Hello all!
Yes i am still here. Barely but yes i am here.
Time for some self indulgence tonight. Time to write. I don’t recall what i last wrote about......hey......is that new......probably not.
Just finished reading Cy’s last entry. Maybe that was the catalyst that started me thinking i could write tonight or the final kick in the rear i needed. =)
really I’ve been thinking of writing for a few days now. It just seems I’m so dead tired at the end of the day that i don’t want to write. But a friend of mine told me it might do me some good. That maybe I need to write just to take the time for myself and writing will also help me as it keeps things in perspective and of course then i am writing down all the good ideas i get and such. ya ya.......i already knew that except i didn’t look at the taking time for myself part of it. It seems I never have time to take for myself much lately. There’s the kids, Pierre, the ceramic shop and my friends. I don’t have much time for spending at my friends. Usually if I do, I go to Marva’s. I guess you could say she is my new bestest friend.

The shop is doing well enough. Not where i would like it to be yet but it’s getting there. I have a contract that will run the shop for a month and then some and it is only a 21 hour deal. Plus i’m not in the shop on the days that I’m working the contract it’s on a day when the shop is usually closed thus i’m still able to work the regular hours without getting someone in to run the shop while i work on the contract which is totally cool. However, today i had the thought of getting more contracts then I could hire someone to do the contracts and pay them the hourly wage and I would still make money. Gotta like that.

Let’s see......I got lots of idea’s for the shop and have started putting some of it into motion. I wish I could duplicate myself a few times so I could do all the things I want to do. Like that show, Multiplicity, ya know?

Anywho, life in general is good. Things are good with Pierre and I. The boys have been fighting a bunch. I had a foot putting on the ground even tonight. Meaning I let them know how tired I am of them fighting and that they will be doing some time on the stairs (time out) if they are fighting and I don’t care who did what or who started what! Also had a chat with all of them individually when they went to bed about getting along better and how much of a help that would be to me. I talked to Josh about being a big brother to Brandon and tolerating him a bit more and how Brandon looks up to him. Josh thought about it and said he would rather see Brandon acting like him than gay. Josh sees Brandon that way just because Brandon likes to hug his brother and it really annoys Josh that Brandon does that to him all the time. I admit Brandon is rather clingy some days. I simply told Josh it’s only the way he sees it as annoying and Brandon is only trying to show him affection and if Josh tried to spend more time with him he wouldn’t be so bad. Of course I had to have a chat with Brandon about trying to find some time to play by himself and not always bugging his brothers. I hope that improves things around here for a while with those three. i have a dog in heat. I wanted to breed her but doubt I will. I want to breed Coreen-ah if I can catch her in heat. I just need to pay attention more to her in order to catch her. Puppies are so cute. I like breeding the dogs and selling the puppies when they are old enough. I love seeing people when they first see the puppies. It’s one of those warm fuzzy feelings (no pun intended but hey it’s kinda funny).

Had my cards read. Ya, I can imagine the reactions on that one. I was curious. I thought it went pretty good. There were things she said that there was no way she knew. And for her predictions of my future.......let’s just say.......we shall see.......he he......that pun is intended.......= )

Well.....that’s it that’s all folks.

Good night.
Lot’s o’ love

Christine
