A layout from the beautiful KC collection at SIS...

And not too much else. Work. Yippee. Laundry. Bigger Yippee.
The last day of school around here was yesterday...not that my kids are in school...but I remember that feeling you'd have on the last day; the summer was streteched out before you, seemingly endless....

and now, nothing. just more work. and 100+ degree days.

Anyway, guess that sounds a bit glass 1/2 full....I'll chalk it up to work related stress. I AM looking forward to getting a "swimming pool" (ie, a plastic, shallow thing) and getting some sun this summer and taking the kids to the splash park in town.

If you haven't checked out www.scrapinstyletv.com you need to!!! It is one awesome inspiration place!!!

BLOWN AWAY

by the response to http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/

Not that I didn't think it was a fabulous site, but MAN. 1600 people in less than a week is just phenominal. And on a related note, I got my COLLECTION in the mail and it is beautiful!!! And I got my pictures from Scrapbook Pictures back....turned out great, as usual. And awesome shipping. 2 seperate packages shipped priority for $2 total.

So, pretty much busy busy busy at work. VERY stressed with this new project I am working on and all the training that goes with it. But at least my bad headaches have stopped, so I guess I'm ok. Monday is DH's BD, and the ILs are coming in...so I have to clean. My MIL would say I don't, but it wouldn't be right of me to ask her to bathe in that nasty bathroom of my kids'.


I guess that's really it...my life is not that exciting, huh? I do think I am going to go to CHA in July...starting to get VERY excited about that!! Never been to Chicago. Anywhere north of TX in July is welcome.

Have a great weekend everybody!!

ARE YOU READY???

Tonight! Midnight!!

Goes live! This is going to be one rockin site...and some SERIOUSLY talented artists on there!! I am still not real sure how I ended up with them, but boy is it an amazing group!

Stop by, chat, stay a while!!!

Giving it another shot....

Ok, so I thought noone read my blog. Turns out I was wrong...SO, I am going to start up again. BUT, if you're out there....you CAN leave comments every so often so I know I have (albeit a small one) some sort of audience.

So. We got back from San Antonio yesterday. SO fun. The kids were great. I mean, they are 3 years old, and they were going to bed at like 10pm and had no nap, so there were some fussy times, but overall, really good. And AWESOME in the car. We went to Sea World, San Antonio Zoo, shopping in San Marcos, and to see some wildflowers...every day was so fun. Weather was perfect, not really crowded anywhere. Here is a pic of some wildflowers....we may blow up a couple of pics and hang on the wall. The color was STUNNING.

Anyway. the kids and Bri are about home, so I guess I'd better get to it!

i want to be swaddled!

This is a quick LO I did yesterday...and after looking at it, I decided it would be nice to be wrapped up tight and warm like that. I am ALWAYS cold and it looks toasty in there. Too bad they don't make swaddling blankets for big people. But then I probably wouldn't like having my arms pinned down anyway.

Were my kids ever really that little?? You know what no one told me? That at that age (and up to about a year, even a bit over a year) they are so sweet and you just gush and love them so much....then they turn 3 and the horns come out and well, while I still love them (guess I'm required to), they can REALLY get on my nerves. I am a horrible mother, no doubt. Brian says I expect too much from them, and I probably do. But does Sissy REALLY have to ask "why" after everything???

Music to my ears....

I had put the kids in their high chairs and they were eating dinner and I had walked out of the room for something, most likely this darn computer, and as I was walking back in this is what I heard:

Madi: "You like "Little Bear" [a kids cartoon] Bubba?"
Matt: "Yes I DO!! You like "Dora", Sissy?"
Madi: "Yes...I like YOU, Bubba."
Matt: "I like you TOO Sissy."
Madi: "I love you too Bubba."
Matt: "I love you too sissy." "MOMMA! Sissy said she loved me! Isn't that sweet?"

If only they loved each other this much all the time!!

:)

Happy Wednesday!

So Lost is starting up again tonight...looking forward to that. Although, if they don't start answering some questions soon, I may be out on this one....they just keep adding twists with nothing ever explained; gets very frustrating.

And now my kids are home which means I have to go.

Don't worry. I didn't have anything exciting to say anyway.
