Hey, I'm back. During and after my pregnancy, I was exhausted! Too tired to do anything, till now. That was not fun! Well, I'm starting to feel better. And my little cutie pie was born 5 weeks early, on April 7th, 2005, but, healthy, Thank GOD! She's almost a year old!!! How time flies.

There's a Baby on the way! Yep, I'm 4 weeks pregnant. My due date is May 11th, 2005. I'll be having another c-section.

This is my 10th pregnancy and I have had 7 c-sections so far.
 6 live births, a stillborn-He was strangled by the cord at 7 months, another  stillborn-His cord twisted up 2 weeks before His due Date,   & 1 miscarriage at 16 weeks, because the baby died at 6 weeks.

Yes, I'm crazy. But, I Love my kids!!! My two oldest boys said: "Another Baby!" And I said: "Yep!"

Hopefully all will go well with this pregnancy. I will post about my pregnancy as I learn more. I will also post ultrasound pictures, too! I'll probably have a lot of ultrasounds done, due to the fact that I am a high risk pregnancy.

So check back often to see any new stuff.

Thanks, Sher

Hi,

I hope everyone is well. Today is a frustrating day. I can't figure out what people want/need. I would like to sell products that people actullay want. I thought Hand Crafted Leather Accesories was it, because, you don't see them in stores. But, it seems that I was wrong. People are into Fads. Whatever is the "IN THING" at the time, is what they want. They don't care about what they like, just about who has got what, and where can I get one!

Well, I can't keep up with fads, so, what do I sell? I'm getting frustrated! I feel like I'm up a Creek without a paddle! Well, any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sher

What To Do...
A day in the life
as a Mother and a Wife
So much to do
I haven't the energy to
And what comes after
Me as a Leather Crafter
Trying to make a sale
With no customers I fail
What to do, what to do
I sit here and write to you
Are you listening to me
I'll just have to wait and see

Ya know....The Leather Crafting business really sucks! Ok, the actual Leather Crafting part doesn't suck, but, the way people are, makes it suck.

People want name brand. They aren't ready to try something new. If it doesn't say Gucci, or something big like that, they don't give it a second look. I really believe the products I make are at least equal to the name brand products. I also have something more to offer than they do...Hand crafted and customized here in the good old USA! Yeah, that's right! Not some foreign country that uses children to make the products and hardly pay them anything, and then they sell them here for big bucks. Well folks, that don't sound very "Patriotic" to me. And it's just plain old WRONG!

So what I am trying to say is...Give things a try! What are ya going to lose? A few bucks? And if ya like it....Ya didn't waste a few bucks, ya saved hundreds-(From the big same products)! So, try it...Ya might like it!

Thanks for reading, Sher

Kids are absolutely GOD's gift to us.

Without them...Life, as we know it, would no longer continue. We would not be able to watch them blossom into Beautiful Flowers. And yet, my Doctor wonders why I have so many. Why I have so many?! Why do you have so few?! And it's not just my Doctor, It's everyone!!! When I say I have 5 kids, their eyes open wide as if I had just told them something shocking. Well, if you think 5 is shocking, I've got something better. I WANT MORE! That should knock 'em out. Yeah, baby!!!

So, if you think the 2.5 kids thing, is your cup of tea, that's fine. But, don't go knockin' someone else's dreams, just cause they don't fit your life. Cause, I LOVE MY FAMILY! And the more, the merrier! (Just like that great movie: "Cheaper By The Dozen").

Chow for now.

I'm hosting my websites from my computer now. It's free!!! I finally figured it all out. Well, not all of it. I still am having problems with a shopping cart. But, all the PayPal buttons still work, so, customers can still purchase through PayPal.

Let me know if you have any problems with any of my websites. All my web addresses go to http://www.myshers.com. So, if ya have any problems, please let me know so I can try to fix them.

Thanks for your help, Sher

Well... I don't know what is going on. I feel like there is a curse on me. My business is a flop. My financial situation is a bigger flop. And my diet attempts are the biggest flop!!! I can't seem to get my life on track. I just keep wishing for a miracle, a big win, or something to happen so I can get my life on track. But,... No such deal! I feel doomed, tired, hopeless, & fed up. But, still, I go on. Why? For my Beautiful Family.

They are so wonderful. I Love my Family very much.

As far as my business goes... I think I may have to close up shop. Oh well... That's Life.

Aside from all that.... I guess I am lucky. I have a beautiful family, a beautiful home, food, and a lot more. So if I can just get out of this rut once and for all, I'll be fine.

I'm still Hand crafting. I like doing it, and even though I'm not getting much business for it, I still want to keep doing it. So, That is what I'm going to do. I have gotten a few orders and a few requests for catalogs lately, so, it's not all bad.
