[I missed my blogger anniversary!]
October 17, 2005 - I started this blog! I can't believe it's been over a year already!
[I'm sooooo proud of Anakin!]
We received Anakin's 1st report card today. All E's (exceeds expected) and a 100% in spelling. The teacher even commented that he is a great reader. :) I'm soooooo proud of him...almost makes me want to cry! LOL! We have his first conference tomorrow. It's a "student led" conference so Anakin will be showing us what he's been working on, etc.
Also, last Saturday Anakin had his first JBQ (Junior Bible League) Meet. Basically, the kids are givin questions and they have to learn them and the answers word for word. Then, they use buzzers to buzz in and answer the questions. The goal is to know the QUESTION within the first few words...sometimes the first 2 words! Can you imagine? Well, get this...Anakin blew us and most of the competition away! David and I were completely shocked. Not that he's not smart and doesn't know his stuff...we just weren't sure how he'd deal with the competition. So, they had 6 rounds. Out of those 6, Anakin "quizzed out" on 5. That means that he answered the maximum number of questions allowed - five. Because of this he gets 10 extra points. :) Okay, back up... round 1, 2, 3, 4...they went great. Round 5 he had a breakdown. He was starting to get tired and restless. The competition was buzzing in before him (even if they got the question wrong...that made it worse for Anakin because he knew it) well, his team mates also dominated this round. It was kind of funny because they were pretty quiet the other rounds! So, Anakin started to get upset and then it happened...he got a question wrong. There are two questions that are almost the same and he didn't get enough of the question to know which one it was. :( Anyway, round 6 came and thank God we had a few minutes to talk to him, reassure him and let him take a breather. He was a little off in this round too but only because the other team was quick and good! BUT, my boy did it! He quizzed out again! He ended up in Second place overall (individual) and their team came in 3rd for their division. Not bad for their first meet ever! So, here's a layout I did yesterday. I'm suppose to be cleaning my hard drive...burning DVDs and getting stuff off of here! I'm doing it...I just needed a break! (Of course my photo isn't showing up, so you can check it out here):

[Get ready for TMI!]
TOO MUCH INFORMATION...I've been having some bleeding issues the past few weeks. Last week I saw a new OB/GYN...he basically told me to call the office if it got worse. Well, on Monday, it did. I was bleeding very heavily and had HUGE clots. Worse than after having the boys! They started me on some estrogen which is helping to slow it down. I asked the doctor today (when I went back to see him) how that works. He basically said that the lining of the uterus "evens out" with estrogen. Anyway, why am I worried about all this? Well, I'm in the middle of a 3 month cycle of the depo provera shot! I'm not suppose to be bleeding AT ALL. I knew spotting was one of the side effects...I didn't realize GUSHING blood was. (Sorry) So, they talked about doing a D&C to clean things out. We're holding off on that to see how things go on my own. Next month, I'm switching birth control. I'm trying the Nuva Ring...anyone tried it? LOL! It's that or an IUD and I don't want to do that...unless David gets snipped and then there's no chance for fertilization. Ugh...I feel so odd about all of this. This isn't suppose to be happening! I already have PCOS...I have to deal with that crap every day. The hair loss/growth, the moods, the medication, the depression, the weight gain...now this. UGH!!!!
Okay, I'm off to bed! If you made it through this entry...you earn a star. ;)

