What is up with Blogger and my swap with Gina!

Well, I don't mean to confuse everyone, but blogger is really being difficult lately! My pictures turned up sideways~not sure why, it's done this before, I turn them, and they still show up this way. I have also noticed that sometimes it won't allow me to login.
I don't have that much exciting to share, I just HAVE to survive Saturday~that is all. I really don't enjoy being in large groups of people, I cannot help this, I get a lot of anxiety, and I find the older I am getting the harder this is. By larger, I mean, more than 50 people~ I have to deal with this at work~I don't like it, but it's part of it~ I am trying to look at this as this is my job, I have to do this. I always worry myself to the point of insanity because I want things to be right and everyone to be happy. I know~ SILLY me! Trying to break out of a 40 year habit!
I spent yesterday doing laundry, hanging laundry outside, one of my favorite things to do! Had the windows open, by the way, they still need cleaning yet.
I sort of had an epiphany, actually one of my forum pals~ Lori made a suggestion~she has moved into this BEAUTIFUL home! OMG~ it's too die for! Not literally, but you know, it's just wonderful!
Well, she has a lot of "stuff" too, and she said she was feeling overwhelmed and started grouping things together. Now, why didn't I think to ever do this? Here I am, just beating myself up because I can't figure out what to put where! I should just try grouping things together! I am not organized, but I am a perfectionist~ Yes, I watch the show Hoarders~ I am not that bad, but I can still relate to some of the situations here~not the dirty part, but the feelings of anxiety and not feeling like you are quite measuring up.
So~this gal is finding her way.
I also have realized that I need to stop comparing my home to that of others' because sometimes it can make you feel pretty bad inside. I know~and if I didn't go thrifting, which isn't all the time, then I could maybe save that money to do some of these other things, so I am going to try and not to buy much, maybe a few things~ok~ we shall see. Am I making any sense here ladies? LOL!
I am getting excited to get started on my bathrooms~ this is one of the things I plan to tackle on my vacation! YIPPEE~ 6 days off in a row! I cannot wait! I will do the boys' main bathroom first, this will actually become mainly Brandons' bathroom, once I tackle the downstairs bathroom.  This is where it gets difficult for me~ having ADHD, this bathroom doesn't have a vanity, WHICH is being planned by the way. I know realistically, I SHOULD focus on the main bathroom, BUT  I can't help but get sidetracked with this one! LOL! I have some REALLY cool things to utilize in here, and that is what I am thinking about! All I can say is ~ Mr. Kyle better watch it! Mom may take over this one! LOL!  Not really though, I don't like showers, and this bathroom only has a shower. I have to go and get paint for the main bathroom, so that will be sometime next week.
We did have a great time at the cabin. It was lovely weather, and it's so peaceful there. We went 4-wheeling and the boys did a bit of fishing and swimming. I learned a new game~ Skip-Bo. It was fun.
I recently did a swap with Gina over at Catnap Inn! She fell in love with my green wheelbarrow, so we decided to do a swap. I think everyone saw hers already, she is quite happy with it, and so am I! LOL!  It went to someone who will appreciate it! I received this AWESOME sheep! I love him, and sat him with Netty Too~ (OLM) and a Panda bear on my settle bench. I also received this sheep plate, and she sent me some patterns for cross stitch, which I have yet to try. I STILL need to get ink for my printer.
So, thank you to Gina! I sure enjoyed it.
I am getting inspired to start on my doll for the swap that Amy is hosting over at Bumblebee Lane! So much to do! My boys will be heading off to their new programs after Labor Day. I have to get a few supplies for them yet. We have saved enough money to purchase Mr. Kyle his first car. Nothing fancy at all, it's a Pontiac Sunfire, I believe. He hasn't taken his test yet for his license, but I have been having him driving me everyplace! He will take the bus to his program some of the time, our winters here are BRUTAL, so I don't expect him to want to drive all the time. I don't even want to, but it's Minnesota, you have to learn sometime.
My mom will be coming for a visit toward the end of September, I am very happy about that. I miss her, haven't seen her in over a year now.
We are nearing closer to our neighbors move. It is very sad, and both boys realize it will be different, I wish it weren't happening. We are getting a single gal moving in their house, so no family.
I suppose I have rambled on enough. I appreciate everyone who stops by  and comments.
Have a good rest of the week! God bless!
