I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately. First, I started a new job that pays well, but the hours aren't there yet. It's a new surgery center, and we're waiting for the inspection that will get us busier. In the meantime, I forgot I had a blog. I started writing in my journal again, and that really helps me keep my thoughts in focus.
Several of my 'artquilts' have been accepted by the Donterra Artworks gallery in Sisters, Oregon. you can read my artist bio at: www.donterra.com
There are some really great artists on display! I take pride in being a westerner. Talent runs amok around here!
I've also made a couple of good friendships since I started the job. It's nice to be able to look forward to a busy day with them.:)
Chasing around my son, Joe keeps me busy since his sisters are at their dad's house for a few weeks this summer. He's talking up a storm, but not speaking english. My brother says he's speaking Ewok...(Star wars freak)
Counting calories has been a big part of my day. There are 25 calories in one Hershey's kiss. Peanut butter has 100 calories per tablespoon! ACK! I'll stick to beer.
My living conditons are going to change drastically in the next few weeks. In order to save up money for school, a house, etc. I decided to buy a 5th wheel and live on my mom's property for now. I bargained some space from her so I could still sew so I won't lose my mind... I hope.
It will be worth it in the end, I just hope my kids understand why I'm doing this. I hope it teaches them how important it is to get an education and be self-sufficient so they can have the things they want out of life.
I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics on here at work. I have several to show you all.

I'll be here, blogging whenever I can. Miss you, internet. :)
