It has been a little longer than I thought.
Just been busy busy. C's car has been in the shop since Dec because of a antifreeze link. They finally pulled it in to actually diagnose the problem about 10 days ago and told us it needed some new gaskets. Me thinking it would cost mroe to get her into a different car ok'd the repair. Went to get it just the otehr day and it runs HORRIBLE> I mean it barely starts and will only go about 20 mph and has a horrible noise. I made her leave it there. I think after paying over 700.00 for a repair that it should at least run as well as it did when I dropped it off.. So anyway, I have been having to pick her up from work each evening. I was driving them to school, going in and picking up T at 2:30 and tehn back again to pick up C at 8. Luckily R has been heading into work early enough to take them lately as well as pick T up from school. In the beginning I was spending hours a day in the car and almost 200 miles aday on my car. I am down to only and hour aday now but I need them to get her car fixed.
I ave been so lazy I have done much else besides The regular housework. Uggh. We are trying to potty train now so that is another interesting thing and our once 20 lb puppy is now a 70 lb 5 month old puppy! Yikes. We are seriously working on some training with her.
Had another yucky storm move in and hte kids were released from school early. Was a total mess since T cant ride the bus he was stuck in town til dad could get him on his lunch break and C had to work at 5 and had really nowhere to go so she went to work early. I knew if the buses couldnt make it I definately couldnt.
I am hoping to get a little more done this week and have several projects up my sleeve.
I did get my craft room cleaned out after the Christmas mess! I need to contact the trash people to bring us an extra can as I am trying to squeeze all of this in a weeks worth of a can and it is not fitting!
I bought another Older Bernina today. It had some feet with it and some bobins. It looks like new but they didnt have a pedal for it , the cord is there but no pedal. They had it marked 2.00 for parts but I think it is just because they couldnt test it without a pedal. I am going to try the one from my other BErnina. This one isnt as fancy as the 830 I have but would be great to jsut pull out for some simple stitchin. Even if it doesnt work the cord and feet are worth 2.00!I also bought some little Wilton mini tube cake pans for .50 and get this... We had new windows put in over hte summer, Well theya re a different size as we had them custom made for our house adn the size that fit best. I went to lowes the other day to look at window coverings. We have curtains now but there are times when we need a little more coverage as the sun shining off of the snow just glares in and if you are sitting in the living room you can barely see. I thought about wooden blinds but to have them custom made jsut for the 1 window was more than I wanted to spend since I get bore quickly. I saw some nice woodenflat fold blinds and was really set on buying them. I went to the thrift today and guess what I found. Hunter Douglas wooden blinds in oak with a 2.00 price tag on them and they are the EXACT size of my window. Crazy! Jus need to go but the brackets but I seen those too at Lowes. Super stoked. Pictures as soon as I get them up. So enough babbling but really have a ton of things I am doing but never finish much!