[Digging out]
I just realized that my inbox has 730 emails...130 some UNREAD. What in the world? No wonder I forget to respond to emails. I'm sorry friends!!! I'm digging out right now.
[Colds]
Everyone has colds. Coughing snot up (sorry)...allergies, asthma (Tristin)...I hate this! No one is on allergy medication YET. We usually end up having to by now, but I'm putting it off. I hate drugging the boys (Anakin & Tristin).
[Doctor Appointment]
I'm going to a new OB/GYN today. Get ready for TMI! I am on DepoProvera...I get a shot every 3 months. I'm on month 2 and I'm spotting. I shouldn't be! So, off to the GYN. I am nervous.
ETA* - My appointment went well. Dr. Galvan was really nice. I guess I'm just going to stay with him...because, get this...he had to EXAM me. I wasn't expecting it and there is nothing like having to spread your legs for a guy you don't know...LMBO!!!!!!!! Anyway, he things my bleeding is just from the Depo shot. I'm due for a shot in a month...and he gave me some info on another form on bc. It's the one that lasts for 5 years. I didn't realize I could do that one because of my blood pressure, etc. But, he reassured me that I can do it. I read a brochure and I'm going to do it. It's the same medication as the Depo, it's just not as much and for a longer period of time.
My new friend, Kristine, watched the boys for me while I went to the doctor. She had already planned on having them for an hour anyway. It worked out perfectly! We originally had planned to swap sitting every week. We both wanted to volunteer in our boys' classrooms. Jake, her oldest, is in 1st grade and was in Anakin's kindergarten class. He's in a different class this year. Anyway, I talked to Anakin's teacher and she informed me that she doesn't need Mom helpers for the day to day activities. (In kindergarten and 1st grade they do "centers" where they work on things and then move to the next "center" and work on something else.) She only needs helpers for the bigger activities. Well, okay, made me feel like an idiot for asking. She's young...seems a little TOO confident. I know, that's not bad, but when you make me sit in my 1st graders chair and you stand up in front of me and bark your info...makes me feel little and worthless! I wonder how the kids feel!?!??! So, I asked Anakin! I asked him if he still liked her. He said, no, she's bossy. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! We talked a little more and he admitted that he likes her, he just doesn't like how she talks to everyone. I totally know what he means! I didn't let him know that though.
Okay, I'm about aready to fall asleep! Later!

[I won a contest!]
I almost forgot! Check it out here: http://www.acherryontop.com/article?a=810. (Okay, why did it post this picture and not the others? UGH!)

[Here it is...the biggest TOOT ever!]
Jen Wilson asked me to be on her Creative Team!!!
For Lindsey (or anyone else that isn't a digi scrapper - LOL!) she's one of the most talented digi designers that I know. www.jenwilsondesigns.com She has a paper line too... :)
So, this is how it happened. Jen had a little contest asking for unique 'nostalgia' element ideas. I immediately started thinking...and the things that popped into my head first were: - carnival glass (for the color and textures), - old drawer pulls, - old radio dials (for dates) and I think there were a few others...I can't remember now! So, I started looking online for examples. I got eBay searches in the results so I started searching there. I found some great examples and I also found amazingly cool "employee badges" from...the 40's, I think. Of course, the one I really liked expired and the seller took the picture down before Jen saw it...I'm still searching for another one like that. (Yes, emailed the seller and did NOT hear back from him...errrrrr.) So, Jen emailed me and basically said she loved my ideas and a few emails later I got an email about filling out a something...I was confused and read on... I about fell off my chair. I sat there in disbelief because although I teased her about needing me on her team (hee heeee) I never EXPECTED that it would ever happen. But, it did.
Picture me doing the happy dance! :) Okay, maybe not.
[New Layouts]
Seriously, I don't get blogger and it's issues with loading pictures! It won't let me load them. You can see my new layouts at DST: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=138 Make sure and check out the one of Tristin called "Clark Kent"...he's too cute.
[Tristin's 4 Year old Well Check-up]
Tristin went to the doctor this week. He's only 30 lbs and short (can't remember but it's below the 10th percentile. His weight is the 2nd percentile. He's TINY...if he stays on this growth curve or whatever it's called, he'll be 5' 5". Which, isn't surprising since David is only 5' 7". I just feel bad for Tristin. I never thought in a million years that my kids would be so small. I'm huge! I'm 5' 10" and (I hate it when people say it, but it's true) I am "big boned". I've come to realize that there are a lot of tall women out there...I've ran into a lot lately, not sure why...that are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo skinny. I mean, almost to the point where it looks wrong. I've never been like that! So, I'm just worried about him. Everything else checked out great and he got 2 shots. Poor guy, it's been a year since he's had one and man, he was NOT happy about having to have one!
Funny story...on Tristin's birthday I was telling him about the day he was born (I honestly can't remember if I shared this already so read on and humor me). He asked where he came out...first he asked if he came out my mouth. LOL! I told him no and quickly said, "you came out my pee pee". Yes, we call penis' pee pee's so I just decided to call mine that. Come on! I have 3 boys! So, the doctor asked something...and Tristin started talking. He likes to talk and rambles BIG TIME...changing from one subject to another and goes into long made up stories. Right now he likes to talk about trying to find Jerry, I think from "Tom & Jerry". Anyway, he started talking about being in my tummy and how he was scared. LOL! Then, he paused and said, "but, I came out my Mommy's pee pee and I was happy". OHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOSH. I think I turned beet red and the doctor cracked up! I'm sure he had to have told someone when he left that room! LOL!
With that, I say have a great weekend! I'm doing the touch up painting in the living room (we procrastinated yesterday because David had a temp and we had a date - we took the kids to the sitter and sat at home and watched Lost!)...dishes and laundry today. Fun fun! Hopefully, I'll have living room pictures tonight. :)

