Hump Day!

Wednesdays...
middle of the week
half way to the weekend
Usually it's a fun day but not today. I had to leave work to go get the kids. Bel has a high fever.
A rock hit my window & my phone still isn't working right.

However, Eric is coming home tomorrow evening... halaluyah! The kids miss him so much (i do too).

I have some adorable pics of the kids at Wagon Trails in Ohio. Here's Paige and I feeding a (i think) Carribou. sweet eh?


How do you like this guy? He has one brown eye and one blue and he likes to nuzzle! :)

I love animals. I feel better looking at these pics.

The Picnic

We had our last company picnic yesterday. It was a lot of fun and we laughed so much I hurt. Or maybe I hurt because I was on my feet from 10am to 5pm. Or maybe it was because they BUM-RUSHED ME INTO THE LAKE! Clothes and all in the lake.

My phone was in my pocket! My favorite thing in the world and it still isn't working. I'm having withdrawals from not texting!

The sad part was they kidnapped my daughter to get me down by the lake too. Scared me to death honestly. Truely not funny - don't prank someone like that! I have high-blood pressure! lol ;)

Eric's mad about the phone but I have insurance so it'll only cost $50- I think? Course i have to wait another day to get it though.

Eric told me today that he will be home Friday! 3 days sooner than I expected. Thank you Lord! He makes me feel safe... kinda like a 'happy bubble' kwim?http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=107427&user_id=9233

Off to bed. nighty-night.

SISversary June 2008

I don't know what to write but dang SISversary was fantastic. Had a great time meeting all the sisters and hanging. I didn't get a lot of scrappin' done but I sure came home inspired. I have at least 6 unfinished projects! Here's a few of my memories!

Barbara and Helen (po Helen)

Gigi's class (300 page book and I got 2 done lol)

the challenges (thanks Sandra for helping us win and giving me the album - YOU ROCK)

the suspense (driving was difficult when you're that excited, made it there in 9 hours-home took 10 ;)

the presents (the backpack is awesome)and the prizes (seriously, I'm so lucky)

the ice cream(brownies and caramel and fudge...)

the waffle house (hashbrowns, covered and chunked!)

omg I adored Trynity's poem! girl you RAWK!

belly'ing up to the bar with SEVERAL sis's
My car-mates, Mandi and Pam! girls you can chat like noone! I hope i didn't scare ya!? lol

The pink elephant with the glasses and martini! OMG!

My roomies, Misty, you only snored for a few minutes - tee hee

Here's a link to my pics from the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27767559@N08/?saved=1

Big Crapola!

I know great thing to say, right? WELL that's what happened... life took a big crapola. My boss told me today that the new company that was supposed to buy our company has decided to close us down instead. NICE?

NOT!

So we proceeded to tell all the employees. The sobbing was so horribly sad and infuriating. I'm angry and so worried about them. The economy is hideous as it is and now I have 3 couples who went home today to their kids knowing they would both be out of a job soon.

OMG I'm angry!

My first blog

I took the jump! I finally see a purpose to having a blog. I actually like sharing with people now. Maybe it's age... maybe it's the internet age and so many of my friends are online now rather than next door. Oh how I miss my BFF next door though...

Anyway, what a great way to share my life with my not-so-close family and friends then to let them in when they have time.

So, what should I write about first? I think the thing on the top of my mind is SISversary.

Less than two days and I'm off to Tennessee to make new friends and scrap with some of the best scrappers in the world... yep even international scrappers will be there. If you've never heard of Scrap in Style (SIStv) check it out! I love it. http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/welcome.php

Off to attend a meeting for now.
