A couple of cards

I'm pretty proud of these....



Long weekend

Finally, a three day weekend is almost upon us! Today, I am working a short day - off to take DD to the ENT for her 6 month check up. Hopefully she'll do ok....
Tomorrow is work and probably grocery shopping - ugh!!!!!
Saturday is working at the store (3 more times left there....) and then probably a quiet evening.
No plans for Sunday, yet.
Monday, DS has a parade and then possibly to my parents for a cook out.
SO, nothing real exciting but hoping to get some scrapping done.
Have a GREAT weekend!

Some pictures

Some of what we've been up to....
DS turns 13!!!!


DD feeding the ducks.

Crayons, Markers & Carpet, oh my!

Yes, that's right! NOT a good combination!
My DD took a crayon to our living room carpet 10 days ago and I'm still trying to get it all up.
Then, I pick her up from daycare on Friday and guess what - she had taken a permanent marker to the carpet there!
ARGH!!!!!!!
I almost strung her up after that......

What has life had in store for me?

A lot of challenges! A test of my patience, nerves and love.

As "grandma" said in the movie - Parenthood - "life is like a roller coaster, you go up and down, up and down, some people liked it, some people didn't".

I was single and pregnant at 19 (I have a FABULOUS son now!) Thank goodness my parents were amazing, too!



My DH had an accident last year that put both our lives into turmoil for a while but I believe we came out stronger together than we ever were.

I think life is FULL of objects in our paths but it all depends on how you handle them.

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's my Life....

After a long hiatus, I'm back! I hope you've all had a good summer, though I'm not sure where it went!

Here's a brief update:
We spent 4th of July weekend with some friends, complete with fireworks display by DH....

Most of the rest of July was work.

DS turned thirteen at the beginning of August - scary! He had a sleepover with his friends.

I got a new part time job - I am ecstatic! I HATE Hallmark - our manager is psycho!!!!! I will be working at our public library. Ahhh - surrounded by books! :)

DS started 8th grade on Monday. I can't believe he's almost in HS! Where does the time go?

DD is COMPLETELY into the terrbile 2s! I swear, I'd like to leave her in her room until she's about 6. No interest in the potty, whatsoever....argh!

Other than that, we work and hang out. I have gotten some scrapping and reading done this summer. However, with Christmas coming (I know it will be here before I'm ready!), I have to start getting some sewing done....

I will try to be more current and bore you with my "oh so exciting" life.
