Friends

Heatherw I am so very lucky to have friends. Friends who love me friends who care for me and friends who just let me be me. I am making this post about my friend Heather. Someone I have grown close to over the last couple years. She has been going through some tough times with her father, step-daughter, ex's and children. I want her to know that she has made a difference in my life and if there is anything I can do for her all she has to do is ask!! Remember girl "this too shall pass", keep the faith and keep smiling....

one way

One_waywebThis is how my life is going these days. One way...one way thinking, doing and wanting. My mind is totally occupied on this house. When is it happening, how many boxes can I pack? I have vacation soon and its not even sinking in. I want it all done so I can breath. And then obsess about something else....



Yes this pic is being blown up for my kids bathroom in our new house!! lol....







I have done NO scrapping lately. Have no mojo for it really. No desire.



thats it...i have nothing left to say!

lots to say...i think

house is going well. Should have all the paperwork done by Tuesday and ready to start scheduling the change over. I am leaving for vacation on the 7th so I am not quite sure how to work around that but I will!!



Watched the finale of American Idol last night. Or I guess what I should really say is i watched MOST of it. My dvr stopped (they went into overtime...lol) right before they made the announcement. Sheeshh...owell...none of my favs made it so it really wasn't a big deal.



Then started to watch the Lost finale!! So very interesting there. I really love this show. See I am a HUGE movie girl. I LOVE movies..I like TV but if I had to live without it I'd be fine, just make sure I have a dvd player. thats all I ask. I become fully engrossed in movies and forget everything around me. I remember in high school we all studied Hamlet and just finished as Hamlet (with Mel Gibson) came out in theaters and the whole class got to go view it. It was great...just me and mel...i yelled back at the screen at some point and some kid threw his box of pop corn at me. I clap in excitement and hoot and holler at appropriate times. Now mind you at appropriate times in the movie NOT appropriate times in the theater. So this is why I LOVE lost. its like one freaking long movie...



Today is the boys last day of school! I am so happy. I love summer break. So much less stress on bedtimes and wake up times. They are generally happier and we don't have the hour long struggle to get Taylor to do his homework. ahhhh....hear the sigh?



Tomorrow we are headed to see Shrek three. Me and the boys are excited to see it. Saturday we are headed to some graves on behalf of my father. I have never been one to visit graves or decorate them because to me thats not where my loved ones are. But my father does it faithfully for my grand father and for a dear best friend and he couldn't this year so I will fill in for him. I am SUCH a good daughter. To be honest I have never even seen my grandfathers grave. I was really sick during his funeral and couldn't make it way back and never have gone to see it. After that we are headed to a nearby town to see Pirates of the Caribbean with my cousin and aunt. It's totally a tradition we have to go to the movies we love together. Then Sunday its on to housecleaning and hopefully more packing!! Hope you all have a GREAT memorial day weekend!!

So very sad....

I did not lose the house. No I did not break and arm, neither did my children. My dog didn't die and I didn't break a piece of my hand blown glasses. What I am crying about is the series finale of Gilmore Girls. One of my favorite shows and now its done. Its one I REALLY liked. Always looked forward to and liked to watch the reruns. Tonight was the end. The last show...it got me thinking back to the last series finale that I cried at. It was family ties. My favorite show of the time. I remember them coming out and saying goodbye to the audience after the last scene. I cried then. I am crying now. But you know I lived through it and I will live through this....sigh....giggle.



My children are losing teeth left and right...AT THE SAME TIME!! I hope the tooth fairy is stocking up on dollar bills. She will be visiting our house again for the second time this month.



My layout is posted at the Little scrapbox so i think its safe to share it here now! My assignment was to do a themed layout with non traditional paper. My theme was baby boy...I have no more baby boys so I borrowed a friend of mines! I took this picture of her wittle Caleb last July and he is sooo freaking cute!!

Wanna know what's amazing?

Kkk_2  How well my kids get along when I am not in the room. I can here them right now in bed (yes together). Chris is reading to his younger brother and being very patient when Taylor asks questions like "why is his name Brear rabbit? What is tar? I love them so much.



Still no news on the house...good or bad....not worried, not apprehensive. Hoping but not obsessing. That's big for me.



Worked a bit tonight on a layout for The Scrap box. Liking it...



Did you know Bobby Darin had SEVERAL bouts of Rheumatic Fever? Yeah neither did I.



'night.
