Hello all, I am finally back. I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth! lol Holly smokes you people sure talk alot! LOL
First my computer crashed, DH had trouble with his, I can usually access the web from the one at work but it too has been sick for over a week now. DH finally got all ours at home back up and running.
I've been Mom the chauffer for more than a week. Yesterday I had to drop off and pick up both boys from seperate events 3 times (for those of you who might be counting that's 6 total ) ! Today it's only 2 each. Must work on getting oldest his drivers license! LOL actually, I've been having him drive to these events, that's been a little scary let me tell you! LOL He's really not htat bad unless we turn into nearly empty parking lot then he scars the life out of me! Between after school activities and school day activities I've been about to pull my hair out. (I have a full size van with room for 6 passangere, if the kids have an activity that has less than
10 kids then they aren't allowed a school district bus, so DS #1's ROTC instructors have started calling on me to help out in getting these kids from one event to another during the day. He's on the rifle team and colorguard so they've been doing alot of award ceremonies around the city) Fortunately DH has been doing the after school practice chauffering, unless he's at work. (that's every 3rd day)
I've scanned many of the posts that I had missed. Jacqui, so glad your DH is home and with you, I'll continue to say prayers for your recovery. Congrats on the news of the pregnancy (good thoughts going your way for your continued health) Congras on your sisters upcoming adoption! (though good thoughts and prayers for the baby's family to get back on their feet) Tracy, I'm sorry you are leaving, hope to see you back in the future. Love the Wendy house! Though I might need two of them! LOL Have fun setting it up for your scrap studio! Welcome Arliss, I know you'll find everyone so helpful and oh so talented! Top 5 scrappin' tools: 1. My xyrons, X-box, 500 & 900 2. Cutterped, 12" along with the little ones that cut score and perferate 3. my HP Photoprinter, it was a HUGE investment for me but sooo worth it
- all my inks, I am just now starting to be brave enough to start using them without reguard to what they were orginally intended for! 5. my Sizzix! I have all the tag dies now, I love them! I also use very regularly the sizzlet font that a wonderful dear friend gave me for my birthday last year. Deb, sounds like you had a wonderful shopping trip yesterday!! Gotta love the DH that helps you shop for your toys, errr necessary supplies! LOL
I have managed to squeeze in some scrapping. I had put together some "power cropping" envelopes and when I get a few minutes I pull one out and work on it. My LO's have been very basic and simple but I decided that if I waited until I have the time to do the creative, beautiful ones like the rest of you do I'll never get any done! So I decided to go back to the basics. I ahve also started making single page LO's for each of my boys wehn I do LO's so they will have a LO for thier albums as well. (that way I don't have to do it again later, so much simpler. wonder why I didn't think of that before! ) Thanks to whoever suggested that several months ago!
Well I'm off to Chauffer a child, hopefully I don't fall off the face of the earth for a while!
