Can I vent?? and a 20% off discount

 

Sometimes living takes the life  out of you!! I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but sometimes life can just get you down. I have tried to keep things in for the last week or so. I debated whether to share or not, but I know there are some good friends out here in blogland and I would just request your prayers. First for my attitude. I should just leave it at the foot of the cross, but sometimes we just keep picking it up again. Can I get an AMEN??!! Work, home life, business……..Can’t anything just be easy??? I am usually the one giving advise, do the right thing, take the high road, let things slide! That’s why things are bothering me. It just seems so hard now. It is coming from every direction.

First we have been planning a family reunion for the past year. There is a page on facebook for all of the extended family to comment, pick dates etc. Well, family will be family and there have been issues, not everyone agrees etc. You know how family can be sometimes. But I get that, oh well. But now it is my husbands work. He has had this vacation on the books, calendar whatever for the past year. Now he is getting a hard time about it. He may not be able to go. His boss says he may charge him with insubordination for making plans behind his back before it was authorized!! Really???!! To start with, we haven’t had a vacation to go anywhere, and haven’t seen our family in four years. I know I have mentioned that in an earlier post. And anyone that has been to New England knows you have to plan a year in advance to get a place to stay. Oh so many things to work out and not much time. (Why can’t I just have a big bank account and then nothing would matter…)UGH!!

Then the issue with selling wholesale, kicked out of a group because I wouldn’t sell one item for a reduced price. To me wholesale is more than one item. Oh well, I think they were just getting my ideas, it happens everywhere. One item in particular we have been making for over 20 years, and I  am beginning to see them pop up everywhere. Well, I just take it as a compliment. Also comments about making sure all of my items were handmade!!! Really??!!! What's with that??!! I make all of my own patterns(sometimes there is no pattern lol, one of a kinds) and we do all of the work ourselves ( on REAL WOOD! We don’t use plywood or any other wood for anything, a little more pricy but better quality). Maybe because things are so well made, they don’t think anyone could possibly do that. Ya, that’s what I am going to keep telling myself . lol

Oh well time to move on!!!  I am trying to keep busy and be creative. We are doing a home show this week. That means I have to clean house. EVERYWHERE! lol. Slow but sure it feels so good to have things clean!

I even baked a little this week. One thing I made was this cranberry orange bread. So good! It reminded me of the holidays, because that is usually the only time I can find fresh cranberries.

Well enough for one day, we are watching my sons girlfriends dogs for the evening.

but Rider is a little more calm, should be interesting since we haven’t had a dog in a while.
