Over It

My poor son sat on my sofa yesterday and declared he was "over it".  Covid (which BTW he had in January before it was a thing along with many, many other college kids), its impact on his on his college career, a school-owned apartment that is flooding but there are so few maintenance men working that it's been three times without being fixed, nor is anybody in housing to get him into a new apartment, and a car breakdown that has potential to be very expensive. "Adulting" is not going well for him.  He moved out of the apartment into a friend's house near our home (his school is 90 miles north). He emailed the school strongly recommending that they have someone check on the apartment daily until its fixed.  It will be interesting.

Anyway...I recently saw a post by Gayatri using unique and wonderful rainbow colors and this same die set and it got me thinking that I could pull out some masculine colors and do a very different sort of rainbow.

Over It

I had to use "over it" for the sentiment.  These letters are from Sizzix and they had just the right look.  I added some rain by TE in the background.

Edited: the car cost $630, the school is claiming they have their top people fixing the flooding but they aren't moving him, but the impact of a pandemic on his final year of school has yet to be seen.

  1. I love your personalized card. Sorry your son has had so many troubles this year. 2020 has not been kind. We live in an area where we never see tornadoes, but on Saturday, we had several touch down in my hometown. As far as I know, no one was hurt. Your card is so appropriate for 2020. Wishing better days ahead for you and your family.

  6. Loving your masculine take on a rainbow card, Kim, and the sentiment is so perfect.
    Sorry to hear about all your son is going through. So incredibly frustrating and yes, I'd be "over it" too. Being in limbo about things, especially school and housing, is awful. I hope things look up for him sooner rather than later!
