Friday fun...really

Ok the boys are gone! District meetings so its quiet and nice. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Still need to get the rest of the Christmas boxes OUT this weekend. Yah I know!!! Then on to getting the vday cards done for Janell's card swap. Got one set almost finished, just need to pick up some pink thread at wally world tonight to finish them. Sunday is TAX day!! Am I the only one excited about this! Want to get my taxes back fast so I can get my new "professional" camera and really start going for it!

Good things happening it work. Lots of changes and a raise (major) and my own office may be in the works so keep your fingers crossed.

Thinking about my paper yes paper. I went into an ebay auction with three other scrappers for basil paper. AMAZING price per sheet and now I have a TON of beautiful paper all organized waiting for creating!! Maybe I can show you all some of what i come up with this weekend!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

My planner

I am taking an online course at Big Picture scrapbooking and completly Loving it. For those of you NON scrappers this is sooo cool! The first class was to alter a planner. We are using planners in the class. Here is mine!!!

Happiness is a matter of choice.

Called a client this morning and believe it or not this was on his voice mail.

Happiness is a matter of choice

I completely agree. It's my choice to be happy. Depending on other people for my happiness will completely ruin it. I am happy, almost 99% of the time. I use my happiness to create, love, nurture, and BE. I have never really been depressed. Moments here and there maybe for a few days if money is tight, but not more than that. I do have a problem though, a different one. I have problems dealing with fear. Fear of no money, my children getting hurt, loosing my job, crashing my car, loosing family members. I have so much fear that I tend to hold back. Especially where my children are concerned. My children are 8 and 5 and this last summer was the first summer they were aloud to play outside with out me. While their outside the front door and windows HAVE to be open (with me usually at one of them watching their every move), and the dog has to be out with them. He barks at every stranger. They are NOT aloud in the front yard with out and adult and can not even ride their bikes on the sidewalk without me. I am completely a freak about that. I don't live in the greatest neighbor hood but not the worst either. Cars drive past my house going 40 most of the time. 2 kids have been hit on their bikes on that street. We can't get them to slow down. 4 months ago, some drugged up maniac tried to kidnap THREE people not 2 blocks from my house. All victims were able to break free from him and a couple neighbors sat on him till the cops showed up. Not something that makes me feel secure I tell you. Am I completely too far one way? Do I need to let go a little or am I justified? How do I know if I am doing the right thing for my children? Am I just too neurotic??

And another!!!

Got this from the jan/feb simple scrapbooks!

THis one is pretty much from right off the cover!

Saturday to mySELF!!

Yes you heard right a Saturday all to myself!!! Boys are with their father and i am SCRAPPING!! its only 9:30 am and I am done with THREE!!!

Most of these are Kathy Zelieski, or Ali Edwards inspired. Had fun doing them! Fast and easy!

Life is like.....

A> A box of chocolates.

B> a bowl of cherries.

Or

C> a swirling mess of chaos, spinning ridiculously through the universe, extremely too close to the sun.

I think I choose C!!! LOL...

Neglected

Not me the blog. Its been [gasp] a week since I blogged! Just been sooo busy. Spent most of last week hanging with the kids and enjoying every minute of it. Soon as Christmas was over the kids got back to normal. Well normal for my kids anyway. Spent a lovely new years with my extended family playing games and munching. Taylor made a wonderful comment to my step sister in law at the party though. She asked if he had a good Christmas and if Santa came and he said "Yes Santa came and brought me presents, even though i was BAD!" Everyone got a laugh out of that!

I am thoroughly enjoying my first class at BIG PICTURE! Love Cathy Z anyway and its a neat class! I wont post my work here cuz it easy to lift and I don't think its fair to the site, or the people who pay...sorry guys. But if you haven't seen it or signed up go for it!!

Hope 2006 is finding you happy and healthy and raring to go!!! Cheers!!
