MONDAY.... YEAH!

 I know most people don't particularly like Mondays, but I do.

Much as I love Stew, I like it when he goes to work!

I like having the house to myself.

PEACE.

I can do what I want.  Which is usually getting the house totally spic 'n' span, then just enjoying it!

Do you know how long it's taken to have my home exactly how I want it, and not have anyone mess it up?  YEARS. DECADES IN FACT.

ABOVE:  THIS.  IS.  SO.  TRUE.

If you only have 1-2 kids, you probably cannot relate.

Try having 8.

OMG.

I may not have a crackhead or a preacher in my family.  But I sure have a mixed bag of people I call 'family'.

But the biggest thing that matters to me is this.

LOYALTY.  LOVE. CARING about one another.

That's what matters.  Nothing else.

And that is another of the biggest reasons my blog is going PRIVATE in a few days.

So those who are LOYAL and LOVING will still be able to see what we are doing on a daily basis, and those who are backstabbing bastards cannot.

I will not have trolls and haters having a go at me, threatening me and so on.

This move to going Private is something I should have done at least 2 years ago.

I'm so glad I finally got over the hesitancy and uncertainty of breaking a 16 year 'habit', and am just going to DO IT. 

Today is Monday.  By Friday this blog will be PRIVATE.

Remember, there will be updates on Facebook fairly regularly, but probably not daily.  I will do photo posts mostly of what's been going on, what we have been doing... but in retrospect.  Not necessarily on the same day events happen.

It's called being safe.  That is big to me.

NO MORE HATEFUL/MEAN/NASTY COMMENTS!  If I get any... well I can just block that person.  

I know I've hammered this MOVE to Facebook for days, but I need you to really understand why I'm doing it, and to give you all time to send me a friend request if you want to.

I am not going to say 'SORRY' for going Private, because it's what is best for me.  And most of you have been really lovely and understanding about that.

So instead, I will say  'THANK YOU'.

Thank You for following my blog for however long you have, and I hope you have enjoyed reading it.

Today, after my morning jobs, I am going to do some sewing.  I have three runners that I'd like to get finished before a market I'm doing in July.

My pretty quilt is a long term project, to be fitted around other things.  I will post Progress photos of it, on Facebook.

Oh, I am going back to The Warehouse this morning, to get a few more of those 'pantry' baskets too.  I've got some spaces that I can use more in. I really love those baskets, and they are such a good price.

10.43 am:  And I managed to get 10 more of those PANTRY boxes.  Seems I left out the R in Pantry earlier on.  'Someone' found it amusing. (Dee)

The Warehouse was a ghost town.

I've never seen it so empty before.

Since I got home, I've used 8 more boxes in the pantry, and have two left as 'spares'.

Just had a bit to eat cos I was starving... left over scones from yesterday.

Now?  Better make my bed... I totally forgot to do it first thing this morning.  MOST unlike me I might add.

It's usually right up there on my 'gotta do' list.

ABOVE:  Coco in her happy place.

ABOVE:  And me in mine.  Half way to finishing this runner.

Thinking about dinner.

Forgot lunch, so kinda hungry.

I've got some left over beef stew... but I really feel like HOT CHIPS!  LOL

Well that was just lovely.  We had a burger and chips from Burger Fuel... the best burgers ever.

I folded all the washing I got done today and put it all away.  Good job done.

Time to wind down now... off to bed in an hour to so.
