Happy Scrapping, Janet in MN

lol Angie --- often i think im going for the loonie bin, then again I must be passed that stage :P the kids arent the problem they tend to have their own interests ---- its a partner that wants every spare second of my time when he is home --- he is such a big sook lol I cant even do uni now when he is home or he packs a sad lol. the kids are all in school so when I drop them off on non uni days its like peaceful until I go and pick them up again lol. the eldest and his gf live under the house so they look after themselves except when they are crawling for something or need to take a shower they are upstairs. His two girls are only here occassionally now to stay overnight. We also have a friend staying that i cook clean and wash for but that will not be much longer once his wife moves down here... then i can tstop playing his mum lol. As I said I havent had much time to scrap of late with uni but I will get there soimeday. Got to do what you have to do :o)

Hey Shaz...If it makes you feel any better, I just graduated with a degree in Elementary Education at the ripe age of 40. I wish I had done it in my youth, but I am teaching now...and love every minute (well, most minutes, LOL). Keep it up! It is well worth it.
