a mermaid for a doll challenge at A Secret Garden…

I’m hung up on the hair though… I had one version of her hair done, but was totally unsatisfied with the results, so I started over.

Of course now the challenge is done, but I am determined to finish her come heck or high water…

I’m afeard though that if I show you what I do have accomplished I will not finish her… so be patient, but she will be completed within the next few days, I have finally come upon creating an outline that I am satisfied with, now I’m just cleaning up the lines and starting on the shading… this is quite the challenge, but like I said I am determined to finish her regardless of whether the challenge is done or not!

I really like the base I chose, as well as, the tail I created for her…. so a little more incentive to complete her

He has turned into his father… he shows incredible fits of anger and in front of Dallas too… two weeks ago he held his fist up to me because I told him I was over his attitude… he had been very grumpy and snippy that day and I was the one driving him around so that he could have a weekend alone with his girlfriend… so I took him to every place he wanted to go and made myself late for the sitter and work… and he just kept getting grumpier, in my opinion it should have been me who was grumpy but I wasn’t, I was just looking forward to him leaving, so I stayed optimistic, he was yelling at his gf on the phone calling her dumb and an idiot, I told him that wasn’t acceptable behaviour and he was lucky to have a gf because I would have told him to hit the road the first time he called me dumb. ANyway, by the time I told him I had had enough, he raised his fist to me and I looked him striaght in the eye and told him to go ahead, make my day and see what happens!! I told him to get out of my truck and proceeded to call the cops on him… I haven’t seen him since that day!!

This is one of the reasons you don’t see me hanging around my forums, life is always interesting in my world, seldom boring, and always very eventful. Yeesh and this too shall come to an end.

My little sister witnessed his temper and even said he has definatly got his dad’s genes in him… my mom has been giving it to me like it is, and telling me he is snowing me in a lot of areas and that it is time for me to cut the strings, yes he is my son, but I nor Dallas need nor deserve his manipulations.

Don’t feel sory for me, just send me strength and wisdom as to how to deal with all of this.

Well Dallas and I got home from our holidays very early Monday morning, 2a.m.to be exact. We went camping at Lake Defienbaker. It was great!! We went sight seeing one day and went to OUtlook to see the longest walking bridge in Canada. It’s massive, and the locals were incredibally friendly. We spent several days at the beach, we looked for unusual stones and came across two fossilized stones and several unusual and pretty stones, we also caught crawdaddies and just watched them swim around then let them go, one was pregnant and before we let her go, we actually saw some hatch so to speak. All-in-all we had an awesome time… the only reason we came home when we did is because it was going to thunder shower and I knew that would have kept Dallas up all night. We were both glad to be home for Canada Day and we spent the afternoon in the park soaking up the Canada activities and of course watching the fireworks.

Current Mood: Proud & Happy
