my day

It's been a busy week.
My boyfriend and me redecorated my daughters bedroom for her birthday. It turned out beautful. We managed to keep her out of the room for a week while we worked on it. She was totally surprised and she loved the end result.
13 years ago yesterday I gave birth to my daughter. She has two older brothers and I was certain I was going to have another boy. I had an ultra-sound while pregnant with her but they were unable to determine her sex. When she was born and the doctor said it was a girl, I thought he was lying. I was so happy to have a little girl. She was the most beautiful baby in the whole world. And now she's a teen. A lovely little girl with a heart of gold, and a smile that melts my heart. Thank you God for my children. :O)
Nothing much planned for today. I need to cut the grass and clean my bathroom and kitchen floors and I need to pay bills. Not the most exciting life in the world, but i'll take it.

Starting From Scratch

It was a busy weekend.
I took my son school clothes shopping. He just about finished, but still needs a few more shirts and a pair of shoes. I hate clothes shopping for the kids. Especially for my daughter. She is so picky.
I bought their school supplies a couple weeks ago.
We went to my sons exhibition football game yesterday. I don't understand football much but dad said that my son did a great job. I think the whole football thing is bizarre, and violent.......but for whatever reason, my son enjoys the game.
Yesterday was my sons 17th birthday.After his football game we lit the candles on the cake, sang to him and he opened his gifts and then I took my 2 sons, their girlfriends, my daughter and my boyfriend out to dinner to celebrate. We had Chinese (my sons choice) ....had a nice time at the restraunt....mood was lite, everyone talking and laughing. It was a nice evening.
After dinner I went across the street to an estate sale. I bought a beautiful entertainment center. It was a steal.
I'm thinking about throwing away my living room furniture and just starting from scratch. Which reminds me of the movie Angel Eyes. I had a dear friend who asked me to watch that movie. He said it reminded him of our relationship and the story lines ran parallel to what was going on in each of our own personal lives at the time. It's not the best movie in the world but there is a scene in the movie, and if nothing else, whoever wrote that movie, did a great job at writing that scene.....it's the scene at the graveyard and the lead character is talking to his wife and son....it's heart wrenching .....so anyway...i'd like to start from scratch.....buy one great item at a time, and re-do the whole place....make it my castle.....express who I really am through art work, furniture, colors, plants, fabrics ect. :O)...and that's all....have a great Monday.
