Daily Ooo's Tuesday Feb 3

[faerywings]

Toot toot! it it Tuesday!
Monday is already over. What a day I had. Nothing went wrong, nothing went right-- seemed kinda like....nothing... went. Another day where I felt like I walked in circles. But I did have a lot of stuff crossed off of my to-do list so I must have been doing something!
I did do my Jan p365 layout


This took a while I guess....

But I don't know, my scrapping mojo is G-O-N-E gone. *poof*
I haven't done a LO that i really liked in so long. And it isn't for lack of awesome materials! The O-Shop is just brimming with beautiful stuff.
I am just so intimidated by the Gallery again. The lo's that are being posted are nothing short of mouthwatering!
Mine stuff seems to be "same old same old." Yup, it is "Rut-Time." I know, I need to go in there and do some lifts- that always helps.

I was supposed to be cleaning to day, but my client asked me to postpone til Friday. She didn't get a chance to clean up her house, so I could come in and clean LOL (See Sal, you aren't the only one!) But seriously- this lady is so sweet- but she is not a housekeeper. If she isn't ready for me, there are usually piles of laundry on the sofa, and dirty dishes in the sink and on the counter. It really does make a difference to me that she cleans up a bit
So it is a work at home day for me. If I can keep myself focused, maybe I'll have some time to play later.

And how are all of you?

Hey hey LindaS! Wow a trip to San Fran! Have fun!

Sandra- I have no words to say except that I love you, and am hoping for the best for you and Dad. Be strong, but not so strong that you ignore your own needs, ok??

ME- one of these days I am gonna give you an O-Speeding Ticket LOL All of these drive by's Hope your doing great! And that Video of C dancing-- I laughed my butt off!

Krista- is the family feeling better yet? Hope so!

Sally- hugs to you too. Mine aren't the same as YMG but hopefully they will make ya smile.

Karen, I know it- February...scray! Buuuut.... please don't go by my dates. I am calendar challenged as the other O's will tell you. Sometimes I really screw up the dates and lose a week or two

I love the name Chase! I taught a Chase way back and he was such a cutie Glad that you have some time off too. We got up to 46 yesterday- it practically felt balmy. But it is snowing here again... so the warmth isn't lasting.

Blythe!!! How was your b-day! Hope you got that cake! BTW- I love all of your Flairs LOL

Clara- I am going to check out your blog as soon as I am done here- and TY for your comments on mine And IKWYM about the frustration of your life/day/moods being regulated and controlled by pills. And men, well-- lets just say that for many of them, common sense is not a strong point. I hope that you get the meds worked out so you can have YMG back.

Linda P-- how fun! I would love to learn how to design, but ATM, I barely have enough time to scrap LOL
Good luck with the challnge- make sure you show us some of your work!

Tip on Tues:
Tell the people that you love that you love them, each and every day!

Love you all
xoxoxoxoxo

good morning... my butt is draggin', and I'm trying to get some coffee in me... gonna spend some time with the kiddos this morning, then shower and head off to the hospital... I'll call them around 9 or so this morning to check in though... I updated the other thread, but they did give him medication to bring down his fever and it was 101.4 when I called after 10... better but not enough... no phone calls through the night which means no negative changes...

Not much else is going on... my mom and sister will be down Friday evening and my dad's brother and his wife will be down over the weekend... so my days consist of staying with dad, updating people via phone, exhaustion and worry...

Chris - I love you, too... and when you find the magic pill that helps me do that, let me know

hi to everyone else! have a good day!

Hi ladies.

I had such a hard time getting out of bed this morning. Gray, overcast weather does that to me, I suppose. Hoping to catch up on some tivo tonight - we are big Office fans, and I've heard the episode after the Super Bowl was great so that's a must do for tonight. Last night I had intentions of doing all of this picking up around the house, but I got sucked into scrapping, and before I knew it, DH was home from his class, and it was bedtime. Imagine that --- sucked into scrapping. hahaha.

Chris - you crack me up with the speeding ticket. I saw your lo in the gallery at SBG - awesome job! I am using the same template for mine, and I love how yours looks too.

Sandra - hope you are hanging in there and find a little mememe time for yourself.

Love you all!! Happy Tuesday.

Hi all, I figure a belated quick drive by is better than not stopping. I'm sorry, I haven't been around, I just have a lot going on and I'm also sharing my computer with my brother. urgh...... lol

Chris, I think I've been walking in those circles too.

