2 Months

I can't believe it's been two months that I've been doing the Project 365. I have managed to take at least one photo each day. It's been a lot easier than I thought.

A Mess

My plans changed for today. I started the day by sitting at the dealership for two hours to check out the van. I was suppose to scrap with a friend, but she had some important stuff to get together. Which I know was just as much a bummer for her as it was for me. Hopefully next week will go better. I grabbed Subway for lunch and came home. I wasn't going to scrap, but since I had everything together I decided to try. I did get 3 pages done today. And made a mess of the dining room table. And I watched movies too. So hopefully I will get more done tomorrow or this weekend.

Holy Moly

I think my ballet teacher had an extra coffee or something this morning. She worked us so hard. All the muscles in my body are going to hurt tonight. And somehow I got roped into performing in May. Don't ask and now regretting saying yes. She wants us to come back tonight for a full class and practice afterwards. My friend said she was going and somehow I said yes again. What is wrong with me? The only good thing is the extra calories I'll be burning today. lol

Over

I am so glad Monday is over. For some reason I feel that if I can make it through the day, then the week is doable. This morning I went on a field trip with Victoria. We saw Pippi Longstocking which was super cute. But also very loud. I wish I could say it's because I'm getting older. lol But I had 12 years shaved off my age today. A friend and I were mistaken for high schoolers & we were told to hurry and get a late pass and get to class. So even though I have many white hairs, I can still be 18 again. lol Then of course after school ran around with kids' activities. And I also taught at gymnastics. Mondays are just very busy and crazy and I'm ready to drop by the end of the night. At least it's over and can think about the rest of the week.

More

The kids actually let me get some scrapping in today. It was so nice that they spent a good amount of time outside. I got a baby album done for a friend. It feels so good to have that done. Now to buy an album and deliver that this week. And I still had one more kit to finish up from Thursday's scrapping. So that page is done.

Scrappin

For once I actually planned ahead and made up some page kits. Now if only I get to her house right after dropping the kids off at school. Oh well, one step at a time. I got 5 pages done which I am happy about.

Cleaning & Clutter

I feel like it doesn't matter how much I clean because there is still clutter everywhere. And most of it is kids stuff. I don't mind if they have toys and books upstairs. But I would like my downstairs to be clean. I want to feel calm and peace. So not happening with three kids. The only evidence of kids I would like to see downstairs are photos on the wall. lol But that would entail picking up like 24/7 and I would get nothing else done.

Gross

While in NM, grandpa took the kids to get candy. He let them get whatever they wanted as long as they could carry it. They each came back with a small paperbag filled to the brim. He just went to the gas station. It's funny because they picked all the stuff we tell them no. lol So I'm sitting here watching them eat it and it's grossing me out. Hubby was going to tell them something, but I told him that is part of being a grandpa and if he wants to buy them that then it's fine with me. We just make sure they don't eat it all in one day.

laptop

We went to NM this weekend. We took the laptop thinking we would actually get online. So my photos should have been of me walking around trying to get a signal. lol We never did find one or one that was strong enough. Oh well.

Holy Moly

There must be something in the air today. I am so ready to hop on the next plane out of AZ! Victoria had private gymnastics lesson today. It was only an hour and I thought that between homework and just hanging out the other two would be fine. What was I thinking? Gabriel was fine, did his homework and then bussied himself with stuff. Lillian on the other hand just could not contain her nautiness. She did ok with her homework till the end. Then she just lost it. The child couldn't even write her name correctly. I made her do it over 3 times which resulted in a total meltdown. And then she was spanked and we all had to sit in the van. I had radio drama for Gabriel to listen to so he was fine. And I had a book.

Next was Victoria. We got home and she did homework. Where I saw that she missed points the last two days which means she didn't finish her in class work. And then she started doing homework and is now acting like she has no idea about her math homework. Pretty impressive since it's a review and two days ago she breezed right through the same exact problems.

I still have laundry to finish, kitchen to clean, upstairs to tackle. Oh and let's not forget all the tax paperwork that I must organize and have numbers all ready to give to our tax guy Saturday. Oh and wait, we also have Valentines stuff to work on for kids' classes tomorrow.

Need Help

I have no idea how to get it in my kids' heads to help keep their rooms clean. This is the girls' room and Gabriel's room doesn't look much different. Their bathroom and hallway look about the same too. It's mainly clothes and some toys. But seriously, I have been showing them how to pick up toys since Gabriel was 9 months old. That's like 8 years and nothing has stuck. I am so tired of picking up their messes, but don't know how to make them realize this.

1st Point

Gabriel had his basketball game tonight. He made his first point during the game!! And do you think I had my camera??? Of course not. lol

Hearts

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, we always end up with candy in our house. And the one that I cannot turn down are those cute, tiny conversation hearts!!!I love chocolate, but I'll take a bag of hearts any day. lol

Ugh

We've had a lot of stress in the last two weeks. I feel so sick in my stomach from all that is going on. Hopefully this is the last and we can heal and move on from it all. All day long how I wish I could just be 5 yrs old again and not be a grown-up.

Weather

The weather has cooled off again and we woke up to snow on the mtns. I meant to get out all day and take a photo. Of course by the time I was able to, the clouds had come in again. So maybe tomorrow I will get a better photo.

What A Steal!!

My friend sent me a text that there are some Cricut cartridges on clearance at Wal-Mart. So I ran over there and found one I had to have. It's a basketball one which is perfect since Gabriel is playing this season! I am forever grateful to her for letting me know!!!

Last One

I got 4 pages done tonight!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am. And I finished off the pics I had on my desk.

More

I have been working on some more pages tonight. Here is one of them.

Weight Loss Update

Well I lost nothing this week. Oh well, I'm not too surprised. Didn't hardly exercise at all and my eating wasn't great either. Hopefully better next week.

I cannot believe that I actually got some pages done. I have 4 finished from this weekend, mainly Sunday. I still have tons to do, but I still have photos on my desk and hopefully will get more done each day!
