Omg- I just typed in July..... Gah! Good thing I caught that. I would have freaked everyone out!
I still cannot believe is it Aug.....*shakes head*
And my month here is so busy and I have to figure out time to get the kids ready for back to school- one month to go for us.

To make matters worse, I am sooooooo unmotivated! For anything... ugh. I guess I better start looking forwards to our mini-vacation in PA.

Off to work today- nice weather so I'll be outside in the gardens for my MIL- that is good at least. Both kids are going to be with me. Scott stayed overnight with them. Caitlyn is coming down with me to work on her quilt. Nana is also teacher her how to embroider. She picked that up in no time and is really doing a great job.

On to personals!

Linda S- sounds like a perfect summer family day! Did you get lots of pictures?

Linda W-- wooot girl! You needed that sleep- so glad you got it!

Sally- 8 kids! ahhhhhh! I can barely handle my 2! LOLOL! Saw on FB that the AC was nothing major! Yay!!! Hope you get some time to breathe this week.

Sandra- dinner sounds yummy! My kids are super picky too- Scott much more than Cait at this point, it used to be the other way around. Sooo frustrating, esp when you take the time to cook a real meal LOL
How Matthew gets better asap!

Dawn, glad you had a nice time at the nature center before you got sick. It sounds like my kind of place! feel better hon!

WB Andrea! Great to hear that the trip was a success! Can't wait to see your lo's!

Guess that is it! Better run and get Cait out of bed :)

xoxoxo
 
Dawn...((Hugs))) I hope your bug is gone!! and you feel better today!!! The nature center sounds awesome!! I would love it!! We love places like that...we visit zoos, aquariums, anything like that a lot!!

Sandra....Dinner does sound yummy!! Unfortunately, our little kiddos tend to be this way...I have one that still is...she is 24....yeah!! It gripes me that I always cook a great meal for everyone...she doesn't eat any of it and gets bagle bites out of the freezer for herself!!! My mom says it could have been cured if I did like she did when we were little....MAKE THEM EAT IT and never fix anything different....I couldn't do it though...wanted them to eat!!! Is Mathew feeling okay today??? I hope!!!

Sally...OH NO!!! A/C trouble....with my crazy hormones I would die...I stay so hot all the time....Hope it's fixed .....CHEAP!!

LindaS....WOW...sounds like my kind of day!!! How awesome!! Don't you love it..when once in a while...that one day you plan out just goes perfectly??? no setbacks...no craziness....YAY!!:D

Chris....Well...let's see...what can we do to motivate you???!! ~~~in my soft motherly voice~~~ We love you honey!!! Our kids here don't go back to school until the last few days of August....and yes...you should be looking forward to your "mini" trip to PA!! PA is not that far from us..but we have never been!! I suggest it from time to time...never really get a response. Glad you have good weather to be in the garden today!!! (((HUGS)))
 
Today...I am keeping all three grandbabies for a while....Traci has a couple of appts so she is bringing Jesse and Jaiden over....One of the appts is for Jesse...she is trying to get him set up and into his speech therapy. He's talking a lot...just not very clearly and he will be 3 in Nov...so she has been really concerned. That's about it for me...

Have a great day ladies!!!!:p
 
Good morning sweeties!

Chris-have a great day today! Don't work too hard :). Glad you get a break from rain!

LindaW-have fun with the grandbabies today!

Everyone who pops in have a great day! ((((hugs)))) and love to all of my Ofam!
 
Good morning ladies! I love the weather we are having. It isn't good for swimming but it works for everything else. :-)

I'm taking a day of vacation today so I'm going to take Shaun to swimming lessons. They are at the Y so it doesn't matter what kind of weather we are having. Sydney's class didn't fill up this week so Shaun's got lessons but Sydney doesn't. Then, this afternoon, Sydney has gymnastics. In between, I think that we may go look for those school shoes. I'm procrastinating...can you tell?

I did get lots of pics Chris so there will be some layouts showing up in the gallery. And Linda W, yes...I agree, a day that goes as well as planned is splendid! And three grandbabies this morning...you are going to be busy today!

Dawn, I hope you have a great day as well. Hugs right back at you!
 
Good morning! I'm feeling great today, so that's good! Good because there are still more things left to put away from the trip. However, first I'm making at least one LO. I have some new stuff that is just burning a hole in my hard drive.
Oh by the way, Dear Oscraps Designers,
I love you. Do you need a CT or guest? If so, Holla!
LOL. There is so much awesome stuff in the shop, I could never afford everything I want.

