No Monsters Allowed

funny how some sayings stick with you.



When I was a little girl, I firmly believed there were monsters in my closet. Naturally, this made it very difficult when it came down to sleeping at night.


My dad ingeniously wrote a sign that read "No Monsters Allowed" and taped it to my door, assuring me it would no longer be a problem, being that monsters were no longer allowed in my room.


Call me stupid, naive, or just plain young... but it worked.


Lately... the sign hasn't been working. Perhaps my monsters that hide in my closet in my adult life can't read... or perhaps they're too busy keeping me up at night to stop and read a damn sign. Either way... they're here, and they ain't leaving til I do something about it.


So one by one... I shall fight. and slowly but surely--- I will get through them all.


First one on my list right now is finishing up the thank you notes from Rhena's birthday. Of course, I had to make them myself... to match the invites, naturally..... but alas... the words still need to be penned, and envelopes sent.


So my dear readers... I bid you peace. I thank you again for the kind words of support during my little hiatus. I'll probably need more support in my journey ahead... but I'm ok with that. Nobody said fighting monsters would be easy.

Like the new Layout... Very cute.
We all have monsters to battle in some way, shape, or form. Mine right now is hubby being in Iraq and taking everything on by myself. It helps to take things one day at a time... little by little. I know it isn't the most original advise but it's been around for a reason.... it works. Just remember that we are all here to help you out, listen... whatever you need. Take care of yourself and know that you are being thought of.

Thanks for getting rid of the bubbles. Your last "LOOK" took two minutes to load.

Talk about monsters?

You know I hate to waste time.

But anyway, thirty years later, if you need a new sign, you know I'll make one for you!

UGH, I hate thank you notes. I always leave them until it'd just be weird to send them.

Monsters always chase us even as adults. You're a tough chick though full of a lot of love. I have no doubt in my mind you're going to come out of this on top.
