Need a TV Series Suggestion?

I am currently watching Bones and love it.

Here is the list of TV series/movies I have watched this year.

A New Bed!

After sleeping on my niece’s bed it was obvious our bed just wouldn’t work anymore.  We were going to buy a high dollar bed, but to many things have come up.  So I did a mini splurge and replaced the bed on Walmart.com for $500.  Hopefully it will be good enough quality to get us through the year.

Batman Beanie

Update:  My father went to the VA hospital and they said they think he has a punctured ear drum and scratched his eye.  They are going to schedule a hearing test and a visit with the specialist.

Moving:

Nothing better motivates you to pack then going into a kitchen to find that grown people don’t know how to clean up after themselves.  I figure there is five people who live in this house and only 1 has an excuse not to clean up (the 3 year old).  Although I still have 4 months till I plan to move I have started packing up the kitchen!  I am going to leave 5 of everything and pack the rest.  Then at least people will be forced to clean a dish to eat or do without!  One Rubbermaid of baking dishes packed (that means no more baked goods made till we move.

TV Series:

2-16-2017 BATES MOTEL SEASONS 1-4

2-13-2017 HAVEN SEASONS 1-5 SERIES ENDED

2-8-2017 CRIMINAL MINDS SEASONS 1-11

1-16-2017 ONCE UPON A TIME SEASONS 1-5

Genealogy Update:

The other day I was talking to my aunt about the family tree and one of the things she worried about was having incorrect dates.  The whole family tree project was getting so huge with ancestry that the integrity check was getting out of hand.  So I am going to start from scratch and make sure every thing that gets put in the new family tree is 100% correct.

TV Series:

In the middle of watching Bates Motel.  Looking for suggestions for future shows to watch.  These are the ones I have currently finished.

2-13-2017 Haven Season 1-5 Series Ended

2-8-2017 Criminal Minds Seasons 1-11

1-16-2017 Once Upon A Time Seasons 1-5

Crocheting:

Finished the camo hat yesterday, I thought it came out really cute and I can’t wait to finish the blanket that goes with it.  You can check it out here.

Teenage Daughter:

I always knew parenting was hard, but it feels like it gets worse by the moment.  My daughter had an ultra sound appointment today.  I wanted to be there with her and see my grand baby and hope everything was ok.  She waited till this morning to send me a nasty gram to let me know she wanted me to take her and pay for the appointment but I couldn’t be in the room or know the results of the appointment.  Of course it made me angry and I told her if I took her and paid, I would be a part of it.  So she told me that she didn’t want me involved in her or the baby’s life.  Because I was angry when she first told me that she was pregnant (she is still in high school with pelvic bone fractures) that I didn’t care about her or the baby.  I don’t understand what makes her think that meant I didn’t care.  If I didn’t care I wouldn’t have been angry to begin with.  I am so angry that she is cutting me out of her life for something so trivial.  What else can I do, can’t force her to love me.  All I want to do is leave this town and all the pain it has caused behind me.

Family Fun Day:

I wanted to have a family fun day.  A day where we could all get together and have fun.  It back fired on me like crazy.  My father was more worried about setting up a date during lunch and then leaving us to go meet this woman.  My daughter couldn’t wait to get back to see her boyfriend.  My son was happy so that was a positive part!

TV Series:

Currently Watching: Haven -Season 1-5.   I am on Season 3 Episode 2.

Cute Saying of the day:

My son was standing on the bed shaking his butt and saying “Shake your birthday cake”.  It made me giggle.  I love this kid to death.

Family Drama:

My husband went to the store to get us some late night snacks.  Got harassed over the drama from yesterday.  I am very proud of him for not responding to her and minding his own business.  He did respond to the drama on face book though.  They are claiming we were getting violent because he called the cops.  He called the cops because he wanted to avoid violence.  Isn’t that what the cops are here for, to hold the peace?

Craft Updates:

Circular Vest: I am on row 26 of 32.  I should be able to get it in the mail tomorrow!

Graduation Afghan: Blocks needed: Dominique, music notes, student counsel, mascot)  Hopefully these will be enough to finish it.

Monkey Blanket: Need 529 blocks, 4 complete.  I keep changing how I want to make it.  Think I am going to stick to this one.

Adult Braided Pony Tail hat: Need to locate a pattern or create one.

 

How was your day?

 Circular Vest:

I am on row 17 of 32.  The drama of the day kept me from being farther along on it, but hoping I can finish it tomorrow.  I really want to get it in the mail this week.  I am looking forward to packaging it up and writing the note that goes with it.

Family Drama:

Tonight my husband and my dad went to get my daughter’s truck.  The guy living on his brother’s property said he would not move his car so they could get to the truck. (Truck was in the pastor across the street, that my husband is supposed to be inheriting.)  He threatened to shoot my dad with my son in the truck so they came home and my husband called the cops.  So the cop went and told him he could either move them or have them towed his choice.  We got the truck back to our house and they had started taking it apart.  How are you going to tear someone else’s vehicle up??

We thought it was all said and done, but then the guy called the police and claimed my husband called him threating him and that he wanted to press charges.  So the police called my husband and he said nope never called him today, you can come check my phone.  How immature can someone be to file a false police report!

TV Series:

Finished Seasons 1-11 of Criminal Minds today.  Now onto Haven which has 5 seasons.  It wont take long before we finish this one! (Clearly we stay home a lot!)

WIP: Finished another block of my daughters graduation afghan.  It is the drill team boots and hat.  She did it for a year in high school.  I couldn’t find a pattern and with the curves didn’t fill like trying to do the graph thing, so I decided to embroidery it.  I thought it came out ok.  I realized I still have a ton of work to do, going to have to start working a bit faster on it!

Family  Tree: Worked more on my family tree today.  I have over 9,000 hints to work through.  The more I find the more there is, but that is a good thing!

TV Series: On Season 3 Episode 19 of Criminal minds.

House Work: Put some dishes away and then quickly got tired of doing house work! Ugg there is always tomorrow!

afghan, craft, criminal minds, Crochet, doctor appointments, family tree, health, stomach bug, sugar skulls, tv series

Health: I think I caught a stomach bug from my son.  His went away within 48 hours so I am hoping mine will be gone by Monday.   Thursday I go in for a doctor’s appointment and for my daughter’s first baby doctor visit.  Hopefully I will get out of my boot and her appointment will go great!

Craft: I have about 10 more rows and the outline to finish my daughters next block to her afghan.  Hopefully I will get the pictures of it taken and the pattern up tonight.  If not it will definitely be posted tomorrow.  My husband’s niece found out recently she is pregnant too, so her theme for the baby if it is a girl will be sugar skulls.  So I will be getting yarn and will start on making things for her theme.  I figure if she ends up having a boy I will just sell the items I make for her.

Family Tree:  Posted a status here and I realized how much I still need to do for the 1st chapter of each of the 1st books.  I’ll work more on it tomorrow but happy with the results from today.

TV Series: I am on Season 3 of 11 of Criminal Minds.  Since I slept till 9am this morning, I am sure I will get several episodes watched tonight!

Hope you had a great Saturday!