I know, Chris, I can not believe that it is AUGUST already! Good gravy. Atha starts preK in just a few weeks, how did that happen? Time passes so quickly. Also, sadly, it's almost time for Vince to head off to Afghanistan. He said this morning that his mission has changed, and he thinks he'll be leaving in about 2 weeks. Bummer. At least hopefully he'll be here for my first prenatal appt on the 10th and get to hear the baby's heartbeat before he goes.

Um, apparently I am totally unable to complete a coherent thought today. Yikes. My brain is going in all directions. So I'd better get to scraplifting one of Ona's awesome LO's and maybe that will help me organize my brain. I'll come back later for personals. Till then, cheeriO!!
 
hey girlies!! I'm moving fast this morning...well, sorta!! LOL!!! I took a sec to sit down and say hi, so I'm not gonna want to get off of this comfy chair to get the girlies from gymnastics...then off to get our extended fam home and on to music lessons (after picking Q up from football camp!! LOL! never a dull moment!)

Chris, I SOOOOOOO know what you mean about unmotivated...is there something in the water????? I did my first two digiLOs in about three weeks yesterday. Amazing!!!! Remember when I scrapped everyday from Jan 1st to May 31th??? LOL!!!! it'll come...inspiration will come! I can feel it creeping in here!!

Linda W, enjoy your grandbabies today!! Tell Traci not to worry a BIT about her sweetie Jesse's speech. (I'm a big fan of speech therapy since my sil used to be a therapist!). but just so she knows, my Emma did not say three words until she was 3! And she does not stop talking now a bit!!! :) and that was after Cora and Quentin both were at complete sentences at 2!!! Just so she knows!! :)

Dawn!!!! did you ever find Sara on FB? I'm worried about the two of you not finding each other!! LOL!! have a groovy day, babe!

LindaS, I'm still trying trying trying to work on cozumel!! I don't want to give up a great chance to hang out with my fave Iowans!! :) have a great day off, darling!!

Andrea, ohhhh enjoy your scrapping, dear!! yay!! I'm going to come and lift some of your LOs, too!! You are fab! :)

happy day to all who come after me!!

love you all...
 
Good Morning Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((hugs)) sorry this is a quick one I am feeling under the weather :( I think I caught a cold. It start with sniffles yesterday and now I just feel blah! Hope you all have a great day!
 
Good morning ladies. I have been checking up on you guys but it feels like forever since I posted...although I think it has only been about 4-5 days. LOL!! I have been in an unmotivated funk too. I'm trying to work myself out of it though.

I had a great weekend. Thursday evening I got a call from a friend of mine who invited me and my dh to the Kenny Chesney concert. Unfortunately it was on the same day as our garage sale so it was stressing me out a little bit trying to figure out how it was all going to come together. Because he had 3 opening acts (I don't know the first one but Mongomery Gentry and Sugarland were two of the openers) the concert started at 4. My sisters and soon to be SIL were also there and we ended up all sitting together. It was awesome. Afterward, dh ended up staying in Seattle for Seafair (yearly hydroplane races and blue angels show). My friend had been invited to hand out on a barge on Lake Washington so Derek went with him and they had a blast. I didn't realize that dh had never been to Seafair before. So, his first time was awesome. Addie and I hung out at home for the day trying to stay cool and I had to get my week 3 BOTCT LO done. I ran a little behinnd this week trying to come up with a plan for it. I like what I ended up with...check it out HERE. I need to go put up the links for voting. I'll do that in a few minutes before I do personals, I think.

Our garage sale went great. I got to hang out with my sis and a friend of mine and get rid of stuff. We met some interesting people and got rid of a lot and made some money for some future vacationing. Yay!! Can't beat making a little extra money. Yay!! It was kinda fun.

So, I know I like to vent a lot but I have a little rant here. So, Derek and i have completely different belief systems...basically, I have one and he doesn't. I am soooooo tired of fighting about it. Everytime I do anything with church he gets all bent out of shape about it. Before we had kids we had lots of conversations about raising our kids in church, even though we didn't go at the time. So, when I finally decided I wanted to go to church he decided he was atheist. Not only did he decide he was atheist but also that anything having to do with church and my time there was a huge disruption of his life. So, the more I went to church...the more involved I got and I love it. So, last week I was asked to lead a ministry called Helping Hands. It is a awesoem program no matter what your belief system is. It is basically a program to bring members of the church together when somebody has a need. For instance...someone is having a baby so we provide them with a few meals they can stick in their freezer, or a single parent gets injured and someone can go over and mow their lawn. That type of thing. So my job is basically to lead the program and get people with a need matched up with people who can provide. It will take a little bit of time, but it shouldn't take too much. So, I told them I needed to discuss it with dh first. So when I brought it up he immediately got angry and was irrational. I am not willing to base my decisions on that type of response so I accepted and said I would love to be a part of that. Anyway, it all came to a head last night and became a big fight. I am just so tired and exhausted from all the fighting about all of it. We don't fight about actual beliefs just the time I spend involved with church. My kids are also involved so it isn't as though I am always ditching him with them or anything. It is just hard. I know I have talked about this before. It just seems like the more time that goes on the more both of us dig in our heels. It is so frustrating.

