{Sit-Around Saturday}

So, our prompt for Saturdays are the everyday things around the house or in your life.

Today, it has been a lazy Saturday.  I slept late, thank you Heath! And, after Heath took H to baseball tryouts, I did a Speed Scrap at SM...here is my page:

I'm working on a book for M and my cousin's daughter from our trip to American Girl Place in Dallas last summer. Fun times!?!? Then after surfing a bit on the net, I did my project for the weekend for my Mouse, Paper, Scissors hybrid class at JessicaSprague.com. We've been doing observations. (See Thursday's post) And, this is my observation notebook.

Isn't it cute!?!? Thank you Heidi Swapp for the cute design!?!?

Tonight we go to a watch party of Baylor folks in Albuquerque! Hope we get to watch them win!?!? Sic 'em Bears!  Gotta get dressed now!?!?

{Thoughtful Thursday}

I rarely have deep thoughts-i'm not philosophical. In college, Vanessa and I used to leave Deep Thought messages on our answering machine...my favorite:
Why do they call him a cowboy when he rides a horse?

I am taking Mouse, Paper, Scissors class at JessicaSprague.com. I'm enjoying it so far.  We are doing observations of our lives. Here are a few that I have this week:

Day1
When I am stressed or having a bad day, I'm much harder on my kids
Teaching selfless behavior probably requires modelling.
I find comfort in just the idea of being creative.
H has an intuition when I've had a hard day--he always comes to snuggle.
There are few bad days that a Disney movie can't fix!

Day 2
My day goes much better when I have a to do list. A list for everything I need at every place I go. I'm a list girl.

Day 3
I have best friends and good friends, but as I thought about my relationship with each of these awesome ladies, I realized, I'm still only a part of myself with each of these persons. I tend to leave out one part of myself with each of them...different parts with each of them. I am truly only my whole and complete "self" with my husband, Heath. He IS the love of my life, my best friend.

{Wacky Wednesday}

Like I said in my previous post...we've started an Extended Blog Challenge, with a general prompt for every day of the week! Plus, I am providing 5 prompts that can be used at any time during the month.

Since today is Wednesday, the prompt is "Wacky Wednesday."  I'm kinda of out of brainpower today to think of something wacky, silly, or funny, so I just found a couple of pictures that fit the bill.

The first is of M. We just finished eating at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary resort. And, she was playing around, being silly...and I snapped this shot.

And this next one was of M and I sledding at the beginning of the month. At the end of the hill, we both fell off the sled, H captured it best he could on film.

Did I really do it!?!?

Did I really do 30 straight days of blogging!?!? I can't believe it. I've really enjoyed it!

I'm setting up a new blog challenge at ScrapMatters. Go HERE to read about it, and join us!!!

I'll hopefully start it tomorrow!

Have a wonderful night (unless it's daytime where you are...then have a great day!)

Day 30-a picture

A picture...from this weekend...i ran 2 actions from My Four Hens on this...1st Delicate Color and then Chocolate Sprinkles I think...

Day 29-3 Wishes

Three wishes...
1. I wish someone would come to my house every day and clean it, plus do my laundry. (yes I'm trivial.)
2. I wish that everyone I love would have no pain, no illness, and I could see them any time I wanted.
3. I wish for world peace because I cannot think of anything else to wish for.

Why was this prompt one of the hardest for me? I think maybe because I don't "wish" much...except for someone else to do the dishes! ;)

Day 28-Something that stresses you out

I'm a stress-er, I can't help it...I come from a long line of stress-ers. Although my mom doesn't think she is....but she is. :) Love you mom.

Let's see what am I stressed about today...
1. M woke up 4 times last night...more than she did when she was a baby. She doesn't have a cold or isn't running fever. Her Daddy Doc thinks it's allergies and made her go to ski school. I'm stressing that she really is getting sick and we sent her out in freezing temps and snow. Now I'm stressing that i'm a bad mom. (but, I'm enjoying the time without her so I can blog and scrap!) Oh I really am a bad mom!
2. I'm stressing that I'll forget to post a new challenge in the SM forum tomorrow...it's pitiful really.
3. I'm stressing I haven't eaten healthy enough this weekend and have gained a pound or two back!

In general, I will always stress out about
1. money...if we have enough, if we are spending too much, how much more should we hold back for taxes, etc.
2. are we messing up our kids? We are doing the best job we can or know how to do...we love our kiddos more than life itself, but PLEASE let us not mess them up too badly!
3. what I am doing with my life. I love education, but am not doing much with it right now...I want to write curriculum, but no freelance jobs are out there. Am I doing enough as a person to contribute to society?

See, those are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head...I stress about everything...I guess that's why i need to lose weight...I'm a stress eater...oh jeez, I have issues!!
