Bits~n~pieces: October 2008

Friday, October 17, 2008. As Promised. . . . Here are 2 projects I used the shrinky plastic for. Remember these little PJ bags I made for the boys to help organize their room? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Well Last night I was getting ready to put the final coat of clear sealer on it when I find this. Was the guilty party. Seriously! What were you thinking? Apparently he was talking on the phone and felt the urge to doodle- totally understandable! I guess the stack of junk mail right nex. My first batch faile...

Carrmumble: Out of my system

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2013/11/out-of-my-system.html

Thursday, November 14, 2013. Out of my system. Got the stomach shakes in Walmart today complete with t he wandering around aimlessly. The whole situation made me feel panicked. It happens every year on this day. The first day that I attempt to wrap my head around what we might get our kids for Christmas. My plan (as always) was to put it on layaway today. That way I will have 3 paychecks to divvy up before the get out day. I kinda knew that today wouldn't be successful. It never is. When Three Became Four.

Carrmumble: The me i think i am

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-me-i-am.html

Friday, May 1, 2015. The me i think i am. I was driving around in circles this morning thinking about things. Trying not to be at home or anywhere else that someone might ask me to do something for them. And then it hit me. Like a ton of bricks. And with extreme clarity. I am a grudge holder. 44 years into this freak show and I am starting to understand the me that I think I am. Naturally, I had to have a conversation with myself about this revelation. But it is so clear now. I am pretty good at forgiving.

Carrmumble: Where I Come From

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2014/05/where-i-come-from.html

Saturday, May 17, 2014. Where I Come From. Where I come from. Friends are loyal (whether you like it or not), family comes first (even when you make each other sick), neighbors help each other (even when you secretly wanna take a dump in their yard) and money is hard earned (imagine that). Maybe that is why I sometimes feel so lost in this place that I am now. Even though I love it so. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Join the #RaisinganOriginal Launch Team! A Land of Contrasts….

Carrmumble: April 2013

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Working at home in the trashy garage and still smiling. A few months ago, Jeff started working from home while his office was relocating. Yesterday, he had to report to the new office. And much to my surprise, I am kinda bummed out. Initially, I was on the 'get my husband outta this house' band wagon. But in the last few weeks, I have realized that I really like having him here. But he was here. And we could eat lunch together. And have alone time. And it was so nice. It is my kid.

Carrmumble: May 2013

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 1, 2013. The pleasure of my life. A few days ago, I was having a conversation with a current boss about possible jobs I could do to earn extra money. In the conversation, the person said that he thought I'd be great at real estate because I am friendly. In tryin to talk me into it, he said 'because let's face it Mrs. Carr, you have nothing.' He went on to point out how poor we are and how hard times always are for us. It is true, life is so hard sometimes. But really, poor? When Three Beca...

Carrmumble: Hats All Folks

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2013/11/hats-all-folks.html

Saturday, November 16, 2013. I went to a party the other night. My friend, Sara, was hosting a ladies hat party. Everyone was asked to bring a food item to share and wear their favorite hat or one that is special to them. The truth is, I was pretty much stressed about the whole thing. Unlike Sara, I am not able to share my feelings openly and with a group of ladies. I mean I AM able to share, but it is almost always with a good dose of sarcasm and self depreciation. It was hard for me. What does it say?

Carrmumble: June 2013

http://carrmumble.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 26, 2013. You don't know me. I have 5 kids. I have been pregnant 8 times. At 42 1/2, I would give my left arm (well, maybe pinky) to have another baby. (Or 5). A large family is all I ever wanted in this life. When you read the above statement, you could assume something about me and Jeff - like say that we are Catholic.and pro-life. I do not post political opinions on social media. I took my daughter to the state Capitol tonite and we stood strong with Wendy Davis. I am not judging you.