Well, I am off. I'll come back soon for some personals. I actually have a patient. Amazing, I know. :) Have a great day!!
 
Hi everyone! Just catching up with you gals before you all head off to bed! Its Tuesday morning here in Grafton, 9.31am to be exact! DH dropped me off this morning as he needed the car, that was fine until I got upstairs to my office and realised that my office key is on my key ring which is in my car which DH had driven away!!! aaaarggh!! :) So I ring his mobile and get his message bank straight away.....DUH!! he hasn't got his mobile turned on!!! I remembered he was going over to a truck repair place, he used to work there years ago so I ring and talk to the receptionist, who will give him the message when he arrives. Of course we have a laugh about the him being a 'typical male'. Anyway, I go downstairs and make a coffee in the training centre kitchen and have a chat with two of the trainers so that passes the time a bit. I get a call from DH "Do you realise there is huge long line of cars going back over the bridge?" "Sorry" I say, "but I need those keys!!! Please!!!" LOL! :) He finally arrives and I finally get inside the office, I was originally dropped off at 8.00am it is was then 8.50am!! Just hope the rest of the day goes better!!!

OK, onto personals!
 
Chris: It is scary isn't it! August already!! It's the last month of winter for us! Not that it has been cold mind you!! Frosty nights and mornings but the days are beautiful, I wish it could just stay like this all the year round!! Hope you had a great day in the garden Chris! and really hope you get some proper summer weather soon!!!

LindaW: Have fun with your little babies?? No doubt you did!! I guess I am with your Mum on the 'eat your food cause you aren't getting anything else' bit.....my lot didn't get anything else either........having to cook for 4 of them was enough without having to do different meals, LOL! And wow! 11 hours of sleep!! your body sure must of needed it!!!

Dawn: Hope you are feeling better sweets!! Nothing worse than being out and about and coming down with something like that!! How's little Davey going?? up to mischief no doubt! and sorry to hear that your satellite internet didn't work out.......we have satellite here downunder and we get a reasonable upload and download limit its just that the weather can sometimes cause problems with the connections......heavy cloud and rain just stops the connection entirely!

LindaS: Hope you had a great day with the swimming lessons. The schools downunder have swimming as part of their curriculum so all the kiddies get taught starting in about first grade. and LOL about the school shoes, I certainly don't miss that!!!

Andrea: Hi and glad to see you back!! sad that your DH has to leave earlier, but hopefully he will get to hear that little heartbeat before he goes!! and thanks sweetie about scraplifting one of my LO's......what a lovely compliment!! you go and scraplift all you want!!! :)

Sally: 8 KIDS!! are you stark raving mad woman??!! :) but I know what it is like, having had 4 of my own their friends would often come over and stay the night etc and when they do get to a certain age where they can fend for themselves its ok, sometimes I can remember it being fun, even though the noise level was always horrendous!!! hope you get to do some scrapping soon!! :)

Kat: Hope you are feeling better my dear!!! nothing worse than coming down with a cold/flu. Also, keep an eye out in the gallery, I did an LO with you and Cynthia in mind!!! :) LOL!!!

Clara: Sad to hear about your argument with your DH. Does he not have any hobbies of his own? something that he likes to do? It seems a pity that he doesn't see your work with the church as being your 'thing to do', especially as the kids are also involved. Hope you are able to sort something out and agree to disagree. {hugs} xo

Hello to everyone else that pops in, hope you have a great night and will talk to you all tomorrow!! {{hugs}} to everyone! nighty night!!
 
hey all... quick hi as I'm headed to bed... just cleaned the kitchen which I shouldn't have done because I knew being on my feet that long would kill my back, and I was right... but I knew hubby wasn't going to do it, just like he didn't mow the yard (which I did) :( so, now I'm in pain and going to try to go to bed and relax my back!

Matthew isn't coughing today, so hopefully it's nothing... we'll see...

have a great night everyone!
