Times Up!

Ok so I am assuming that I have all the entries for the give away. Stay tuned to see if you are the winner!

Wordless Wednesday (and dont forget the give away!)

100TH POST GRAND PRIZE GIVE AWAY!!!!

So here it is, my first ever GRAND PRIZE GIVE AWAY!!!

So because I have such a small blog an so few followers do not have a huge amount of resources but I am using the ones I do have.

So here it is!!

The Rules

1. You must list yourself as a follower in order to win this give away! I am trusting that most of the people who read this have already done so but all the same that is rule number one!

(And do not list yourself as a follower and then take yourself off after the contest, that would just be rude!)

2. You must post my give away either on your facebook page or your own blog.

(I could really use the advertising!)

3. You must leave a comment on this blog, telling me how badly you want to win all the fabulous prizes. (no begging!)

See that wasn't so hard, just three rules...

So here are the major awards...

My husband is a budding photographer so I will be giving away this beautiful picture in the size of your choice (up to 11x14 ) This lovely piece of art is currently hanging in my bathroom and it does look stunning! Available in sepia or other color tones as well!

Also I will be giving a lovely set of hand made jewelry to the winner. Made personally by myself. ( I know the picture is hard to see, sorry! If you win and you live close by you can come an choose for yourself what you would like. If you do not live close by you can specify a color choice and I will try to accommodate)

I am also giving to the lucky winner a Solitude CD by the inspiring up and coming artist Sherrie Shepherd! This music is absolutely beautiful!

And last but not least I am giving away a cute little needle felted pig hand made by my friend Jo. They are the most adorable things I have ever seen!!

Well there you go, let the mayhem begin!!!!

Randomness and music

I am grumpy today. I woke up after a rough nights sleep and that makes me very grumpy. I tried to go back to sleep after I took the girls to school but that never works for me. Why is it that when I desperately want to sleep I can't and when I need to be awake I am groggy. I have been groggy for about a week straight now. I put it all down to being drugged up on Benadryl. I did however figure out what it was that I am reacting to. I apparently can not take a certain kind of antibiotic. At least I know that now. I refuse to keep taking the stupid Benadryl however, because I am so tired of being tired, so I am itchy until the Prednison (sp) does its job.

Lucky me!

I have a big decision coming up. I can't work during the summer because I do not have anyone to watch the kiddos. So I have to decide if I am going to stay with my job and just work on Saturdays or if I am going to quit all together. The problem is that I need a job when they are in school and they are a little hard to come by these days. What I really need it a job that I can go to when the girls are in school and can leave when they get out. One that I can have summers off and all holidays. OK I know that it sounds like I need to be working at a school right... well easier said than done. S suggested that I apply to be a substitute but, I have serious issues that this state does not require substitutes to have any kind of training. Therefor I feel that it would be kind of hypocritical to apply for something that I have no training for. Maybe this is the time to go back to school after all.

Who knows?

I have been trying so hard to exercise regularly lately. I either use the elliptical (thanks to our neighbors that we are storing it for... Thanks Cassie and Paul, we will keep it for as long as you need us to!) for 20 minutes every morning or I go for a 2 and a half mile walk. I do feel so much better when I get regular exercise, but this morning I just couldn't convince myself to do it. Part of the problem is motivation and part of the problem is just exhaustion.

Tomorrow will be better... right?

Not Gifted, and bored.

I have decided that I am not meant to be a writer. Rarely to do have the vocabulary or the mental ability to be able to come up with witty prose. I read a lot of different blogs lately and some of these women have a true gift for putting what they are thinking down in type.

I

sadly

do not have this gift

If you are interested in those that do, I suggest you check out some of the blogs listed to the left of the screen.

So if you are reading this expecting poetry or even something that makes sense I suggest you go elsewhere.

If you are reading out of curiosity, then hopefully you will choose to stay a while and enjoy some of my previous blogs.

If you are a regular visitor then I am hoping that is because you have at some point found something to amuse you.

If you are just reading because we are friends and you feel obligated, well thanks for the support.

I have a fairly non exciting life, I will admit. I have a wonderful husband that works all day. I have two great kids that spend all day in school. I have a chintzy little part time job that I hardly ever have to go to. I have a gigantic load of house work that I neglect on a regular basis.

So you might ask...

"What is it exactly that you do all day Sarah?"

Well.... I do this a lot.

I sit at the computer and blog about my non exciting life. I check Facebook a lot... OK way too much. I do read a lot, but not of course as much as I used to. I seem to do laundry, and dishes at least a few minutes every day.

I do seem to ask myself the same question frequently.

What do I do all day?

So here is my question for all of you...

What do you do all day?

Donations

Hey Y'all, I am looking for people who want to donate to my give away. I would love to pay for whatever I am giving away if people insist on that but would be more than happy if you want to just give stuff away because it is good advertising. Either way just let  me know if you have any interest in being part of my 100th blog give away.
