i don't like the new look of my blog, but i can't quite figure out how to make it look the way i want. oh to understand computers and the complexities of the internet! i used to have a free background from the cutest blog on the block, but somehow my blog doesn't fit with that anymore. and though i appreciate all the options blogger now offers as templates, i am flat out confused.
so here i am with my polka dottie blog. for now, anyway. if you have any tips for me, that would be greatly appreciated. please don't suggest i actually read any directions or anything like that. ick.
enough of the whining. bill just returned from a short trip, so we are all smiles around here (though i may have whined a bit about him getting to go to orlando). this is how we felt about him being gone...
and this is how we feel about him being home...
we missed you, babe.
this was going to be the time bill was gone that i was going do the dishes, make real meals, fold laundry, and get up early to get the kids off to school.
gentle readers, do you think this happened?
not exactly. i had a nasty cold while bill was gone. the good news about this cold is that i was in bed every night at 9:30pm (usually when bill is gone i stay up way too late). the bad news about the cold is that i was able to care for the basic needs of our family, but dishes, meals and laundry became relegated to the category of "luxury items". but the kids were at school on time every day and i didn't even have to yell "RUN! RUN!" after them. that may not be impressive, but it shows improvement. though i often find myself short on time, patience and self-control, one thing i seem to have plenty of is room for improvement! :)
so even though there are many things about me that i may not like, they can be changed. i can be changed.

So sorry you had to go through the days with a cold. I do hope you are feeling better though. Luci is very pretty. Do pass Neriah's regards. She was excited when she saw the photo today. I can help with the blog, send me an email with what you would like. Have a happy week!
So sorry you are sick, especially on your own! I think Luci's bow matches the blog perfectly!!!! I think its great how you focus on the good. Makes me a better mom from just being a better reader! Thank you!
If you e-mail me, I may be able to help with your blog :O).

I was on this blog today (Poppy Dip) and I thought that this little girl was your daughter! haha the little girl in the black and white pants :)
Maybe Im crazy but she for sure reminded me of your lucy :)
Don't change too much - I'm pretty fond of you the way you are.
I like the polka dots but the text is a tiny bit challenging for my aging eyes. :)
Missy, I love you. You make me laugh every time I read your blog. You are the most real person I have ever met and I love that most about you. I have so many things I don't like about myself too. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make myself perfectly organized, up to date on all my house cleaning, and then while I am at it I would make myself alot less sensitive. Oops and one more thing...I would make myself disciplined. Yeah. That just might do it. :) I can tolerate weakness in others just not myself.
Hope you get to feeling better. It might help us all if spring would get here really really soon. :)
