My Opera is closing 3rd of March

everyday life of a stay at home mom/artist

do i have to think of a title?

, , , , , , , ,

Ok, so I must be tired, I don't even want to think up a title for my blog post. I don't want to. smile
So how is everyone? Good? I love you guys/gals. You guys/gals are my support group. When I get too busy to come on here, I will miss you guys/gals and think of you. I promise to never get too busy to stop in and check on my blog. Ever. As long as Opera is alive. lol

So today I mowed the backyard. It has been raining for .....umm.......I think 17 days no stop. I think. Yeah so it flooded, you guys know that. Even my grandmother's house flooded. Poor grammy. sad We went out there this weekend and helped her with moving furniture and that sort of thing. They had to pull up all of her flooring. The floating wood floor that she JUST had installed. sad And ALL of the carpet. I think maybe she was ready for the carpet to go. She hated it anyway. But now she is dealing with cement slab floor. And that is not cute.

I am not sure what they are going to do with her floor now. My uncles are supposed to come and fix it for her. They are both a days drive from her, so I think they are coming in August when they have time. Poor grammy! The water flowed through her house like a river!!!! No one knew this would happen, she just moved in there.

sad flooding stinks

Parks are now lakes

People are forced out of their homes.

The rivers are betraying us!

Umm, what else? Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Tonight I took the girls just up the road to watch the fireworks. The Country Club is about 2 miles (3km) from me so all we had to do was drive up to a clear road to see them. Oh yeah...they were coming from the country club by the way.

Tomorrow they will be out at the Air force Base. As far as I know. I know that there is flooding, so I am a little confused if they are going to have them there this year or not. confused Oh well, we shall see tomorrow.

Ugh, it is late almost 11 pm and I am extremely tired. So excuse me I am going to bed. Will try to take pics of the fireworks to post. Well, everyone has seen fireworks, but oh well, maybe I will get some good shots of the girls or something. yeah. tired. bye.

Gotta love these men!Stinkin' bad mood

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, July 4, 2007 1:34:15 PM

Hitesha,
Sorry to hear that you are going through the same thing. I think it is terrible for anyone to go through, and sometimes feels terribly unfair. I hope things are okay for you.
Sarah

The flooding is terrible and forcing many families out of their homes. I hope everyones health is OK. Hang in there, and remember we are there for you.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, July 4, 2007 2:49:59 PM

love thanks! Thanks God my house did not suffer from
any flooding....family members...different story.

I forgot to mention, my father-in-law took in a couple of family members that had water almost to their ceiling! They live directly by a 'creek' that is now a RIVER! yikes I don't know if they will ever have their house back. sad

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Wednesday, July 4, 2007 6:12:09 PM

I ain't worried... My craziness is infectious. Anyone down sitting near me will catch the "Happy Bug". It's almost 99% infectious. lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, July 4, 2007 7:50:34 PM

Loiscakkleberrylane Thursday, July 5, 2007 12:11:26 PM

Very sorry to hear about all the flooding and especially your grammy's house. Hope you can all get it fixed even better than it was before. And of course, the rain makes the grass grow, and grow and grow and grow!

CherylDuckyChickenLady Thursday, July 5, 2007 12:26:49 PM

Wow, so sorry to hear about the incessant rain! And your poor Grammy! sad
I pray the sun comes out...that'll make everything seem better..even for a while.
IT's been crappy weather here too. Cold, wet, dark..yuck...but no flooding. Thanks be to GOD!
Take care....heart

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Thursday, July 5, 2007 12:32:05 PM

Hi Lois, ty for stopping by. Yes, I think she is putting in ceramic tile. Or at least that is what she wants. I think that style is beautiful, so I am looking forward to seeing what happens.
heart

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Thursday, July 5, 2007 12:33:55 PM

Cheryl, Yes, the sun came out yesterday. But the days seem to start off slowly and cloudy. Usually in the summer they are bright and stunning in the morning. lol But it will get better soon.

So it has been rainy there as well? Hope you guys are finding fun stuff to do. I am going to check your blog. smile

heart

Loiscakkleberrylane Thursday, July 5, 2007 7:10:18 PM

Glad to hear that the sun came out. I know she'll love the ceramic tile and it's pretty easy to lay on a concrete slab. Also (my favorite part) - very easy to clean!

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Friday, July 6, 2007 6:26:05 AM

Is there plenty of good stuff to do in Texas...?

Except of cos, the part where the cows are sent to the car wash (thanx to Superman's post)... bigeyes

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, July 6, 2007 10:27:56 AM

TY Lois,
I do hope she gets ceramic as well! I think it would
look amazing. smile Yes, easy to clean, and she has a
ton of critters running around as well. Not 'critters'
but kittens, cats, dogs, etc. smile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, July 6, 2007 10:30:40 AM

Esther,
lol Oh yes, I need to post pictures of everyday life here. Well, Texas is a vast land of different terrains and things to do. Whatever you want, we basically have.

What do you like to do?

Sarah

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Friday, July 6, 2007 3:25:46 PM

How about nothing and just sit back and watch u knit me a jersey dress...? ninja Get it done, pronto, iMom. And make that dress pink! mad

lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, July 6, 2007 4:16:51 PM

that's too damn complicated lol It is easier to go out!

I just got in from mowing..........again. faint

grass is too wet to mow! so it makes it difficult, but if we don't
do it, then the grass will grow like a jungle.

Do you care? lol

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Friday, July 6, 2007 4:48:28 PM

Yes... I care. rolleyes

I don't understand. Is it so horrid to mow the lawn?? I've never moved my lawn (It's cememnted and it's not even big enough to need a mover! That's city houses for ya! sad).

U won't knit me a jersey dress? Then u'll buy me one? lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, July 6, 2007 5:03:04 PM

lol Yes because the grass is thick!! yuck

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Friday, July 6, 2007 7:28:09 PM

Really... None of my neigbors have ever mowed a lawn aither, I'm sure. In a concrete jungle, unless ya wanna mow yer potted plants, there's really nothing much to do in the gardens... rolleyes

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, July 7, 2007 2:30:33 PM

then how do u get your oxygen?

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx Saturday, July 7, 2007 3:34:14 PM

From a bottle where we buy from Tesco...

lol

No, there are trees around and there are also parks and gardens but we don't mow public government parks... scared You'll get caught and thrown into jail for that! bigsmile

It's just our houses that ain't big enough for a huge garden. It's like NYC... I'm sure Central Park has oxygen but I'm sure no one mows Central Park... bigsmile
