Just start current and work backwards. It will motivate you more.

Too bad you are so far away, from reading your posts, it seems like you have a great system! I could use some help...

My problem is that I don't feel I "deserve" to start scrapbooking until the whole house is clean, the kids are clean, the laundry is done, etc. So by the time that is all done in our house of 7 (plus a Golden Retriever and a Pug) there is simply no time! I am going to give it a try today (if I can tear myself away from the DISboards).

In one way, I'm glad I get up early like I do, it gives me a chance to ketchup before the madness of the day begins................

Gotta get ready to get Angelina up in a few minutes, man it is raining really hard here this morning, we might need to prepare the ark..........

Okay, my goal of getting caught up will obviously never happen, SOOOOOO, my first question...does everyone spell "catch up" as ketchup on purpose? I can only assume there is a story behind that, care to share?

[poohmomof5]

I don't have much time to

this morning and it looks y'all were busy while I was away yesterday, but here we go....

Okay, now I really want to hear the Ketchup story!

Poohmom

PS, I am so excited, I figured out how to quote people! This is fun!

 

[poohmomof5]

Put all the pages on the floor. Throw the pictures are them. Where they land, glue them there.

Love that idea! Do you think the pug puppy would ever let me get that done? I envision lots of little bite marks on the pictures as he snags them and runs around the house "hiding" my pictures!!!

He is a stinker!

You know, you have to make time for yourself too or you will burn out and be no good to anyone in your family . . .treat something you enjoy like scrapbooking as something you "have" to do every now and then for your mental health. Life can't be all housework and kid and animal care!

 

[bellelinus]

It's not the size of the posts that matter, it is the content.

Not that myth again!

The bite marks add character! Like those little hole punches they sell at the craft stores.

I need some scrapbooking motivation! Any ideas on how to get caught up when you have never really started? What is a good way to start?

Thanks,

Poohmom

Honestly....put your photos in a standard album, and feel good about that.

Scrapbooking is just like this board--nearly impossible to get caught up.

Has anyone seen the comic musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"?? We got nearly free tickets for the show tomorrow night. . . even DH is going to go! I'd love to hear what you thought . . .

It's funny -- not really appropriate for younger kids for some sexual humor, but very enjoyable.

What are you doing? Best of luck and triple Pixie Dust!!!

 

[buckifan]

Yes.

Okay....that's what I thought

Hi, I know a lot of us are Catholics - and our priests are prohibited from marrying - today our parish newpaper arrived and the front page story related the story of a former Episcopal priest who was just ordained a Catholic priest. Now he is a MARRIED Catholic priest!!! Apparently he got a dispensation - as have other former Espiscopalian priests - now (married)Catholic priests.
If it's okay for some to be married - why not all??? Is this hypocritical - is this just me???? However, it just bothered me. Then, what about women priests. No I won't go there.
Okay - thanks for the place to vent!!

Chris

In my opinion -- married priests -- of course! Female priests -- fantastic! Vent all you want . . .

Ok...why is it that my DW can't say "No".....well...except to me... This extremely poor family in our town is having major issues and the mother seems to rely very much on my DW. This family consists of a Grandmother, Mother, Father (we thought, but DW thinks the girls called him "uncle"), and two girls ages 5 and 7 all living in a mobile home. The Father (or Uncle) is disabled and home stricken. The mother and grandmother work at McDonald's. I guess that's all they have of a family, we only know them because our DD played on their older daughter's softball team, but their mother calls my DW for all issues.

Anyway, the mother (probably in her mid-30s) just had some type of artery surgery a few weeks ago that caused her to have two cardiac arrests because the artery's collapsed while in the hospital (I'm not a doctor, and heard the medical information 3rd hand, so not sure to accuracy). At that time, my DW had their two girls stay with our DDs for what was suppose to be 1 night for the surgery, but was stretched to 4 nights (school nights no less) due to the complications since the father (or uncle) couldn't watch them and the grandmother was assisting mother at hospital. Well...the mother went back into the emergency room of our small county hospital tonite and they called us to pick the girls up before the ambulance transported the mother to a real hospital. At least my DW told them it had to be just tonite and called their church pastor to try to gather some additional helpers.

I know they are extremely grateful and comforted that their girls can play with our DDs and take their mind off their mother in the hospital, because she does have serious health concerns. But it is concerning that they have no one close to them that can help them and that they call my DW because they know her from our DD's softball team. The mother's health sounds life threatening, so very concerning what options the children and grandmother may have if something were to happen. I know helping them is the right thing to do, but with DW and I both working fulltime jobs (we work opposite schedules so DDs always have a family member available), and with DW working on a PhD, the stress level's already high.

The good news.....we have Rum.

and prayers to this family. I hope the mom comes out ok. You and your family have very big hearts.

I agree.....in my scrapbook, my dd hasn't even celebrated her 1st birthday.....in real life, she's 7.

Please leave the skunks behind, too.

 

[buckifan]

Please leave the skunks behind, too.

What about the groundhogs? Do we really need those?

 

[pyramid2000]

No apparently they don't have any in Western Mass because it is never mentioned on the Boston area weather maps. In fact we're not really sure there is a Western Mass. Although people say they live there, but I don't think it really exists. Must be people in the WPP.

Kinda like the bermuda triangle of Massachusetts?
