Funky little plants

I saw these plants on a show called "Private Life Of Plants."

Later, I was at plant store buying dirt and saw them for sale. They are called Rock plants. They are succulents. One is even flowering.

Trying to "weave"

This is a piece that I have been working on for a while now. I was hoping to get it to appear as if I weaved it. I am not quite sure that it worked out like I had planned, but, it kind of turned out interesting.

I have had such a full plate these last 2 weeks. I finally had a day "off" yesterday, and alas, I accidentally picked up the phone. After that, I had a stressful, wasteful day. I just hate when I do that. I don't normally screen my calls. I like when people answer me, so, I answer them, usually happily. But this person and I are not friends, we are school acquaintances at best. Long Long Long story filled with being broadsided and dumb struck (not an uncommon occurrence these days, short, I ended up making her very mad by the end of the day. After 2 conversations with the school principal and 3 conversations with a good friend of mine, now, I find myself searching for the rock I just crawled out from under.

It is odd that my life used to be filled with confrontation. I was actually "good" at it. It was part of my every day life. I put my gloves on every morning, along with my matching shirt and socks. Now, I usually run as fast as I can from it. I change my agenda to avoid it. I am not as efficient to say the least, with out it, and yet, I, for the most part embrace my new found inefficiency. Even if the service in the restaurant sucks, I just tip them 10% instead of 20%.

Now as I sit here with another sleepless night under my belt, I will be reaching for my coffee, stare into the distance for a bit, and then get the kids up for another round, we call a day. DING DING.... come out fighting.

I feel this way somedays

This is Nala. She can be a challenge to photograph. She spends most of her time out doors. Here she is getting sustenance before a long prowl. I feel like her some days. But mostly, because, I like to bury my face in a food bowl.

She looks a bit crazed, and.......well, so do I!! K~

1st week of school

We made it!!

The first week of school has come and gone..... And we are still standing (or really sitting). C - 5th grade, D- 3rd grade started on Tuesday.

S - Kindergarten (all day) started on Thursday. They all seemed like they really had a nice transition. YEAH!! Me..... Well, I was unsure of what to do with myself on Thursday. Today, Rick and I hung out for the day.
