New look

Megan got her very first hair cut ever today. She was so good. I am so very proud of her. She didn't cry or anything. She just sat there and let the lady cut her hair. She looks so grown up with her hair cut. I can't believe it. Shane got his hair cut too. I don't have any pics of his yet, but I will take some later on after I get them cleaned up. I just couldn't miss hers on camera. It was her first after all. Isn't she cute?



Until next time. . .

Wow!

Has it really been 6 days since my last post? You can blame the fabulous ladies I ct for. LOL They have been hard at working creating some fab kits. I'll be posting some previews of these kits and my layouts in the next few days.

Our life here has gotten a little crazy. This weekend we are taking the kids to get haircuts. This will be Megan's first haircut. So I'm trying to find something that I like that isn't going to take off much length. I hope I don't cry. LOL

The kids have been crazy. It's been raining here so we haven't really been able to go outside and play. The kids have tons of extra built up energy because of this so this weekend we are planning on taking the kids to the park. Let's hope the weather works with us in those plans. LOL I know I'm ready to get out of the house for a bit. We are also planning on taking them to lunch before we go to the park. That should give them lots of energy to run off. We haven't decided on a place to go for lunch though. I'm thinking Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gatti's. We'll see where we end up though. LOL

Well I guess I'm going to run for now. H will be home soon and I still need to get ready to go grocery shopping and pay bills. Woo Hoo Just kidding! I hate bills. Sometimes I wish I were still a teenager living at home so I wouldn't have to pay bills. Then again if I were a teenager living at home I wouldn't have my darling munchkins! Maybe being an adult isn't so bad after all. I've been blessed with my bossy little kids. I say bossy because as I'm finishing up this post Shane is telling me he wants me to go get something for him. What's wrong with him getting it himself? Nothing! He just thinks he's the boss.

Until next time.

Speed Scrap Tonight!!!!

There is a Speed Scrap tonight at Inspiration Lane. Two of my all time favorite designers are hosting. Woo Hoo! Rachel of Steel City Scraps and Christie of Christie Lemmon Designs are hosting this fabulous scrap. Head on over to Inspiration Lane and register so you can join in on all the fun. Oh by the way, there will be fabulous prizes to boot.

Let it Rain!

Thank goodness it's finally rained! We have been in dire need of some serious rainfall. The last two days we've gotten some great rainfall. Everything is starting to look so green and pretty. It's not supposed to rain for the next couple of days but rain returns to the forecast next week. 5 out of 7 days we are supposed to get some sort of rain. I hope we do. It's been so dry here. We are finally got over our average of precip. for the year so far. Woo Hoo! I am so excited about that. I know I'm weird but when you live in Texas you get excited when it rains and is cool. LOL Well I'm off to take some Aleve. I over did things today and I'm pretty sore.

Until next time. . .

Vacation Over

Well if you can call it a vacation. LOL I don't really consider a pinched nerve a vacation but I've had lots of down time the last few days. H goes back to work tomorrow so I thought I would give it a try today without my muscle relaxers. Well I made it all day without them but I'm in some pretty serious pain right now. I don't know how I'm going to make it until Friday. Friday is his next day off. I guess I'll just have to deal with things the best that I can. I'll take Aleve for the pain because the pain meds make me drowsy as well as the muscle relaxer. I'll take the muscle relaxer in the evening when he gets home this way if I crash on the couch at least he will be here to watch the kids. LOL Today wasn't to bad without them but I know it would of been much better with them.

I got to sleep in this morning. That was a nice treat. Shane and I got up around 10 this morning. I have no idea what time H got up. It's not very often I get to sleep in like that. It was definitely a nice treat. He's taken such good care of me these last couple of days. I'm going to be lost without him tomorrow. LOL

My to do list tomorrow includes lots of laying around and playing with the kids. I have a couple loads of laundry to do but Shane will help me do those. He's blossoming into such a big helper. Megan is even starting to help put clothes in the dryer. She hasn't quite mastered pushing the button to turn the dryer on but she's learning. I can't wait until they are both old enough to actually do all the laundry themselves. ROFL Well I think that's it for me tonight. I'm about to head off to bed for some much needed ZZZZZZ's.

Until next time. . .

Wow!

Where has the time gone? I've been so busy with scrapbooking stuff and then I hurt my back. Apparently I pinched or tweaked some muscle or nerve on Wednesday and then again on Thursday. Thursday evening I went to the ER. I am now on pain meds for obviously the pain and a muscle relaxer to help with the muscle spasms. I'm feeling a little better today but the dr. said it could take up to 2 weeks for it to heal completely. The only downfall to the meds is that they make me extremely drowsy. I sleep a good 10 hours a night and during the day I end up taking at least a 2 hour nap. The rest of my time is spent sitting/laying on the couch hanging out with the family. I haven't hardly been on at all. I will be without the pain meds and muscle relaxers on Tuesday because H goes back to work. So I guess we'll see how healed up I am on Tuesday.

The kids are so awesome! I love them dearly. They continue to be their normal rambunctous selves. I guess I couldn't expect anything different from them. H has been a god send these last couple of days. He's been doing all of the cleaning. The only thing I've done is cook dinner yesterday and tonight. He does all of the dishes, sweeping, giving the kids baths. It's been awesome being able to kick back and relax. I couldn't ask for a better husband. Just when I've begun to accept some of his habits he turns around and does stuff like this for me. He's truly a blessing in my life. Well, the meds are starting to kick in so I guess I'm off for tonight.

Until next time. . .

Such a slacker

I know. I am a huge slacker. My laptop wasn't working for like the last week and I hate this desktop. It's just in a bad place and I have a hard time reading what I'm typing. LOL Well DH took my laptop with him to work today and a guy he works with took computer classes in college. Luckily, he knew enough about computers and he was able to fix it. I can't wait to get it back this evening. I have so much that I need to catch up on plus I have some photo editing classes starting the beginning of the week. The timing couldn't be more perfect. So anyway, that's why I've slacked on my blog. I am hoping to be up and running this evening but computer time will be scarce until the holiday weekend has past.

Until next time. . .