[Crazy]
My life has been even more crazy than it normally is...on Tristin's birthday, we started some home improvement. A friend of ours refinished our hard wood floors in our living room. That took 3 days. Since then, David has been painting the room. It is taking forever! He works all day then comes home and works on it right away. I usually take the boys out of the house or take them outside or downstairs. Our life seems so crazy right now! We are looking forward to being able to eat at our kitchen table again, sit in the living room on our new furniture...and just have room to walk around! Here are some pictures:
***UGH! Why?!?!?! I accidently deleted this picture and now I can't get it re-loaded! I will try again later or tomorrow...I know you really want to see my nasty before pictures! ;)
This is the before shot of the floors.
Nasty...I can't believe it took us this long to get them refinished!
You can see where the couch was...lol!

Here's Paxtin playing...it's been hard to keep him out of the room! I think
he's holding David's "safety glasses" here. He loves them!
You can see the refinished floors in this picture. I didn't have time to get an "after"
shot because we went staight to painting once the floors where finished.
That is the sample paint we bought...and it will be the final color on this one wall. :) Don't ask me why David painted that shape!
Tristin painting the primer on last night...
in his underwear! LOL! I already did a layout of this
(see on the sidebar). He loves to paint and had so much fun!
...and Anakin paiting the primer. He kept moving too much so his pictures were blurry. :( I think maybe Virtual Photographer can fix it for me.
[Sickies]
In other news...Paxtin has been sick since LAST weekend. He had a fever last weekend and then broke out in a rash last Tuesday. I took him to the doctor on Wednesday because I was suppose to watch 2 boys on Friday and I knew the Mom was leaving on Thursday. I was right in what I thought it was...Roseolla...and it's viral. So, I didn't get to watch the boys. Thing is...Paxtin didn't have a fever for like 5 days and now it's back again...and this time higher. His dots are almost gone though. I'm wondering if he's got something else working on him now. Teeth? I don't know. But, Tristin has a low grade fever now...and he's going to have to miss his first day of school tomorrow. :( I'm just praying he'll be well enough to go to school on Wednesday. He has his first field trip to "Safety Town" and the Fire House. Speaking of Field Trips...Anakin has one this week too. He gets to go to a pumpkin place where they have mazes, rides, etc.
[I've been holding this in...]
I've got a HUGE, the biggest ever...Toot coming. I can't share and it's driving me nuts!
[Random Info]
This weekend I went to a huge garage sale that was put on by the Mom's of Multiples group here in town. Now, I'm sure there were lots of nice things there, but I was totally disappointed! Maybe it's because Anakin is wearing a 5-6 now and the selection is bare when you get past 4T. I don't know. But, most of the clothes were horrible. I can look at the sale racks at Target and get better clothes for maybe a few dollars compaired to the ratty clothes I saw at the garage sale. I did try to help my friend find her little girl some things too. I couldn't believe all the 80ish looking dresses that were there! Maybe I'm just too picky? LOL! I like my kids to look nice even if they are wearing Walmart clothes (which, they do a lot). Actually, I just picked up their Christmas sweaters this week at Walmart. I'm going to have to watch Anakin though...we stuffed him into the biggest size (5T) so he could match his brothers. He actually wants to match them. I'm afraid he might have to wear something else come December...but, we will run to Sears and get their pictures taken before he grows out of it! Good thing I've got 2 other kids that can take turns wearing it so it will be worth the $9 I paid for it! LOL! Do I sound cheap? :P
[Lost]
I know I'm like 20,000 years late on this craze. LOL! I wanted to watch the first season and things just got to crazy and I never got to. Well, David and rented the first DVD to the 1st season and we were hooked. I was instructed (by David) to go get the whole 1st season on DVD as soon as we were done watching the one we rented. It was cheaper just to go buy it. :) If it's anything like we were when we started watching Smallville (we watched 3 seasons in a few months so we could get caught up to watch the 4th when it started! LOL!!!!) ...no we won't be ready to start watching the first show of the season on Wednesday!
[24]
That's another one we just started watching! We rented it the same time as we did Lost. I'm sure we'll be buying those DVDs too.
[Okay...]
it's time to go watch Lost. At least I blogged, right? ;)

