Ahhh Just Enjoying the Little Things!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I did! I ran into an old co-worker in the supermarket of all places. He and I worked together 20 years ago...so weird that it has been that long. It was really good to see him though. My sister stopped over with 2 of my nephews on Saturday and we laughed and talked. She was full of smiles and so happy.  I love my sister's boys too..all 5 of them, they are so sweet and well behaved!
I have really stepped back and looking at life differently lately. It really feels good too! I spent the weekend doing a little sewing. I have to get this  Gingerbread Girl Ornament in the mail to my friend and it is coming out so cute. I will post a picture soon. Oh yeah and Friday my 3 y/o and I made a heart shaped pillow for Valentine's Day. She did a great job but then pulled it apart later...oh well!
I just had to write this...I found out today that I have a blog stalker! How creepy! Her name is Linda and she is from somewhere in a very dark place from Our past. When I blog I usually type feeling that I am writing to friends, family from a far, and customers but never stopped to think that sad scarey, unhappy, mean people would be reading my blog just to find out things about myself and my husband...I just wanted to share this because you might want to rethink what you write and WHO is reading it!!!!
Thanks Again for Reading {{{{HUGS}}}

Enough All Ready!!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have been going through the most awful ordeal ever. I was not feeling well on Friday & Saturday nights..tummy pains. On Sunday January 30th I went to the ER and almost passed out waiting. They took me back and started the ususal poking and proding...I had a CAT Scan that showed my entire bowel was inflamed and infected, they also saw some sort of mass....WHAT??? Mass? OM Gosh..I was really scared but who knew that it was only going to get worse...Jan 31st was our 7 year Anniversary and we both forgot with all of this excitement going on. The next day was more meds and IV's and my veins were not helping...tons of sticks then the pain subsided and I really was starting to feel some what better (no tummy pain anymore). They decided to send me down for another CAT Scan to see how things looked now after several days of antibiotics. Well let me tell you my body did not like the 3 giant cups of orange tasting die...I have never suffered diarrhea like that..sorry for the TMI!!! Anyway, that night I was cleaning myself up and had lots of good news and feeling better about things. I was right in the middle of saying my prayers at around 12am and BANG my heart goes crazy..beating I believe it was about 190 bpm...I thought I was having a heart attack..I was already on the Telemetry floor but all alone and scared! I called my husband and with what breath I could muster I told him incase I don't make it through this I love you and please tell all of the kids I love them...It seemed to go on for 5-10 min. I am not really sure...It was the scarest thing I have ever experienced in my life..I really thought it was over. Anyway after several more tests they decided it was Acute Colitis and sent me home on Thursday evening. I am still weak, tired..and not 100% sure that there isn't something else lingering yet but at least I am home and feeling somewhat better. I am nervous to do the next two tests on the 22nd but want to know what is going on so I can relax or tackle it!
So glad to be alive!!!! Not working right now. I will update soon,
Thanks for reading...{{HUGS}} Jen

Must have been a long walk for that recipe..LOL

Howdy Folks!

Sorry it took me SO long to post again. Before I forget here is the totally awesome Chocolate recipe I promised and you can find the recipe here:

These would make a great Valentine's Day gift also. I do not add the nuts and I do not add the butterscotch bits but you may want to.
So here is what has been going on with me...Jan. 12th was my 44th Birthday :( And it was one of the worst days I have had in a VERY long time. I got a call from my husband around lunch time saying that there was an accident at work and he lost all of his teeth..then he said I am on my way to the hospital and I will call you later. I was so upset not hearing from him then for hours..the day totally dragged and I was worried sick. By evening I started making phone calls and trying to find him and find out what was going on...I finally got hold of his boss and able to talk to someone that was with him. He had surgery and came home around 9pm. He looked like someone beat him up. This will be a long recovery for him...poor guy he can hardly eat!
Then a few days later my son Sean and his wife CC came home for a visit...YAY! I met my Granddaughter for the 1st time...so sweet. She is only 3 months old

The day Sean arrived my other son Braeden left to hang steel in NC. What a day! When they got here we all got sick, including the baby :( and woke up one morning with no heat. We called the landlord only to find that one of the kids flipped the emergency switch on the wall by accident and shut off the oil burner...Oops...Sorry to have made you come over here 1st thing in the morning Mr Landlord...he he  Anywho, needless to say there has not been a whole lot of crafting going on here.
I re-opened Log Cabin Crafters on Etsy (www.logcabincrafters.etsy.com) and cleaning out some of my business supplies so head over for some good deals! Here is an example of what is up for sale

Thanks for reading...until next time,
Jen
