Whew! That's over!

Last week was hectic. I got laid off again on Friday, but I knew that was coming. Saturday was Lizzie's birthday party and two parties from classmates of Nate & Allies. I had 3 kids' parties from 10 am to 5pm. That was exhausting!

Yesterday was kid's last day of school. They had a great time at the BBQ. Of course, they go back in two weeks, lol. (Gotta love track schools!) So we got the traditional pictures with the teachers.

So now, we're spending two weeks just hanging out at home with a little stuff thrown in. Movies, Wild Island, maybe even a trip to the Monterey Aquarium and the beach. Shh, don't tell them though. :) I'd take them camping, but I don't have a tent. Maybe I'll get one of my friends to let me borrow theirs. I should look into geocaching. I bet they'd like that. :)

So in my last post I was jonesing for my newest kit from MyGreenTangerines.com. Guess what finally came last week? he he....

Doesn't this just look like summer? I cannot wait to print out the pictures from Lizzie's birthday party. That or use pics from the upcoming two weeks.

Alrighty, I'm gonna park the laptop and get busy in my room. I have a ton of stuff to put away and I have some stuff I want to sell on 2Peas. Until next time....

Well, there goes the weekend....

I spent the weekend at home, not doing too much, except trying to clean during the hurricane. Why oh why do I continuously torture myself by thinking that while my kids live here I can somehow have a clean home? Yesterday it was rainy icky again, so we didn't do much. Although, the little kids' room is MOMMY CLEAN. Yup. I spent hours in there directing traffic so to speak, but they cleaned it. Today was laundry, dishes etc.... with a little bit of babysitting thrown in.

I did manage to finish my book, The Lace Reader, this afternoon. It was really good. I read it pretty fast and it held my attention. I'd recommend it if you want a good summer read. Now I need to find something new to read. Any thoughts? Hopefully I will have some time to read this week.

I'm still anxiously awaiting my May kit from Green Tangerines. *sigh*..... I really, really want it. I thought they were going out two weeks ago, but I haven't gotten anything. They haven't charged my bank account either so, I guess I'm just waiting. {insert the sound of my fingers tapping my desk} While I'm waiting I'm going to go through my scrap stash and selling some stuff on 2Peas. I've got wwaaaayyyyyy more than I'll ever use in this lifetime. It's a sickness I think because even though I have entirely too much I have stuff in carts on about 3 different online stores. And I'm planning a trip to Sactown for GT and a bigger, badder Joann's. I think a straight jacket might be in order.

Anyway, I'm gonna get to bed. I have to work tomorrow and the girls have their class fieldtrips to the waterpark. That'll be fun for them. I don't remember doing such cool things when I was in school. I wish they could take a camera with them. I'd love to see those pictures. Maybe I can get pics from the teachers. Gotta put that on my list o' things to do. That and buy milk and bread.

G'nite!! :)

Bizzee, Bizzee, Bizzee.....

That's my mantra for today, lol. And yesterday. And last week. I'm not sure where the time has gone, but it's *poofed* away. I've been working, we've had illness in the castle, and I'm trying to get my Stampin' Up business off the ground.

Tonight, we finished Liz's birthday party invites. She is having a Beach Monkey Luau, can you tell?

She loved putting these together. Big props to Judy for the die cuts. She's on eBay, but temporarily closing her store. I'll let you know when she's back. :)

So I've been reading the Lace Reader. It's pretty good and I'm enjoying it. I'm just getting to the "meat" of the story, so I'm anxious for the weekend so I can read without interruption. I finished The Host, another story by Twilight author Stephanie Meyer. It was, um..... long. I'm gonna go with long. The concept was interesting, but it was wordy. It never takes me long to read a book but I was reading that one for.ev.er.

Now, I have to confess my girl crush. My heart goes pitter patter over Tori. Yup. Tori Spelling. I've probably already admitted my little crush, but with the new season of Tori & Dean, I'm smitten again. Not in a wanna tear her pants of kind of way, but in a we could TOTALLY be friends kinda way. I could totally see myself scrappin' with her, just hanging out talking babies. Yesterday, I listened to her new book "Mommywood" while I was at work. She's so stinkin' cute and funny. There is just *something* about her.

Alright, so tomorrow is Thursday, then comes Friday. Whoo-hoo! The kids want to go see UP on Saturday, so I might indulge them. Maybe. ;) I want to do something special, but I haven't decided on exactly what. Movies, ice cream and who knows what. We were supposed to go to Wild Island, but the weather is iffy, so we'll wait on that.

Alrighty, I'm gonna go read a little and hit the hay. G'nite for now.