[My baby...turns 4 tomorrow]
Tristin, that is, my second baby! I can't believe he's going to be FOUR. Where has time gone?
I don't want to say that I favor any of my boys but Tristin has such a special place in my heart. He is my miracle baby in such a different way than the other 2 (isn't that cool that they all have such a cool story to their conceptions/birth). We tried and tried to get pregnant with Tristin...and after a little over a year, we finally did it with the help of a little pill called Clomid. I found out around this time that I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). My life has been different ever since.
While Tristin was in my tummy, they told me his legs were short....then around 38 weeks they told me that he was small...and he still is! I worry about him...about his health (he has asthma, they think and allergies) and his growth.
He's still so tiny, still wears mostly 2T pants (although I did try on his 2T jeans from last winter and they are too short...so, I need to find some of those jeans that you can change the waist so they won't fall off of him!).
Anyway, he's my cuddler and my happy boy. He tells me he loves me out of the blue (something that Anakin rarely ever does or did!), he appreciates the things we do...he's just so different than Anakin!!! I love Anakin, don't get me wrong...I just tend to appreciate those differences more now than ever. I try hard not to point those out to make him sad though. Anakin has so many good qualities too.
Here is Tristin at 2 days old, still in the hospital:

and here he is just last weekend. He still has his cute cheeks. :) Happy Birthday, Buddy! I love you! You'll always be my Sweet Pea!
We've got big plans for tomorrow (not really). We're going to McD's for lunch...he's eating, not me! ;) Then, to Tobin's Pizza (our favorite) for a free pizza and cookie for his birthday! LOVE TOBIN'S! Then, afterwords, it's his "Superman Birthday Party"! We're having Ryan, Paige and Morgan (our neighbor kids) over for cake and ice cream and some party favors. Tristin is so excited...and you know what? So am I!
He got to celebrate his birthday at pre-school today too! He's one happy boy!
[I like being a loser!]
Down 13.4 lbs in 6 weeks! I did this layout for the contest at JenWilsonDesigns.com. You can see my loss in my face (still have a double chin, but my face is thinner).
[I won!]
I won a prize in round 2 of Jen's contest last week! I won a $20 gift certificate to www.ginamillerdesigns.com. :) Here is my winning lo: ugh, it won't let me post it! I'll try again tomorrow!
NIGHT!

[I scrapped tonight!]
Frick & Frack are debuting their first kit at Digital Freebies tomorrow...actually, it's today so I think it's okay to spill the beans here. This is the layout I did with their kit "Naturals - Queen Anne's Lace:

for full credits, see here: http://digitalfreebies.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/13547/cat/500/ppuser/337.
I actually started this one at my crop this weekend. I didn't get too far...so, here is the finished layout. This is retrodiva's "Passion" kit from Digital Freebies.
full credits here: http://digitalfreebies.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/13522/cat/500/ppuser/337.
And then I did this tonight. I love how this one turned out. As soon as I saw the inspirational piece, I knew what I wanted to do. Here is the inspiration:
So, this is the layout I did:
Isn't Paxtin cute! I can't believe he was really that small...he's growing up way to fast!
The full credits are here: http://www.jenwilsondesigns.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=436&cat=500&ppuser=22.
This is the layout I did at the crop this past weekend. I figure I spent like 13 hours on it. I had a hard time getting started, plus I talked a lot in the beginning. LOL! This is for Jen Wilson's Meaningful contest. I don't expect to win anything, I just want another excuse to use Jen's stuff! I'm loving her new site. It's forcing me to use her stuff. Usually my focus is on CT kits. So, here it is:
okay, settle for a link, it's not letting upload it.

