Circus Fun
The kiddos had never been to a circus but at the end of the school year a smal one came into town and I had no kids so...I took al three of them and they had a bast!
Summer Fun
Well, it's officially summer again! We finally got all the pools pulled out and bought some new ones for the kiddos. They love everything from the sprinkers to the pools. We bought two 10x6 ft pools for the kiddos to share, some sprinker things, a large round pool for the older kiddos, and thens ome other fun things! They love it a and it keep them occupied forever! Sure beats a t.v.
Some of my Latest Creations
Here are a few pages I have completed lately! Enjoy
Above is the cover to a paperbag abum I have been working on for a customer! I normally hate working with reds...but this is for a teens graduation and I think its turing out well!
Above is a layout of my son. Rather simple but I had fun with this one!
Above is a layout I created as a challenge for one of my groups. The halenge was to use packaging materials on a layout. I used cardboard stripped, masking tape and electrical tape. I also used more than 3 pattern papers which was another chalenge.
Above is a layout created for yet another challenge on my group of using a sketch and embellishming fowers. Youc an't see it but many flowers have pearls and rhinestones and gitter on them, the pink ribbon sike strips are painted masking tape and the heart was created with scrapers floss dipped in paint and then shaped to dry on wax paper.
Above is a ayout created trying to use up basic grey papers! Many used from diff. lines.

Just Take A Deep Breath
- Whne you find out a child let a toy fish go swimming in the toilet...take another breath when youg e tthe bill from the plumber for having to remove the toilet to fish out the fish after it's clogging the toilet cause a huge flood.
- When 2 toddlers decide to see hwo many flushes and full rolls of toilet paper they can flush at once...cause a flood...and then leaking thorugh the floor to your lower level ceilings.
- When you have someone else's kid ook at you and say "hi stupid slut!" not in a rude way but in a perfectly funa nd delightful way.
-When a long time parent of over a year all of a sudden quits beinging their chid to your daycare...even after you gave them 14 free weeks because they were laid off....take another breath when they don't ever make an attempt to pay you or speak to you...then take another breath before telling your daughter why her best friend of all time no longer comes to see her.
- When you need a good release and he's the only one who gets one!!!
- When you waxed your legs with no pain or problem at all...you made it through a natural chidbirth and then decide to wax your private areas...how bad can it hurt..AHHHHHHHH ok take a big scream for this!!!
- When you feel as though there's two people in the house and yet...your the only one listening to the fighting and screaming and fighting between children.
-When you put on make-up for the first time in a few weeks during the day for no reason at all...and another parent says.."wow, I didn't know...umm wow, you wear make-up." as though they are dumb founded that you can wear it or something.
- When for the ump tenth time someone questions whether or not your children are yours because of how young you look.
-When the only adult peple you tak to in a day are those you chat with on-line and you wonder...is this healthy.
- When you just cleaned a room and before you make it to the next....it's trashed with toys and things the baby will put into their mouth.
- When a child wakes up in a bad mood and no matter what you do they won't come out of it...
- When it's your turn to mow the lawn and you spent 4 hrs with the push mower...then when its the hubbys turn he calls a friend for the riding mower.
- When the newest thing you have bought yoursef is cleaners for the house...heck they do make your job slightly easier.
- When you have to rack your brain for a week trying to decide what you and your kids can do away from the hom for 3 hrs while you bomb your house...and come up with nothing better than the park that you want to risk doing at that hour of the day.
Hmm so thats all for now....Note: all of these events happened within the last week!!! hahahaha

The Things I Live Through- Chapter 3
So, the ast 36 hrs have been jam packed with drama! Everyone loves a ittle crisis right? Ha Ha So, here's the news to share...picture ook much better than actual children....lol
Desi took a leap of faith yesterday...not sure if she was pushed (by my darling younger son who happened to put the ladder up there after it was taken down) or jumped...but she took a leap....from the top bunk of her brothers bed, into a ceiing fan spinning on high and to the floor head first!... A trip to the ER, a few shots injected into the wounds to numb then and she got stitches- then by the time the made it to her head...they didn't test it for numbness....and just shot the first staple in...well.....she wasn't still numb...as she leaped from the table screaming in pain...then the numbed her again......and put the other staple in! She has a concusion...
The poor child spent 4 hrs in the ER getting stapled and stitched and cleaned and X-rayed. She's my hero...not a singe tear after the initial scare wore off! Her hair looks pink from the blood...
And you'l never guess where I was just about 12 hrs earlier. I was in a nother ER with my youngest son....lol...for illness reason.....hahaha I got home and told me son...I'm heading out to the store to pick up some feel better sit still gifts...lol...I'll get you one...if you promise not to hurt yourself within the next 24 hrs...hahahahah
What a strong girl!!!
Just another thing I managed to live through yet again. Funny thing is 4 generations of my famiy all have scars on the left side of the temple in that same spot...three of which came from bunk beds...hahahah just gotta laugh!

Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut
Hmmm a somewhat unmotivating title but what can I say...it is what it is.....
I have spent the last week fighting off the cold I was sure I could beat. My darling son had it and was so generous enough to give it to me. Thank you Landyn! Mommy just loves to carry the bug herself. Normally I am just as unwelcoming to a cold as the next mom...but this week...it seems I breathed on the hubby while he was seeping and he happened to get a min-cold- about 24 hrs to be exact.
I never get sick...and when I do...I medicated from the very first sign of anyone becoming sick...this normally ensures I don't get sick....oww and for the critics out there...I don't medicate my chidren uness the need it or I'm sure they are coming down with it....so there! lol
Anyway, I began medicating last week....I've had awesme days to where I feel great and almost back to normal...and I'm sure I'm guilty of doing what every other mom does...you fee better...alitte or alot...so you book it getting things done that have been neglected or not done to your standards while you weren't feelings well. Well, my re-coup cleaning was awesome!!! Better than my normal cleaning....I'm not sure f its just because I got the bug o clean or...if I was hyped up on musinex and just on a spreee....but I was a cleaning, decluttering machine...my house still looks great!!!!!
But..............................
that night I felt worse than ever.....eveeryone always says that if you feel good you should still rest till its all gone...but come on...i have 3 children....and 10-12 day tme preschool kids and then at least an additional 3 kids per night with my children...so if things get behind....owwww they are way behind...and wiht the hubby feeling ill for about 2 days...you can only imagine!
So, like I said before normally a cold is never welcome but this week in particular it was despised!!!! This will be the first week in about 9 months that I will actuay have off...thur-sun nights and saturday and sunday...I was soo excited!!! My birthday is on Monday!!! Gouing to be 1/4 a centry old!!!! YEA for me!!!! and I actually made plans for Friday night! Go figure seeems like this happens with everyone...you make plan and the wrold around you says...."ahhhh NO" So, I have canceled my plans...I'm sure I coud go out and have fun but if the headache follows me thats not fun and well I'd like to be able to have a gass of wine at least...and I don't drink when sick!
So, I sit here ***cough ***cough ***cough..........arrrrrrrrrrrrr
None the less my home looks wonderful!!! I even have begun gathering items for a city wide garrage sale next week!!! I have all of my daycare kids setting up their things here...so as to attract more people...so I'm excited abotu that....I'm also going to be offering about 40 items I have paper craftered for sale.....so I'm excited and skeptical to see how it goes!!!
Well, thats all for now!! tah tah
