Today and tomorrow and the next day...

Tomorrow my friend Holly and I are going to the Scrapbook Expo in Del Mar. I am very excited. We are going to take a class or two and go to all the booths and do all the make and takes. I can't wait to come back and post everything I do!

I had the busiest Thursday today. I took hubby's grandma (Grams) to the doctor. She could barely walk because of her back. Please pray for her. Then I picked the girls up from some friends' house (they had picked them up from school for me) and then they went straight to girl scouts while I went to the bank and the lss to beg Debbie to alcohol ink a piece of metal ribbon holder that I stole from her. Then picked the girls up from gs..came home, threw them in the shower. Checked my email...helped the girls pack, fed them dinner, then headed to the school for Children's Night. It was so cute. They sang songs and showed me a mural they did on the wall in the kitchen, went to the book fair and bought 2 $5 books! (Post pics later!) Then we came home, hugged daddy good-bye, they changed AGAIN! and then the girls went over to my dad's house to spend the night because we are leaving around 8 a.m. and I didn't want to make my dad and stepmom get up early to babysit. I know they are over there getting spoiled to death! Hubby is going to pick them up after work tomorrow. They will probably fall asleep in the car on the way home from sugar crashes and exhaustion from staying up too late. Grandparents are wonderful :)

We are going to Grams' house on Saturday for dinner so hubby can put up a screen door. I got her a cell phone and she is too funny. I had to try to teach her how to use it today. She is 83 years old. That's all I'm saying.

Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day and I really really want to sit at home and scrap online with all the challenges and contests that will be going on virtually! I guess I can try to catch up on Sunday...and I'll have all morning on Saturday...besides...I will probably be so sick of scrapbooking after Friday's expo...right..right?

Yeah, right! And yes...if you were wondering...I am obsessed lately. Here's a page to share that I finally finished. Have a good weekend.

P.s. On the way to grandma and grandpa's Harley asked me what 5 x 4 is...I told her and she said, "At least I got one right." On Monday I am having a phone conference with the teacher. I can't wait to find out that they passed those tests with flying colors!

almost bedtime

Just wanted to put up the soccer pics before I head off to bed. This is just the team photo with the coach. We had so much fun this season.


One of my best friends' mom had a heart attack today and was in the hospital. Please pray for her and for their family. They are really on my heart tonight. Thanks. Nighty night!

Another day...

I am feeling kinda somber today. I dropped the girls off at school and I cried. Now...I know it's probably PMS but Harley is stressing about her state testing! They are 8 years old and she is worried about passing a test. I told her to not worry about it...she said and I quote, "Mom, I can't help it. I am stressed out!" I didn't even know she knew what that meant! So, anyway, speaking of stressed...

I have so many handmade items to make it's ridiculous! Why do I sign up for these swaps? And I have to get the page done for the DT team. I have the pics picked out and I have the papers and embellies they gave us...it's just getting them onto a page and designed. All I want to do is crawl back into bed....

It's already been one of those days and it's only 9:30...

Cable Probs...

Our cable box won't let me watch my recorded shows. The cable guy is coming out today to fix it because they couldn't do it over the phone. They better not charge me and they better fix it...(I'm so demanding.) Anyway, yesterday the girls had their last soccer game and won against a team that was undefeated! I really like cheering them on. I can't wait until the next sport starts! Happy Monday!

Crops crops crops!

I had so much fun at the Friday night crop at the lss. We got our new stuff to make a page with for the design team and it has to be mother's day-ish. Something to do with being a mom, having a mom, etc. Bright bright colors which I do NOT deal with well...but we'll see how it turns out.

I got 8 pages done at the two crops I went to this weekend. Hopefully tomorrow I can sleep, go to the girls' last soccer game and then sleep go grocery shopping...maybe make dinner...then hopefully go to bed! I am exhausted but drank too much coffee. Here's a few pages I uploaded from this weekend..

Thanks for looking!!!!! Oh and by the way, my sister didn't come to the crop today with me...I called her this morning before I left to pick her up...she still hasn't called me back...

Hope she's okay...
Have a good week!

what happened?

Where did all the time go??? Maybe starting next Monday???

All I've been doing is working...not even scrapping really. Oh yeah and homeschooling. The girls have state testing next week so we've been doing tons and tons of packets with little bubbles for practicing. The girls aren't happy about it...but they got 100% so far on all the packets. So I am very happy!

Anyway, last weekend we got to go camping at Dos Picos park which was awesome because it's right here in town! The girls stayed with their brownie troop on Friday night and Shawn didn't want to go because he got home late, so I went to a Stamp Camp with my friend Holly at a Stampin Up Consultant ladies house. It was so fun. I learned how to make 3 new cards and a little 3 drawer dresser out of paper. It's so cute. Anyway, about camping...lol...I stayed Friday night in the tent by myself and froze my butt off! The next day Shawn came and the girls came over to our tent because the rest of the gs went home (they only stayed one night) and we had so much fun! I love camping.

So today I have a dr. appt...just a regular yearly woman one...but gotta go ya know?

Then today the girls have a girl scout jr. bridging meeting telling them all about bridging to juniors. I personally don't think they are old enough yet. I think they should be in brownies one more year, but they've already earned all the brownie patches. The troop we are in has already been Brownies for 3 years, we joined the group late and missed a year. That first year we were with a group that were Daisys.

ANYWAY, who cares...on to more important matters. (I'm in a hurry here!) Tonight I am going to a crop at the scrapbook store. I don't think I said before but I got accepted onto the design team at our scrapbook store here in Ramona. It's exciting. They give me stuff...I make it into stuff and turn it back in...it's kinda cool :) Then tomorrow I am going to an all day crop in Vista with the Scrapbooking Mom's group. That should be fun too. I invited my sister Tamara. We just recently became friends again. I did a page about it.



And here's a page all about me...LOL.


Okay, enough of an update. Gotta go back to work...I was really on here just to get a sketch from Shanna....LOL!!!!

Shout out to Angela! I got your bday gift in the mail and I left you a message like a week later saying thanks. Hope you got the message! I love you tons and tons...the pizza was delish! HUGS!

hi again

So I've been busy...who hasn't? Today is no different. I want to be scrapping right now...but I'm not...I'm surfing the net. I hadn't been on this site in a while. The only time I go on here is to check out Ang's blog and to get a sketch from Shanna. But no longer! I will blog away and put all my frustrations out here to share with my 2 viewers. Starting Monday....
