I love my corner. I will do almost anything to get sent there. Including acting out like this:
Don't worry I didn't get in too much trouble. He was being ornery and deserved it. Plus it got his attention and got me sent to the corner. My Momma used to say that we act like 2 puppies playing and nipping at each others heels and then licking each others faces and rolling around.
Speaking of Mommas, I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was a bit rough. Those of you who have been around since last summer will understand. My family spoiled me rotten and loved me up good so that helped dry my tears a bit.
Also, I got to spend time in my corner and even got to read the Sunday paper on Sunday. Can you imagine? I can't remember the last time that happened. Then I spent some quality time with this book, what a treat. Also, the Vera Bradley fairy visited me and was very generous. I love that fairy.
Today I didn't like my attitude at all so I had no choice but to send myself to the corner. It took me quite awhile to learn my lesson. I make no promises that my questionable behavior won't continue tomorrow as well. After all, I have a whole stack of books sitting there waiting for me.

I remember about your Mom. That was very sad. You have a lovely corner though!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd find myself acting out quite a bit if I were you! :) It looks comfy and cozy...a perfect place to get sent to.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day!

Your "corner" is just wonderful! I'm glad you got some peace on Mother's Day. I bet this was a hard weekend. I'm dreading my birthday (dad and I shared a birthday) and Father's Day...
ReplyDeleteI love your corner! Glad you were well loved yesterday!
ReplyDeletei would love to get sent to that corner too. isn't that book marvelous. i probably look at it once a week. i never get tired of it and see new things every time.
ReplyDeletei'm glad your family spoiled you. you deserve it. i can't even imagine how hard it was for you. hugs!!!!
Jen!!! That paint color looks amazing. You need to start teasing some before and afters ; )
ReplyDeleteLove your corner! Love the paint! Love everything about it! So glad that your family spoiled you rotten to get you through Mother's Day. Speaking of spoiled ... what exactly did the Vera Bradley fairy bring you? Vera Bradley is the ultimate "happy" gift as far as I'm concerned. Looking forward to all of your posts about your new home. Warmest congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteI love getting sent the corner too! You have inspired me to post about it, so it is on my after I get all this dang grading done list. ~Kelly
ReplyDeleteWhat can I do to get sent to your corner? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your family took good care of you yesterday. Being separated from those we love is never easy, especially on holidays. Take care of yourself.
Time out for mommy sounds pretty good to me.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and fill you with His joy.

Dear Jen,
ReplyDeleteI will never forget hearing about your mother. It was one of the most devastating things I have ever heard. I am so glad you can rest in the arms of your loving family, Jen. You really need some good taking care of on any of these anniversary days. I found that with my mom (certainly not half as traumatic but very sudden) the pain remained but the time in between gradually got longer and longer. Hoping for healing for you, too,
Big, big hugs,
Suz
Happy day! I'm finally here getting some glimpses of your new home. Oh Jen - you make me realize that dreams do come true.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts, but today was unique because I saw you have a cotton tablecloth identical to my own. I inherited mine from a favorite aunt, who passed last year. Do you know anything about where these tablecloths came from? Thanks.
ReplyDeletesuch a cute corner nest!
ReplyDeleteI love your corner. I also love that book!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you on Mother's Day. I was sorry for your loss and hoped you had a good day. Glad you were spoiled.
Wow! I wish someone would send ME to the corner! I think I would like it there! I am sad that your Mother's Day was probably a bittersweet one this year! xxoo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove your corner! Sometimes we just need to retreat, regroup, relax. Thanks for stopping by. Can't wait to see more pictures of the house.
ReplyDeleteYou are a brilliant little devil!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely lovely corner. Maybe I should create my own little corner today.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I love your corner. Wish I had one!
ReplyDeleteSending yourself to your corner seems to be called for every day. That's my prescription.
ReplyDeleteI know this Mother's Day must have been very hard for you, Jen.

I can only imagine how hard this Mother's Day must have been for you.
ReplyDeleteYour corner looks like a wonderful place for a time out. Ooooh, how lovely that sun streaming in looks. i might be naughty on purpose, too.
I'd do all kinds of rebellious things to get sent there. LOL
ReplyDeletehi jen,
ReplyDeletei am loving the peeks at things in your pics (ie: wire basket!).
your post is making me think of a song from rogers & hammerstein's cinderella called "in my own little corner." i wonder if it is google-able?
i had a rough time leading up to mother's day and admit that i skipped reading everyone's posts but then on the actual day, i was busy and had a nice day.
so, what did that VB fairy bring you anyway?

ReplyDeleteIt's a great corner. I have a corner too. I get up before everyone and have my tea in my chair and watch the sun rise. It's wonderful! Hope you have many wonderful moments in your corner from now on.
ReplyDeleteJen, I hope your family was
ReplyDeleteable to help ease your heart-
ache. It honestly does get a
little easier.
Sounds like you had a fun time
in your corner though. I don't
think I would mind being sent
to your corner either. :-)
Can't wait to see more pictures
of your cottage!
Yes, I do indeed remember. It was tragic and you suffered so. I'm glad to see you in happy surroundings, with your very own special corner. May you have many Sundays where you get to read the Sunday paper through and through.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
