Wow... I actually did a few minor changes to my blog...

Ok nothing fancy but it's HUGE for me !!! I hope it looks a little more dressed up than it did ...midterms were yesterday... Gracie has all A's and Nik has all A's but needs improvement in his handwriting.. however it took me 15 minutes to read that from the teacher b/c her handwriting is HORRIBLE. So I'm thinking "pot ... kettle... black ??!!??" I mean at least he's 7 what's her excuse??

Ok on to a lighter topic.. finally was able to scrap.. I've been dragging... and running like crazy to the kids activities... and fighting off not feeling the best .. blah ... but this kit Changes created by Loucee Creations as DSO is just full of beautiful rich fall colors... you'll love it.

Here are my layouts using it ....

Really? I don't know how I make it through the week...

My energy is still non existent... It's so aggravating I have so much I need and want to get done but by the time I get home I'm so tired I get supper done and and dishes done.. kids and homework and showers... then I'm ready to pass out for the night..... patience I know patience.

It's been cold and rainy .. my bus broke down so I'm in a spare bus that is just aggravating me to no end... I hope they don't take forever to fix my bus. GRRR. This isn't going to be a good week I can tell. :(

Meanwhile I want to share a couple of layouts from the kids first day of school... it's using a kit called It's Elementary by Created by Jill at DSO

Love this new kit I worked with .. it's so versatile !!

Freshly picked by LouCee Creations .... I did a layout with my daughter and one with my son and there are so many other options !!!

My first week back to work is done.. I did really good up til Thursday.. then I was exhausted.. but I got two trips in there also ... so all in all it was a good week !

A new layout I did this morning

I used LP and 3 Dogs Designs at DSO Bloomin Scrapkit.

My daughter her first time mowing.. and my Mom following patiently behind watching to make sure she was ok !!! She's growing up !

5 More Days til School starts... and some new layouts !

We are 5 short days away from school starting ... I'm excited and bummed at the same time... the summer went by really fast !! But it will be nice to get into the swing of things again.

College football opens their season tomorrow ~ I'm so psyched for it ... can't wait I miss my football !!!!!

Other than trying to get things arranged and in order for school starting not much has been going on I've finally been able to drive my car after 2 weeks of not being able too.. feels like I'm 16 again getting my freedom :) My daughter started her travel softball practice last night ... so we'll have weekly practices with that.... and cheerleading is going down to one practice a week so that will help my life not be so crazy !!!

Ok on to my layouts these were created from the Created by Jill's PU Grab Bag (it's a sale at Digi Scrap Obession you will wanna check these bags out !!) This isn't the only Grab Bag available so check out DSO for the Grab Bag Weekend... a lot of NEW PERSONAL USE GRAB BAGS FOR ONLY 3.00 ~ DON'T MISS IT !!

Just over a week til school starts !

Wow summer went so fast .... we had 1st grade orientation for Nik tonight... and he just turned 7 years old this past Saturday ~ time just goes by to fast in general !!

My daughter made a travelling softball team ~ practice starts this Thursday and they are going to play a fall league ~ 5 week on Sunday's so she'll play 2 games of softball and then go directly to the football games to cheer... I bet she'll sleep really well on Sunday nights !!!!!

I am slowly getting ready bus route wise for the start of the school year.... I am doing a new route this year and although I will miss my kids from the old route I'm really excited to learn the new route and get to know these kids.... it's going to be a good year :)

Well it's that time to think about nighty night time....

Finally starting to feel a bit more like me !

It was a week ago today that I had my sugery. Wow last week was HARD while I was in the hospital I got very upset at the nurses.. they wouldn't give me the pain meds that were promised to me to help me "over the hump" they kept giving me a hard time... I guess at one point and time I told the one nurse to "just forget it and get out of my room" ..... I have never been a victim of such lack of concern in a hospital ..... now that I'm feeling better I am going to write a letter and address it to the DON, Hospital Admin and my doctor so they know exactly what is happening and how patients are being treated.

As of tomorrow we have 2 weeks til school starts... getting my bus paperwork around and organized.... such fun :) I won't be driving the first 3 days but I will be able to be on the bus which will be good .. give me a chance to get to know the knew route... see what kids work sitting together and which one's don't !!!!


Last night my daughter went to get her medicine out of the cupboard and the whole thing fell OFF OF THE WALL AT HER !!!!!!! OMG I was so scared... she's a bit stiff from throwing herself backwards and has a few scrapes on her leg from the glass from all of my plates etc hitting her.. but thank God she wasn't hurt more. And the poor little thing thought I would get mad b/c all of my plates broke.... she thought it was her fault ... my poor sweet baby girl.. I told her it wasn't her fault and plates could be replaced.. SHE COULDN'T