Sandra, just said prayers for your daddy! ((hugs))

Hi Mary Ellen! lol on the sucked into scrapping.

Good morning. I thought today I would hop in before work. I am really hoping to do my taxes today. I hope the computer works with me. I don't know what the issue was yesterday. So annoying.

So, yesterday my dh took all of his pills. Holy crap!!! He was a different man. He was motivated, didn't seem annoyed at everything and was just in a good mood. I cannot believe the instant difference taking all of his aderol in a day made. Amazing!!! I am even more amazed that he actually listened to me when we were talking the other night. So often he just closes off and doesn't hear anything I say. So, yesterday was a good day. We stuck to our plan to keep the house together yesterday and it went well. I was stoked about that. I have almost got Ethan's room done. His toybox is up there, he's got his new bed set on his bed and I put some more stuff on the walls. It has come out really well. I have a shelf to put up, a curtain rod/curtain and a couple of other things but it is close. Now I just have to finish cleaning out the guest room for the extra 6 yo we will have next month. My dh and I are contemplating offering to keep him for a year when she gets deployed in August but we want to see how it goes after the month before we offer any such thing. The dad is a jerk and she is afraid he may take off with her kid while she's gone. It is a sucky situation. So we'll see how this month goes. It would be a huge commitment and I don't know if we would be up for it or not. We'll see.

Chris - I understand about the scrapping mojo. I hate it when I cannot come up with a lo to save my life. I usually lose motivation at the same time as I lose my mojo so it works out for me a little bit. That is a great page though. I also understand those cicles. I have many of those days. At least stuff got crossed off your list. Yay!!

Sandra - big hugs!!! I continue to pray for you and your family. Try not to let everyone wear you out. Do what you need to do and then get to everyone else when you are able. Even though the responsibility has fallen on you as the contact don't let it wear you out completely. Remember not to overdo it because then you will be no good to yourself or to anyone else.

ME - sucked into scrapping, huh? aka procrstination? Haha!! I love it. Not a bad way to avoid doing the mundane tasks of the world.

Merkee - I hope your world slows down a little bit.

To everyone else...have a fantastic Tuesday!!

I think it may be safe to say that I am in over my head in this design challenge. I'm learning a ton though, so it can't be all bad! I hope I like next weeks' them and color swatch better I hope it's gets so that it takes up a little less of my time - I'm really going through Oscraps withdrawal!
It's cold here again, below zero this morning. After today it's supposed to warm up! Yay!.
I'm trying to get my greenhouse at school ready for planting. I've got plants coming in about three weeks so things will be full and super busy! We do hanging baskets and patio planters to sell.
Hello everyone - hope you are all well and happy!

Hi all! I know I've been MIA. I really should be picking up my house right now. But I'm not. Yesterday I was icky. Stomach flu. Came home from school after my first class. It's a good thing I don't live more than 25 minutes away because I barely made it into the house. I literally got my coat off, my hair pulled back and my shirt off and into the bathroom. No more. Then I slept for 2.5 hours. I felt much better by about 7 p.m. And much better today, although I had craps from heck today. Wonder if they are related.

Anyway, making nice, plain baked chicken (cornflake crumb coated) for dinner and should be cleaning. But I thought I'd check in with all of you. I need to also update my p365 blog today. I didn't do it Sunday like I've been trying to do. (ME and Chris - thanks always for the nice comments!)

Hope you all start feeling the mojo soon! I've got one layout for ADSR to do. So, I'll try to do that. What do you think? Family tree or "Wade Women"? I'm leaning toward family tree, something I could frame for Ben. But Wade Women would be easier since I have a couple of recent pictures with all of us. Can't decide....

O.k. Well, I should get going. Have a good night everyone!!

Sandra - special thoughts and prayers your way honey!

Here's a preview of what I've got done on my mini kit so far................. I'm still working and not sure I'm too crazy about it, but for a first effort at designing anything, I've learned a lot. All the mini kits will be available each week, free for download. I'll post a link when it is available.

 

[Merkee]

Linda, that is great. I love your lamb and rocking horse.

Linda, that is great. I love your lamb and rocking horse.

Thanks Merkee - that's about the only thing I can draw! Can you tell I'm a farm girl

 

[clarabear]

That is an excellent start to designing. You'll be loving your own stuff before you know it. Great job.
