Lately I've been getting into custom artwork. I haven't been selling a whole lot, but I'm realizing personalized paintings make great gifts and are perfect for babyshowers and birthdays. For a 16 x 20 sized canvas I charge $75 So I think I'm fairly reasonable too. Here's a sample of my most recent... Sign in to see full entry.

My biggest pet peeve
I absolutely hate when people say, "She's healthy enough to work." Really? Seriously? You want to go there. Lately, I've been feeling like crap. Migraines (with temporary aura blindness), swollen lymph nodes, asthma, severe allergies. I'm also getting monthly iron infusions. My white blood cell... Sign in to see full entry.

What Are the Green Things in Your Life?
There are several ways I try to stay green. When I give my son a bath, I only fill the tub several inches. We have skylights in both bathrooms, so we don't even need a light on during the day. I limit my showers to 5 minutes. I only blow-dry my hair half way and let it air dry the rest of the way.... Sign in to see full entry.

Anybody know of any legit ways of making money online?
My paycheck next month is going to be $300... I've had to call out of work several times. An injury to my son's knee, last minute doctor's appointments, no sitter, health problems, etc. In addition, my client's (I'm a tutor) had springbreak. That means I lose a week of work. Any input would be... Sign in to see full entry.

Anybody else suffer from Endometriosis
I just found out in addition to my iron infusions, I need to have hormone treatments. It looks like endometriosis is causing the mass to return. I'll find out in a few months if I'll need surgery again. I'm utterly exhausted. Between my son and his illness and my illnesses we are at the doctor's... Sign in to see full entry.

Dogs are family too
Today my mom's sweet little toy poodle went missing. My son has slept with this dog everyday for the past 2 years. We drove up and down looking for her for hours. We didn't find her. She has all her tags, but no one called. My son keeps saying, "It's okay mama. She'll come back tomorrow." I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is anger so hard to let go of?
There are so many people from my past that I'm still angry with. My anger sits pent up like a vintage bottle of wine, fermenting over the years, and becoming stronger. I dare not brush away the cobwebs or dust to read the label. I don't want to remember why I am angry. I only know that I am. I know... Sign in to see full entry.

At Least It's Not Cancer
My surgery went well. They were able to remove the mass. Unfortunately, the mass was connected to some muscle, so much to my chagrin, some muscle had to be cut and removed. Perhaps that means I'll never be able to flex a six pack. I could live with four; I suppose. My surgeon was so kind not to... Sign in to see full entry.
