Today I am amazing

Today I woke up on time and with a bit of a struggle got out of bed and headed to my shower. Today I enjoyed the hot steamy water and wished I had more time to soak. Today I had breakfast with my little ones and chatted about music. Today I made it out the door with my navy blue slacks without any dog hair clinging to it. Today I drove to work without getting into an accident. Today I turned on my computer and it booted up for me perfectly. Today I cleaned off my desk and uncluttered a bit of my thought process. Today I read my favorite blogs and checked a message board where several ladies complemented me on a layout I posted. Today I feel good. Today I am good. Today I am amazing!

I scrapped again!

Feels so good to scrap. I think the reason I have been able to do it so much is because I have been making myself clean off my desk after I make each mess. I feel more apt to come in and scrap here and there! This is for my 8.5 x 11 people I love book. Its kinda nice to break away from doing 12x12! Sassafrass paper and some odds and ends I had laying around!

I made dough

Too bad I can't deposit it in the bank. Cuz it went to school with Chris....

I am talking about play dough. I have NEVER made it before and was scared to death. See I am NOT Susie homemaker. I am Mary Microwaveable. I can bake a few things over and over that turn out great but new things i just really suck at. Chris's teacher sent home a note requesting play dough be sent for a project and recipe. I actually did NOT mess it up. with a little advice from Darla I got it done! sooo proud of myself.

My friend Heather has a blog now!!! So excited! She has just started it but check it out and leave her a comment!

Time passes so fast

Monday again. So sad the weekend is over! Had a fantastic weekend! Saturday was rainy and COLD. Had a soccer game in the rain brrrr....but won 3 to zero! Nope no pics, too rainy. Then we ran over to Roberts for the Autumn sale. Stocked up on adhesive, primas, and got a new 6x6 mini album for 50% off. Not to shabby.

Then went home did some laundry and cleaning, finished proofing the wedding, then SCRAPPED! YEAH. I got so much done.!

3 12x12 layouts

4 8.5 x 11 double layouts for my cousins Rome book

4 6x6 double layouts

2 cards

1 altered something for a gift (can't tell she reads this blog)

and 1 tag!

Thats a LOT for me...

Here are the three layouts I did!

Not too much to say

Yeah I am boring, no life, no blog entry. Haven't had too much to say so I will just list some things that are going on.

Taylor's first fall soccer game tomorrow

need to mow my lawn and pull some weeds

Need to finish Kendra's Rome scrapbook, about a third of the way done

Need to finish my brother's wedding album. Pretty much done.

Need to clean my scrap room (again)

Time to clean out the boys drawers and get rid of clothes that don't fit

the dog needs a bath

Its Friday.

Finished Kip's book last night and need to get it in the mail.

First Art home

Taylor brought this home so proud of himself! Loves his new teacher and couldn't wait to go today! AHHH thats good. Chris really likes his teacher and that is a VERY good sign. He like his teacher last year, but had some frustration with her so hopefully this year will run smoother. Taylor's favorite part of the day was LUNCH! LOVES lunch, he talked about his lunch till he went to bed last night. Which was early because he threw a big ol' tantrum about not eating his red potatoes. It must suck to be 6 and expected to eat the food you are served instead of just what you want!

Having a better morning by far. So far no one has called to yell at me but the day has just begun. Its amazing how many people yell at you for things you have NO control over. I want to fix it WISH I could fix it but it ain't my fault you have 3 accidents and we have raised your rates. Thats the way insurance works. O'well the agent is always the bad guy. I can't feel guilty for the insureds own choices. I WONT feel guilty.

So how has YOUR day been?

Me

Call 911 My son has poisoned me!

OK so now that school started back up the boys come to the office after school. Do their homework etc. Well, its been an extremely rough day for me. A bit of tears. Anger and frustration way before they even got here. OK, so Taylor sees my empty water bottle and goes to the first aid kit and gets the rubbing alcohol. He put just a tad in the bottom of my bottle and I guess he was going to do an experiment. Never saw him do this. I grabbed my water to finish it up and WAMMO! What the HECK! OMG. I had to run to the bathroom and spit it out!!! He come around the corner with a pepper shaker ready to ADD more to his "experiment" yeah.....Been a GREAT day!

Oh and Darla, thanks for the experiment FUN!!! AHEM>>>>>>>>>LOL>...
