Parenting ~ doesn't get easier does it?

I had an IAT meeting for Nik today. He is taking responsibility for his actions much better now... the competitiveness is still going strong ... now we need him to SLOW DOWN !!! He rushes with is work and rushes with reading and makes silly mistakes that if he paid attention he would not. So I have a few things in mind to slow him down and get him to focus a bit more I hope.

I guess Gracie just spoiled me I told her she needs to focus and do well and she does. How easy is that? Then I have Nik... LOL I guess a challenge is always good

No School !

With this winter storm moving through we just cancelled today ~ yay !! I know we have days to make up but I'd much rather drive them to school in the heat in June than some of these dangerous snowy/icey roads !!! Now I'm going to go lay down I get another day to rest from my lumbar block on Wed.

Have a wonderful day everyone !!

Well it has been awhile ....

Last year was not a good year for the most part. My Dad was sick and in and out of the hospital and much to my dismay died at the beginning of December. To say I am ok is not even close. I still cannot believe it and miss him so very much. Everyone says in time it gets better but I just am not seeing it right now..
I have been feeling a real need to start scrapping again ~ it's more important to me now than ever to save these memories for my kids for the future.
Yet another storm going through here... up to 10" of snow in the next 12 hours?? Really we haven't had enough already???? GRRRRR
Just waiting to see if I need to go fire up the bus. Or if I get to lay back down and sleep???

Ever seen a smiling goat?

I have one... My Miss Scarlett has an underbite so it looks like she is smiling when I look at her !!!!

Granny's Farm Scrapkit was used for this layout created by Charlie's Digiscraps available at DSO

Introducing my goats...

Really my goats are my pets... I started with Zach and Daniel and then added Scarlett and Scooter later... and they are so much fun :)

Gracie starts volleyball games this week .. 2 each week til Thanksgiving.She was moved up to the 6th grade team ... quite an accomplishment. Nik has Tiger Scouts this week and I'll be doing a trip with the band to the last football game on Friday I sure hope it doesn't get too cold by then !!

Ok so here is my layout using Granny's Farm by Charlie's Digiscraps available at DSO



Aren't they so cute !!

It HAS to warm up...

Last week was soooooo cold and I'm so not a cold weather person :) Oh well it is supposed to get up into the 60's at least a couple days this week that is better than the 40's !!!

While I've been holed up inside the house keeping warm I have been doing layouts... these two are from LP and 3 Dogs Designs at DSO ~ Dream Project
