It's going to be a long day...

I've been up for two hours already - and it's only 5:23 am.

Crazy.

  • There's no way I can form paragraphs on this amount of sleep, so bear with me.
  • Three weeks left before school's out. Count 'em. Three.
  • K. starts a unit on rockets today and is out of his mind excited. Whoever decided to put rockets into the hands of fifth grade boys had to have been nuts. Somebody is sure to put an eye out.
  • Going to a scrapbooking retreat this weekend. Meeting my Mom and friend Jan there. Been assembling pictures and paper and embellishments like a crazy woman. Laid in bed thinking about pictures and paper and embellishments. Couldn't sleep because of pictures and paper and embellishments. Crazy, people.
  • I really want someone who would come to my house twice a week and clean the floors. That's all. Just the floors.
  • Finally finished cleaning out S.'s drawers. Know what was in there making it impossible for her to find anything? Mountains of dirty clothes. I'm still washing. Naughty girl.
  • We had a lovely Memorial Day. The kids all had sleep-overs, so everyone was a little cranky around 4:00 from being up too late, but other than that, we had a quiet day at home with lots of sunshine and barbequed ribs.

How 'bout you?

Happy Tuesday, friends.

    Hey Cathy....I was just asking Dee yesterday if you were going crazy getting layouts ready and organized for the crop. Why do I let these things go till the last minute? And why did I say last month that I could work till 1 am, wake up after 3 hours sleep and go BACK to the hospital for 5 hours of meetings today on my only day off before Leavenworth! Who schedules meetings to start at 7am?!!! What was I THINKING?!!! (My personal world view is that "If God had wanted me to see the sunrise, He would have scheduled it later in the day." Looking forward so much to this weekend. I might just get to the point where I throw a ton of paper in my tote with a huge stack of pictures and call it good to go! See ya soon....

    Here's a pointer about floor cleaning since I learned this the hard way today: Don't use pledge on hardwood floor entry ways because walking in socks may cause you to slip and fall right on your knee cap. Ouch.

    Wow, I woke up at 5 am today with embellishments, pictures, ribbons etc on my brain too Are we addicted or what !
    I think I am ready to go but would like to turn out a couple of contest layouts yet. I am doing one on "my" American idol. You will have to wait to see who that is. Any guesses? He wasn't on the show....
    Now I have to get the RV ready. This is our first trip out this year so we washed the whole thing outside yesterday. Then I washed all the linens, dishes, restocking food etc besides trying to allow some extra room for some crop supplies. I think it is about ready to go as soon as I finish up some of the prep work for meals.
    See you soon
    Love you

    Imagine floors with a 14 month old who throws food on the floor. I need someone to clean my floors 3 times a day. LOL!
    Isn't funny, the stuff that keeps us up at night? I can just see an ad on tv: Embellishments keeping you up at night? Hee hee.
    Happy Tuesday to you too :)

    Have fun this weekend. Had to laugh at your daughters' drawers - Kez has done that a couple times too and I thought maybe she needed to see someone about that(like a psychologist). I never did that as a kid - I leave ALL my dirty clothes on the floor. Only lately have I realized this, since the dog LOVES to chew dirty underwear....eeeewwwwhhh. Don't think about it too long, it is really disgusting.
    I am jealous about your creative weekend doing girl stuff - wish it was me...have a great time.

    A whole weekend of scrapping? SO! JEALOUS!

    I often stay up at night thinking of embellishments, layouts, etc., too. Maybe we should start our own self-help group. We'll call it SA. Scrappers Anonymous.

    "Hi, my name is Talena, and I haven't done a layout in 2 days..."

    Hi Cathy,
    I'm jealous too of the scrapbooking fun! I started my very first scrapbook yesterday (5/30) and am hooked! My husband made the mistake of getting me premium photo paper. I finally dug out the baby's blank scrapbook and embellishments (a shower gift) and started using my software for some as well. My massage table is now a scrapbook workbench since it's really "my husband's office".
    Don't even want to talk about laundry.... Giorgio has grown out of all his newbies and 6 months stuff so I packed it up and found an old co-worker who just had a baby boy! Oh!! the postage that's gonna cost me.
    !!!RIBS!!! Did I tell you that's my favorite, especially off the grill?? yummmmy! Wish we were neighbors! Speaking of neighbors and food......
    Giovanni has made friends with every child that lives on our street. I thought that was what I wanted - but now.... I just wish he would stay home and watch star wars instead of me trying to chase him down and tell him to quit inviting the world over for dinner. ooohhh the joy of boys.

I love it when people talk back...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
