I spent the day in the scraproom

I have several projects in various stages of completion. I decided to get in a halloween kind of mood for two reasons. First, I saw Basic Grey's new Halloween line, Eerie. Oh.My.Goodness. They outdid themselves. I cannot wait to get my grubbies on this line!

Secondly, my mommy got this for me:

It's already hanging up outside my door, along with the skeleton above my scraproom window who's been hanging out since last year, lol. I'm so getting into Halloween this year.

Anyway, I have a long day tomorrow. More baby daddy drama. Oh well, I'm used to it by now.

G'nite!

Those two weeks just flew by.....

The kids have started back to school and I'm busily emailing every single job I see that I am even remotely qualified for. I haven't gotten any bites yet, but it's only a matter of time right? So anyway, we had a great 4th of July. We were able to watch fireworks from directly below the Nugget. :) And we saw the kids' cousins for a while. They really enjoyed that. :)

They started school on the 7th. It seems like the kiddos have some really good teachers this year too. And they're in classes with all their friends again, so that makes 'em happy. I'm letting them walk to school (despite the snakes, lol) and they seem to be enjoying it. I've been walking with them to get a little exercise in. It's about 2 miles a day, so it helps, right?

Poor Nate has missed 2 days of school already. :( He woke up early Thursday morning with incredible abdomen pain. We went to the doctor and found out he has/had an obstruction in his intestine. So he was given some medicine and we thought he'd just pass it. But Saturday, he had to go to the ER. He had a fever and was in pain like I've never seen. He had to be given fluids via IV, as well as pain meds. He was very good for his CT scan and other tests. Mama was a wreck however. (My mother says I need to sit all my kids down and tell them that they are not allowed to have any more hospital visits because Mom cannot handle it.) He's finally getting better and starting to act like his normal mischievous self again.

I'm going to go grab some popcorn and watch my DVR'd shows I need to catch up on. "Royal Pains", "Burn Notice", and "In Plain Sight" are just three of them. OOHH, I almost forgot "Ghost Hunters"! What a great way to kill some time tonight. :)

G'nite!

I picked up the scraproom today

And you cannot see the tabletop. However everything is out of the bags and off the floor. That in itself is an accomplishment. And tomorrow, I am going with my mother to Sacramento to go shopping. *sigh* At least I'm making a stop at Green Tangerines. :) And Chick fil a....mmm.....chicken nuggets. he he..... I am going to Joanns and Toys R Us and perhaps a side jaunt to the outlets in Folsom. I dunno. After cleaning up I am not feeling a shopping trip. I think this will definately be my last until mid -October when we go to the Scrapbook Expo. It's all good though.

Nothing to big and bad has been going on in my world as of late. Just hanging with the kids and cleaning house. I am reading "The Breathern" by John Grisham. I'm halfway through it, and so far, so good. I'll probably finish it this weekend.

Next monday the spawn go back to school. They all passed and have moved on to the next grade and I have earned another 3 dozen grey hairs. And now we get to start it all over. The plus side is my days will be free to job search. I'm really hoping that I don't have to do a whole lot more temp work. Seriously. I just don't like it. Sure it pays the bills, but just when I'm getting good at it, I'm gone, lol.

Alrighty, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is Spawn #1's birthday. And we have to get up early to make that drive over the hill. I guess I better figure out something to do for cake tomorrow. Hmmm....Hostess cupcakes from 7-11? That'll work. :)

G'nite all!