[I won something!!!]
I'm still in shock! Last night was Jen Wilson's launch of her Meaningful contest. www.jenwilsondesigns.com She was so sweet to give us an add-on pack for her latest kit (the one we'll be using for the contest). We got the details of the contest and then she throws this at us...she challenged us to create a blinkie using her site initials JWD and to post it in an hour. So, I went to work right away. The first thing that came to my head was Just Digi. I think went to town with W words and nothing sounded right...until I decided I could put the word for the W upside down! I added "meaningful". Perfect. :) I made it with seconds to spare and here it is:

I think Blogger is distorting it a little when I upload it. But, you get the picture. :) Anyway, I was one of 3 winners. What did we win? The rest of the "Meaningful" series! YIPPPEEEE!
I've got a busy day today. I need to go get my Mom's birthday present, finish the laundry I started, fix a brocolli/cauliflower salad for my crop tonight, take a shower, feed the kids (check - just did that), get my meds refilled, pack for my crop (which takes about 2 seconds heee heee heeee) oh and get some food for our little cookout for Mom's birthday. I think that's about it. Doesn't sound like a lot but I need to do it all NOW. I'm cropping tonight and all day tomorrow! I think the grocery store will have to wait until tomorrow or after I get done cropping tonight (thank God for our Super Walmart). So, look forward to some new pages. I am...I've been so slow latey.

[New LO]
I did this for a challenge at Jen Wilson's new site. I love the way it turned out! Simple, 'off' just a little and a little big of "Ali" (http://aliedwards.typepad.com/) thrown in! That's what I thought when I added the circle. Have you ever noticed that she almost always has at least ONE circle in each of her layouts? Love it! Oh and I added the star. I forgot to add that on the credits.

[Weigh In]
First let me say that AF decided to visit after 2 years of being on "the shot" so holy cow...I forgot what it feels like to have it! Thank GOD I haven't been eating like crazy. I have wanted chocolate though! But, the sugar free pudding is cutting that out (and OMG have you had the carmel s-f pudding? SOOO GOOOOOD)!
Second, I have to tell you we bought a digital scale. So, now NO guessing what I weigh. LOL! I didn't do any adjusting to my weight so, I 'only' lost .4 lbs this week. David is going to weigh tonight and see if it's 'off for him'. Seriously, I can't tell because you can see the 'tick' marks on the old scale!
[The countdown is ON...]
Two more days until Anakin starts school!

[Inspiration]
Two things:
1. Visit Jen Wilson's new site...amazing! www.jenwilsondesigns.com.
2. Visit this blog http://soundsofscience.blogspot.com/2006/08/why.html. Holy cow...I'm lovin' her style. She's a paper scrapper...I'll forgive her for that. LOL! Makes me wonder how my paper scrapping would have evolved had I seen her work before I found digi. I didn't like this style before I found digi! I've grown for sure. :)

