crazy day

today, the 2 minutes that are left as i type, has been a crazy one. had every intention of getting an early start, picking up a present for a party on saturday while getting the oil changed, coming home to clean until 3pm, taking michael to a birthday party (lots of parties these days).

well, we did get up early, did get the present and did get to the party on time (even before the party throwers got there)... but the oil change thing just didn't happen. i see now the joys of owning a volkswagen. german cars and stores filled with lead-laced goodies from china don't mix. but i did finally get an inspection because i just love to spend $40 on something that 100% of the you-know-who's don't purchase at all!

but, luckily i have a cute little boy who does silly things, even when i'm not at my very best, to cheer me up! truly a sweet-heart, both of them. thank you God for giving me such happy, healthy boys.

another green bean day and a daily something

i am officially addicted to my diet coke from chicken express. i usually only have one a day, but i will make a special trip just for it. good thing they're only $1.

owen had beans again today. not much going on. michael had his last day at mom's day out today. i was pretty sad for him. his little friend, bella (i talked to her mom), was very upset this morning. she will go to michael's school but not until he's in 1st grade. and that's if we're still living where we are. feeling kind of weird about him going to school. i think i'm going to be a complete wreck. gotta go. mike has to print out something for his subbuteo thingy...

later kids!

howdy tuesday!

Well, i'm thinking by the little clock down on the right that it's really Wednesday. oh well. i was very tired today. had to sneak in naps here and there just to make it through today. i know why. didn't have a good b-fast, well, check that...didn't have any breakfast, no OJ and no vitamin either.
we did have an early start this morning. went to get shoes for michael to wear to school. he didn't want adidas. he wanted sketchers. didn't have his size. left store with nothing! try again another day. got a jibbitz for his crocs instead.
hit the dollar tree for cleaning supplies and these:

i have one of Owen with them on as well but my internet is being weird tonight. it keeps goofing up when i try to post a photo. anyway. it's not blogger it's all over. strange. maybe it's the meteor shower. well that was sunday, but still. could be. i'm king of ticked that i missed that. thought about it all day then went to bed forgetting all about it. oh well.

i'm going to try to put a link up to my flickr account where you'll be able to see my daily somethings for the new AE challenge i've taken on. for now, try here.

Daily Something #1

I've decided to take up one of Ali Edwards' challenges. I like to think of her as the queen of 'real scrapbooking' because she incorporates not just photos into her work, but 'stuff'; much like the stuff i've kept in boxes all these years. airline or movie tickets, grocery receipts, brochures, event programs...and do i have a ton of this 'stuff'!

the whole idea of this challenge is to take a few mintues everyday and write something down or create something. the something can be a story that came to mind during the day and then jotted on the back of an envelope. it can be a picture that you took and then digitally added some journaling...whatever. some days it will be a long story, other days it might be a slip of paper with a note.

well this little cutie might not be very important in the years to come, but it's something that i wanted to do and that made me happy. i had to start somewhere...and what better place to start my 'Daily Something' than with a new pair of shoes? a new pair of shoes for me! and it's a picture of my feet...never before seen on a scrapbook project!
