my thoughts out there anyways!

Today is my brother's birthday, Happy Birthday Nathan!

It's so nice to see the leaves changing colors and the weather turning cooler...November is finally here and December is right around the corner!! And it's not just Christmas that I'm counting down to!!!

I'm still pretty new to all this blogging and while my entries suck I have found several others blogs that I really enjoy keeping up with. Maybe with a little luck I'll find a few good friends on here. I'll at least have fun...and that's all that counts!
