leaving

ROBBIE IS LEAVING IN ABOUT A MONTH. JUST THE THOUGHT ALONE SCARES ME. I KEEP WONDERING HOW EVAN IS GOING TO DO WITH HIS DADDY GONE. I WORRY FOR HIM. I PRAY THAT GOD GIVES ME THE STRENGTH I NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS. HE IS BASICALLY GOING TO GONE FOR 8 MONTHS. AFTER THE FIRST NINE WEEKS OR SO I WILL HAVE MORE CONTACT WITH HIM BUT IT IS STILL GOING TO BE. I GUESS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MARRY SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE ARMY.  I AM JUST SCARED. HE IS MY ROCK. I AM GOING TO NEED MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MORE THAN EVER. GOD PLEASE HELP ME GET THROUGH THIS.

salt dough

I found this recipe on another bloggers blog. the imagination tree is the name of her blog check it out you wont be sorry. she has tons of cool ideas. all you need for the salt dough is:
1 cup of flour
1 cup of salt
1/2 cup of water


mix it all together. if it is sticky feeling add more flour to the mixture. one it is all mixed up you can make cute little critters,bowls, names, or flatten it out and put your childs hand or foot creating a cute rock with your childs hand or foot print. once you have the cool creation place it on a cookie sheet. on 200 degrees leave it in the oven for 2 hours. if it is still soft let it bake longer. once the top half gets hard i have discovered that flipping it over so the button half can bake works best. once it is done baking let it cool. then let your child paint it. i am sorry about the photos being side ways. for some reason it would not rotate them

something that should be easy is making me pull me hair out

ok i have desided to do something sweet for my hubby. i will tell you at a later date what it is. however in the mean time it was suppose to be something sweet has turned into something that me discouraged, flustered, and annoyed. i am making phone calls that leave me wanting to choke the person on the other end of the phone. grrr. all i need is my questions answered and to pay some people but they wont even allow me to give them money. what kind of person does not want money???? a crazy one. as you can tell i am highly annoyed.

ALOT LIKE LOVE

I WATCHED ALOT LIKE LOVE WITH KAYE THE OTHER DAY. LAST TIME I SAW WAS WHEN IT CAME OUT A COUPLE YEARS BACK. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I LOVE HOW THE GUY PLAYED BY ASHTON KUTCHER AND THE GIRL BY PLAYED AMANDA PEET HAVE ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN RELATIONSHIP. BUT IN THE END DISCOVER THAT THEY ALWAYS HAD EACH OTHER. HE WAS DETERMINED TO FOLLOW HIS DREAMS AND SHE TENDS TO JUST GO WITH THE FLOW. IT AMAZING WHERE LIFE CAN TAKE US AND WE ALWAYS END UP IN ARMS OF THE ONE THAT GOD MEANT FOR US TO HAVE ALL ALONG. NOW I WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE AGAIN...

HOMEMADE FINGER PAINT

I HAVE SEVERAL RECIPES FOR HOMEMADE FINGER PAINT. MY TWO FAVORITES ARE VERY SIMPLE. THE FIRST ONE ALL YOU WILL NEED IS DISH SOAP, CORNSTARCH, AND FOOD COLORING. PUT THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF DISH SOAP INTO A BOWL ADD CORNSTARCH UNTIL YOU GET THE CONSISTANCY THAT YOU WANT. THEN ADD SOME FOOD COLORING. AND NOW YOU GOT FINGER PAINT. WHEN IT DRIES ON THE PAPER IT IS RAISED AND SOFT TO THE TOUCH. EVAN LOVES IT. THE OTHER RECIPE IS NOT AS GOOD BECAUSE IT HAS A REFIDGERATED WHEN NOT IN USE. YOU TAKE ONE CUP OF FLOUR AND ONE CUP OF WATER. MIX WELL. IF IT IS TO THICK ADD MORE WATER. ONCE YOU FIND THE CONSISTANCY THAT YOU WANT ADD FOOD COLORING.
