One day left
I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of school. How did that happen?
Today started out weird.
Kyra has semester tests, so we got up extra early and got starbucks.
Then Kirby woke up really sick with a sore throat and fever so he's home.
I have Will today (for the last time??) and I have to pick up Kyra at 12:30.
I guess we won't be going out to lunch like we planned. That might have to wait until tomorrow.
I found out that they are turning my local Ruby Tuesday into a freaking IHOP in a month. All those yummy vegetables and now chocolate chip pancakes?? Grrrrrrr... Kyra told me last night that she's going to think the official name is "Freaking IHOP" because that's all I've called it since I found out.
Did you see that the Gallery Standouts Blog is back up and running? If you scrapbook, or just like looking at great LO's this is the blog to have in your blog reader.
I opened up photoshop to design some papers. We'll see how that goes, since everytime I open something up I take a detour to play Bejeweled Blitz. That game is worse than crack.
Does anyone want to come over and do some gardening? I did some work Monday night and my hamstrings are still killing me. I have so much grass and weed trees in my flower beds. I'd love to dig them up and start over. I also want to try my hand at square foot gardening and plant some veggies. I was drooling over the seedlings coming up in this one.
bits and bobbles
lots of randomness:
-made that margarita cake last night, had to ask Kyra's boyfriend to bring me a 1/2 cup of sugar, forgot to add the oil, everyone liked it.
-Mother's day was nice. Went to Fudruckers for a very late lunch/early supper. Looked at puppies at Minicritters, went to Sam's and got my mother's day present, it's a point and shoot that has a manual mode!

-Will is on super duper laxitives from the doctor. I got to experience the benefits this morning, half hour after he got here. Can you say bath at Amy's house?
-Went and got the weeks worth of groceries. How in the heck it came to $115 is beyond me! I thought I was doing good!
-I've been on the treadmill almost daily for a week. Such a difference in my energy level. You know Newton's law? An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acting on by an unbalanced force. That's where I was...stuck in rest mode for almost a year. First my back and then my broken toe. It took some clothes shopping and some back pain to get me back into motion.
-I'm gearing up to scrap again. Once again, that Newton's law applies. Unless you do it you lose it. And I've lost it. So, I bought new stuff during NSD and I'm writing down stories that I want to scrap. I also found a new outlet that will encourage me to scrap more often. Let's just say that ditching all my creative teams was not the best idea for me.
-Speaking of scrapbooking. I'm not really designing much. I think I lost my mojo or even my desire to make stuff. Are we over saturated with digi supplies at the moment? I think yes.
-This is the last week of school for the kids. So hard to believe...it goes so fast. Kyra has summer school this summer, and I won't have extra kids for the first time in years. It will be interesting to see if I can accomplish anything of substance.
-Baseball season has begun. Kyler had a scrimmage game last Monday and two tournament games on Saturday. I got rained on for 2 out of the 3 games. You would think I could invest in an umbrella? We lucked out this year and we have no double up games between the boys. 4 nights a week we'll be at the ball fields without worrying about who's shuffling who where and when. Nice.
-Ok...off to do 4 more loads of laundry that I neglected over the weekend and to scrub my toilet, because Will said it was nasty. LOL!
Look Mom...I scrapped!
I threw a kit in the store right at the last minute, so knowing the team wouldn't be able to create any layouts, I decided to make one. Shocker, right? I need new photos. Or I just need to break down and scrap some imperfect photos. This was the only photo I had that went with sweet and pink...from 2007!

Here's the kit, I'd give anything to have a baby girl to scrap with this!

Nothing else going on. We got some snow yesterday and more coming today. It was really feeling like spring earlier this week with 56 degree temps. Guess that's gone for awhile. Scott is bringing Hannah and Will over after lunch. Hannah had to be picked up from school with a stomach ache and he has to run an errand so I said I'd watch them. My day doesn't really feel complete without my Will fix! :)
Amy needs...
Ok...I'd heard about this from a couple of sources and then my SIL posted hers on her blog. My mom tried to do it but the first entry was that she needs more orgasms and decided to quit before going any further! LOL! Go to google and type "your name" needs
Here are my top 10 (I'm positive that Amy Winehouse was the subject of many of these...esp. #2)
-Amy needs some helping drinking apparently
-Amy needs gloves to touch herself
-Amy needs to either wake up or start getting some extra will-power
-Amy needs help
-Amy needs to find a home where she can spend her golden years and be a cherished member of the family
-Amy needs a break
-Amy needs her prince
-Amy needs another cocktail before facing police
-Amy needs to contact her phone service and have her number listed so her adoring public may contact her directly and quit bothering me
-Amy needs to remember she’s married to someone
