I know my husband is going to yell at me when I tell him that I'm going to need more of my hitch this morning, but I've been so stressed out lately that I don't know what to tell him. I'm trying to go to school, pack up my house, clean another house, and clean this one, move, and take care of him and myself at the same time. Now I've caught something like a cold or what have you, and it's making me sick as a dog... I've felt like throwing up all night, and this moving crap is for the birds.

My poor cats don't even know what to think, much less myself. I'm behind in all my classes, and I'll never catch up at this rate. I'm studying till the weeee hours in the morning then getting very little sleep. I can't go on like this for very much longer. Last night for instance, I woke at midnight thinking it was 4 in the morning, made coffee, fed the cats and watered them, started studying then realized the time. By the time I started my third cup of coffee, I started getting sick to my stomach and couldn't study anymore. I couldn't lie down afraid I would barf all over the place so I slept sitting up on the couch.

I woke back up @ 3:30 started packing more stuff as my mother is coming up today to help move stuff and my husband hasn't been doing the packing, I have. I'm about to scream, or have a breakdown one. I don't know which will come first. I simply have way too much on my plate!!!

Plain and simple... no explanation required. I'm up late studying and have a quiz tomorrow on something I have absolutley no understanding on. Y? Because the professor goes way too fast in the class and doesn't explain stuff to where the average joe, (such as myself) can understand it. Geesh... wish he would slow down one day long enough for the flames to extinguish themselves from the paper and pencil we're having to write so fast to keep up. I try to participate, but that's like answering wrong each time I try.

I try to learn this stuff, but it's a 24/7 thing with it... and he doesn't try to help very much if you talk with him.

Anybody ever have professors like that?

all is well in the neighborhood, I'm back on track with etsy... new items in the shop. Hope you like them.    

OOOOh... as if all wasn't bad enough, I tried,,, notice tried, going to the viewing yesterday. The son decided, or should I say... they had a "family meeting' and that it was improper for me, being the "other woman" to show my respects.

he stopped me outside the door. told me this, and I went off. He asked me why I was there, I told him to show my respects for her, for you, for the kids, and to support bob. Apparently, that wasn't enough. Hell, my family even sent flowers.

Bob told him where to go, and I went walking out of the parking lot, bob picked me up... bob being my husband. I went home crying my eyes out.

They are in for a rude awaking, as the house in in my husbands name, and we are going to sell it for 75,000 and some of what's in it and keep some of it. The son isn't getting squat. Not after his little stint. Bob is now part of my family. He disowned his own. What a shame, but the son did it.

as if everything else wasn't enough, yesterday afternoon had to blow up. One good bit of news though, My professor decided to postpone my pre-cal quiz. (Thank god!!!) And I put in for a tutor before I left school. Now then, My hubby and his son went to go make arrangements, after that, we went to take care of Va's medical directive where if you aren't able to sign off for yourself, someone else can, (living will). THEN.... we went to go and clean at the ex's house ... ya know help out for the funeral the next day?...

So much for that. The son's fiance threw a hissy fit because I started to clean too. Apparently she is thinking that she is getting that house but it is willed to my husband. The son said for us to leave because the kids were upset... (chit... they were cuttin' up and laughing). Talk about making someone feel like an outsider. I'm going to the viewing today to show her that she doesn't intimidate me one bit. I'm going to the funeral tomorrow to be there when my husband tells them after it's all over with to get the heck out of our house. I hate that it has to be this way, but, so be it. I'm going to work on homework today, try to get a treasury come 11 or so on etsy, roll my hair up around 2 or so, and be ready to brawl if it comes down to it. I was raised on a farm, i know how to fight and I know how to fight dirty. I can wrestle with the best of 'em.

She's gotta 'nother thing comin' if she thinks that she's gonna run me out of the home that is to be mine.  

okay, this has absolutley nothing to do with etsy, except that beading helped calm me down yesterday. What would you do in my situation? Here goes...

My hubby's ex-wife passed away yesterday morning and well, I feel like an outsider to the family on this. I'm supportive to him as she wasn't very sociable, and he had a long history with her. What do I do? Everything was crazy yesterday, I even lost it for a while thinking about a day that it may happen to me that I might be in the granddaughter's shoes of finding him like she found her grandmother. I'm not looking forward to that and well, I freaked. Plain and simple.

Another thing is... they shared community property on the house as long as she paid the mortgage. So.... guess what? We cannot afford to live here and pay mortgage there too. It's his house now, so we are going to be moving there. How is the rest of the family going to be feeling about this? Oh goodness... I'm full of worries and well, I don't know what to think from one minute to the next.

I did manage to get 3 hrs sleep and I've got a major Pre-calc quiz on trig today. not fun. But ya know what? I am going to take today as it comes and let the rest fall into place. I am just in shock. my hubby is in shock. But I am more worried about things than most. I'm the worrier of them all.

good day.  

yes, this is my week for many things. I'm starting school, I've had three sales over the weekend, I'm being featured in a treasury, and I'm hosting a blog carnival on blogger. Not to mention the dr. appts that I've got to go to and taking care of my hubby. It's going to be a busy busy week, but I like it that way. Stop by and check out my blogger if you get a chance. K?

here a reminder of the addy: http://shannonsaylor-etsyshop.blogspot.com

Well, it's almost time to get ready, i'm nervous this morning, it's only been two yrs since i took pre-cal 1 and bio 1, so i'm just a bit nervous. wish me luck.

Okay, so I'm 35 now and doing what I love to do, I'm working with the computer, getting ready to start back to school Monday, and beading. Not to mention loving my most wonderful husband. Y am I going over this... yesterday was my birthday, and it makes you reflect on stuff. I also got this incredible compliment from a lady that took forever to get to do what she loves. So, I work on my beads, I play with my cats, and I get to go to school learning about anything and everything. I love to learn. Also, I get to be on the computer daily blogging and showing my jewelry. This is just too cool.

Y didn't I think of this before? I'm happy.... I really am. I am where I want to be in life, working on things, staying busy, and living the way I want to live. Gosh, how better could it possibly get? I have 5 great kitties, a wonderful hubby, and a  beading business that is just starting to take off, although that isn't necessarily important, i just love to bead.

Yesterday was a rather interesting day. I created a new myspace just for etsy, and well... if truth be told, I got a connection for an e-commerce grant. I am going to make this phone call this morning as soon as it turns 8, then if the office isn't open yet, I'll call at 9. I want to know about this grant. I want to know allllll about this grant. It just so happens that a gf from high school is my connection. Guess it helps to keep in touch after all.

What do you think???

I'll tell you more about it as soon as I find out about it.        

I worked with the camera yesterday and had gotten my new photo tent yesterday as well. It was a total surprise to get it that fast!!! But it set me up to take shots and work with the camera. I took over 200 shots trying my best to get each piece shot twice ( and sometimes I was having to shoot a couple times for blurry pics). But I had to stop when the camera went down on battery. That was a complete bummer as I only had a couple pieces left. AALLLMOOOST had it too.

But I'll finish it up today, tell me what you think so far...