[Sad]
Not sure how much I am suppose to say...so, I'll just say that I'm sad. I won't be on Amy Tanabe's kit crew any longer. :(
I'm sad that Kim Christensen is leaving SBB and going to ScrapArtist. I should explain that I'm not sad that she's going there, I think it's awesome for her! I love her designs...in fact, with the release of her RAD CD, I think she's my favorite boy designer right now. I emailed her a few days ago asking if I was "fired" from her Creative Team. I haven't heard from her. I know she's super busy, but it would be nice to know since ScrapArtist has their own team...I'm probably not really needed now. So, I'm bummed.
I'm also a little sad that I haven't heard back from Jen Wilson. I can forgive my favorite designers though...I know they are so busy. The little work I've done for retrodiva/Digital Freebies, I know it takes a ton of work to run a website! Answering emails and problems is probably one of the heftiest of chores. Anyway, I really would like to participate in Jen's contest starting on the 19th. I emailed her to see if I would be able to. You see, I do have a "guest spot" with Jen. That was like in what? April? I honestly don't remember anymore! I'm sad that nothing has happened with it because she rocks and I love all her stuff...I have almost all of it...and I want all of the future stuff. Honestly, my favorite layouts have been my layouts I have done for contests and it's with her stuff! I'm rambling... I just want to know.
A. Will it ever be? (the guest spot, that is)
B. If not, can I participate in the contest?
That's it. Okay, I'm done whining. ;) So, here's some good news!
[TOOT!!! I won, I won!]
Last Saturday the gals (and Mr It, I think they call him) had a bash at Designer Digitals. All day chats/challenges. I was there for most of it...at least I tried to be. I popped in and out all day. I particpated in 2 of the challenges. I think the deal was that the designers/CT members that hosted that hours' chat would pick one winner from the galleries for each hour. (Correct me if I'm wrong...anyone!) Now, first I want to say that there were a lot of people at the chats...and only a few that actually did the challenges. I was really kind of surprised since they gave us a ton of freebies. I was kind of compairing it to ScrapArtist's birthday celebration too. They had so much more activity in the galleries. Was it timing? In my lovely little head I think that ScrapArist and DesignerDigitals are two of the best sites! Those two site can ask me anytime to design for them and I'd drop everything (well, almost everything) to do be on their CTs! Of course, I compair myself to C.D....one of my most favorite scrappers and then I think...whatever! I don't deserve it! She RAWKS! Check out her blog here: http://cdmuckosky.blogspot.com/ I do have to add (because I think it's cool) that she has the cutest daughters and they all have cool, unique names AND they are 7, 4 and 2. My boys are almost 7, 4 and 2. Too funny!
Wow, I'm long winded tonight. Can you tell I don't want to scrap? I'm just scrapped out today.
So, I did this layout: okay, blogger isn't letting my post my pics! So, here's the link to the winning layout:
http://www.designerdigitals.com/ddgallery/showphoto.php?photo=9543&cat=500&ppuser=178
We were suppose to use the free little mini kit that Jackie gave us. I had just happened to have bought the whole kit the night before. :) So, the dotted paper is from the full kit. The rest was from the chat. Apparently, they liked it. I won this kit of Jackie's (which I hadn't bought yet, surprisingly enough!)

[SBB Elements CT Entries]
I finally decided that I was going to enter the "contest" to see if I can get on Scrapbook-bytes Elements Creative Team. With the changes in my CTs, I decided to go for it. I had to ask some questions about this because I had no idea that SBB had a seperate Elements team where a handful (or a few more) of designers make kits...and they have a Creative Team. (Thanks for the help Carrie!)

Pretend this is Monday...I'm a little behind in posting. LOL! I lost another FIVE pounds!!! Bringing my total up to 8 lbs in 2 weeks! I'm so extremely happy. I have a weight blog. If you're interested in following my weight loss journey, please let me know (make sure you give me your email address) and I'll send you a link. It has more info on what I'm doing/eating and weighing.
Sorry this is short, I can't think right now...I'm tired! Later! :)

[I'm a LOSER!!!!!]
After a rough week for starting my weight loss/life change...yes, I cheated a few times and didn't get my water in like I should...and no exercise! I still lost 3lbs! YIPPPEEEE! I guess giving up Coke did it. LOL! I also discovered Sprite Free. Tastes so much like Sprite and doesn't have that nasty after taste that a lot of the diet stuff has.
[My Butt]
It's sad to say that my butt layout has gotten more views that a lot of my really good layouts of the boys at DST! Here it is:

