Well tomorrow will be the start of a very long ten days that I am not looking forward to. My MIL is driving in from Colorado tonight and is staying with her mother at her sisters place. Confused yet? Grandma can no longer live on her own and has moved in with one of her daughters. Well this daughter has to go out of town on a trip for her job so her sister (my MIL) is coming to say with her. So far so good, that is until I made the offer of going up there for 4 days since the kids don't have school Monday and Tuesday to help out and she could spend some extra time with her grand kids. What I got in return was that we have to many people and it will be to stressful. To stressful to have extra help and see the grand kids? And she wants only our little one to stay for part of the week even though the older ones don't have school on Monday or Tuesday. Of course I got mad about this and it all ended up in a fight with my significant other. Earlier this week the plan was to go up on Saturday morning. At dinner tonight I told him I had made arrangements for the dog for the weekend and that we needed to drop him off Saturday on the way out of town. At that point I was told we are leaving Friday night! I'm so fed up with the whole deal that when I come home on Sunday all three kids are coming home with me. I will not be having any part of this playing favorites crap. I would really rather just stay home with all of them and wash my hands of it but that I can't get out of. Next Saturday we all have to meet at Grandma's house to pack all her stuff and move it to her daughters place were she is staying. I think the kids and I just might stay home for that trip. We will have to see how it goes this weekend. Unfortunately my significant other does not see it as playing favorites and has taken his mothers side on this.
Sorry about the rant but getting things off my chest keeps me from blowing up at the wrong person. You know what I mean, the person who has nothing to do with what your upset about but says or does the wrong thing and it is the straw that breaks the camels back? When I'm upset I tend to just let it build and take it and take it until I finally erupt. The kids will tell you when I erupt, RUN! Thankfully it happens only a couple of times a year, I let things build and fester for a long time. The long fuse does have it's up sides and down sides though.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments! If you would like to wear/share my blinky on your blogs you are more then welcome to! Any free advertising is a bonus for me! Thank You!
I have also received a few requests for some new fan kits!
So on my to do list is:
Twins ~ Started
Yankees ~ Started
Georgia Bulldogs
Cincinnati Bengals
Keep the requests coming!
Requests don't necessarily have to be for Fan kits. Any past freebie!
Or if you have a certain color pallet and theme you'd like me to try, send it on over! I'm always looking for a challenge! Or if you are in need of a template with a certain number of pictures or anything just let me know. With out you folks there wouldn't be any freebies! Heck the fan kits got there start with the "Raiders Fan" Kit that I made so I could make a desktop for my significant others school computer. Now we have 32 from last season and 4 more in the works for this season! Keep them coming!
Today was not a very eventful day in itself. I chatted with Simona off and on. Checked out a new scrapbook store that opened here. Did some shopping for the little one with some of her birthday money. She got all toys as gifts so I took some of the cash and got her some jeans and snow boots. Man snow boots already can't believe it, but it is right around the corner. Fall was definitely short this year. With the rain for the last two weeks the trees are all drab grey instead of the normal bright fall colors. We are also supposed to get our first hard freeze tonight so this afternoon we harvested all the remaining items in the garden. Onions, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, and more tomatoes! Oh and it is supposed to snow were we are going this weekend!
Now that I have ranted, rattled and taken every side track there is, how about we get to our freebie?
Tonight's re-visited Freebie by request is the "BYU Fan" Kit

Good Morning! What a day you had yesterday!! Hope today goes better and you get everything harvested. We got snow here yesterday! Nothing stuck to the ground, but it fell for about a hour or so....big, fat wet flakes. We're supposed to get some this weekend along with you. As of 9am mtn time we'll be the only state with ski resorts open...2 of them at that!!
Hugs
Michele
Thank you!!! I'm surprised you could make one so fast!
I know what you mean about favorites, I was adopted and my brother wasn't. Guess it's in grandparent's will that only blood relatives can inherit! Oh, well. hubby and I are doing fine without that money.
Score!!! Thank you!! There's nothing cuter than my daughter cheering, "BYU! BYU! GOOOOOOO cougars!!!"
