On a roll – and then …
I was on a roll, feeling good(!) – UNTIL … But first, the good: I got through the weekend(!), while taking care of some difficult, NEEDY patients and families … (‘nuf said!) I was able to get to sleep early Monday morning, allowing for some quality evening time – family (two-legged), romp (four-legged), and the …
The cup is more than half full … and it’s Summer
Had our weekly photo-shoot. Sienna’s boys are showing signs of being ready for more sustenance (weaning). Zonie’s babies have opened their eyes. We have folks calling and visiting regularly – which means the maid is working double duty, but hey … it’s all good. Look at all that squishy-love! Have squeezed out a few …
I should know better …
than to play in my studio when I’m annoyed and tired. But no … I’m waiting to see if the sun will come out (for a quick dip in the pool) before crashing – after a long, busy night at work – in order to go back for 12 more hours of fun tonight. So …
Studio Time, Presents and Dogs … OH MY!
Have eked out some studio time … playing with a Tigger (from Winnie the Pooh – DH’s favorite) ornament. I plan to paint it, but set it on my recent blank (in oranges, reds and golds) and I kinda like the look … Whatcha think? (It’s black glass paint, that looks gray until fused …) …
Sunshine …THANK YOU!!!
It was wayyy too early to start feeling S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) … but with 4 days of cloudy-gloom in AUGUST – that’s what was happening! So thank you sunshine for appearing! DH and the kids thank you too! My time in the studio was also much needed – and productive: Spoon rests cut; A …
22 Years of Wedded Bliss …
OK – not always. But we do have our moments … Like – now. While granting me some alone/studio time, DH is making dinner, while the twins babysit the den (pups). Awww … And, I’ve got to show off the sweet card he gave me. Yeah – that would be his ‘southpaw’ chicken- scratch declaring …
Wish me luck …
Time to take a deep breath and hit the week running … In between the demands of daily driver’s ed for the twins, our puppy nursery (9 days old today), our canine ante-partum nursery (Mama Zonie is due this week), photography, shipping glass packages (love that), and working “Mom’s Diner” – I’ve got the DARN …
Of Course …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
Die-Hard Sun-Worshipper
You know you’re a Magda-wanna-be/die-hard sun-worshipper if … you found yourself in the pool this afternoon in Michigan – just in time for the threatening clouds to unload, as they had been promising to do all afternoon. Yep – that was me. I am now well-watered, along with the rest of my garden. But I …
I feel like I’m in ‘Time-Out’ …
In trying to grant the twins (quietly supervised) alone time with their teen-age friends, giving them full access to the house and pool – I’m stuck in my office, feeling like I’m in a time-out (can’t be in the studio, and my pool is over-run with loud, laughing teen-agers, and no ‘adult refreshments’ either!!) … [Heavy …