Don't ask me why I started with #25. It's my favorite number...and it was the first thing to come to my head, naturally. So, I've got to find 24 more reasons. I'm sure it won't be hard!
[Tired]
Today was just a strange day! We had a storm come through this morning and knocked our power out for 4 hours. That meant no morning cartoons for the boys...it just threw our schedule (or lack thereof) off even more! So, I set up their favorite hideout behind the love seat with the curtains pulled over the top. I gave Tristin a flashlight and Paxtin had a little play lantern. I should have taken pics. LOL! They played and were semi amused by it being my idea to make the hideout! The lights came back on...along with the TV and the air...LOL...around 11 am, right after I put Paxtin down for an early nap. He was so tired. Tristin got to watch Scooby Doo and I got to organize some digi files. 2 hours later...yes, we watched Scooby and I was on my computer for 2 hours YIKES! Paxtin woke up and we ate a late lunch...got ready to go out...picked Anakin up from his last day of 'day camp' and we went shopping. We went to Kohls and got David 3 pairs of work pants and 2 books. We also went into the mall and picked up Anakin's free cookies from his library book club. As we were walking out, I peeked into a little shop called the "Mole Hole". Now, I don't shop there. They've got a little bit of everything, frames, candles, knicky nacky things that I just don't have the money or space for! But, I saw CROCS...not the ugly ones (sorry, if you have them and think they are cute, I have huge feet and if you put those on my feet...they'd look like Flintstone feet!) but these:
Sorry, I can't figure out how to get the pic off of there! So, there's the link. I'm soooo excited! I got my first pair of Crocs! :)
We came home seconds before David got home and we chilled for a few minutes before I made supper. We actually had breakfast - scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage and toast. Yum. I went easy on the b/s. ;)
Okay, I'm off to bed...later!

[Cirque du Soleil]
WOW!!!!!! David and I just got home from a little trip to Chicago. Actually, David surprised me with this. He planned it through the activities department (from work) so we didn't have to drive and got discounted tickets to boot. I never thought I'd get to see Cirque du Soleil in real life...and I'm feeling a little euphoric right now!

It is now my mission to see the water show in Vegas. I've never wanted to go to Vegas...don't care for gambling and the lifestyle that is Vegas...but, I want to see the show! :)
The boys stayed with my friend Jenny... THANK YOU, Jenny!!!
I don't even know what to say...I'm just happy. You can check out their website here: www.cirquedusoleil.com. If you have the chance to see any of the shows, it is worth every cent you'll pay and more!

[Popularity]
I love Digiscraptalk.com....that's my main gallery now. Let's just get that point across first and foremost. I'm really starting to wonder if I stink or if my layouts just plain stink (I don't think they do). Hardly no one even looks at my layouts. Yes, I am starting to feel a little sorry for myself! I am proud of the things I do and want others to see them and yes, I want praise. I guess I really need to stop posting my layouts at 1-2am!
[Monster House]
I took Anakin to see Monster House tonight. I was totally unprepared for the fact that the movie had a lot to do with an obese woman. I wasn't prepared for Anakin to associate me with the obese woman. He talks a LOT and wanted to talk about the movie afterwards. I won't get into the details, but he basically said, "Oh, like you?" And, I had to answer and say "Yes". I think this is the first time he's really said anything about me being overweight. Giving up Coke one day and the next having to face the facts with my 6 year old. UGH! I want a COKE!!! I think I'll go get a Coke Zero.
[Funny!!!!!!]
Paxtin is 18 months old. He's so in tune with what is going on around him. He's smart. ;) The boys were watching a Scooby Doo Movie (Monsters Unleashed) and Scooby farts. Paxtin laughs and says, "POOPIES"!!! I about fell over! This child could be potty trained! He tells us before he poops, he tells us when he pees (but he calls them both poopies). Oh, he's so cute!
Okay, that's it...I'm going to try to scrap tonight. I don't feel very motivated though. Maybe it's because Jen Wilson's contest is on my mind. I'm not sure if I can particpate...and that would suck because I haven't done anything for her "guest spot". I'll be emailing her, of course.

[Yesterday]
Well, I survived. I had a massive headache in the afternoon which, I think, was a combination headache from swimming for 2 hours in the heat...having my hair too tight on my head AND no caffeine! I didn't eat enough for breakfast and lunch and ended up eating pretzels and some cake (it's gone thank God) again. But, you know what, David and I decided to give each other at least 3 days to get off the caffeine and then we'll worry about not cheating. LOL!
[Saturday's Surprise]
David planned a day for just us! I'm excited and a little nervous. For once, I have no clue what we'll be doing. All I know is that it's a bus trip with David's work. They plan trips and offer them to the employees. I've been on one before...a trip to Chicago to shop. It was fun. So, I'm looking forward to going, not really looking forward to the bus! LOL!
[Laundry & The rest of my day!]
Wednesday is laundry day for me...every day should be...so, I'm off to do laundry. I'm going to try to stay off the computer today (only on when the boys nap). I need to spend some time with them too! :)
Have a great day! :)
