Morning all

Let's see I need to hit the hotspots still left in the upstairs bath and haul all the trash from yesterdays cleaning downstairs.
Then it's on to our room (hopefully I come out) I don't know why our room is always a disaster zone. I have a poing by point list for it written so I won't bore you with it.
E is to be at a friends this pm then to ball with them so I just need to do pick up hopefully he's dropped off there after fishing but something tells me that won't happen.
Laundry the never ending mom job caused some interesting conversations between tom and I last night. He thinks not only should I do it all wash dry fold but that I should be putting it away for them and that I should still be cleaning their rooms for them! sooo sorry to burst your bubble honey NOT going to happen. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the house.

well off to get the party started Have a great day all

DS23 leaves for India today. I wasn't able to get anyone to switch with me at work , so I can't go to the airport It's gonna be a tough day for me!

I didn't make any resolutions this year. I'm just going to go easy on myself and others. And a general push towards getting healthier.

Today I have to:

Make broccoli salad

PN - is there a special reason of taking a family photo??

Dh is goig to work, it is boys last day of freedom
finish inkscaping NYE stuff - almost done, it is just Father time, the baby, wine bottle with a glass, chamage glasses then party confettii

I'm trying to get some stuff done for general stuff to help my family album - they look so boring compare to my Disney albums - I'm thinking snow stuff next, we usually get a snow once in Jan/Feb, then I guess V-day

Scrapping itself is on hold until I get some pictures from dad - didn't have many of me & a couple of other people

I do need to fix scrapping scraps - I use a "milk crate" that has file folders with the name of each color for my scraps - wondering if I should set up the same thing for swap stuff/playing around things

I'm going to strip the couch & living room chairs & get them wahsed (maybe curtains too) other wise living room is cleaned up (need to sweet talk mom into some paintings for above my couch, she has been painting alot lately, found some learn to paint thing on the computer, I think dad found it, anyways she has several now tht she did just to learn something that are really good to me)

I really need to fix up the bookshelves in the Master bedroom - DH did his so mine look really bad now, since they have alot scrap stuff it would be good to find everything.

I think I"m rambling again, most internet people think I talk alot because I ramble on the computer, but I seem to be able to type better than say anything out loud

I have most things done at this point.

My mom wrote this one that has 3 family devotions a week. It is based on what she did with us (5 kids with an age range of 13 years). http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565635671/karenhwhiting-20

I love your cuts Reddy!

Sorry that you couldn't go to the airport with DS Debbie.

Rebecca

 

[joyah]

Reddy those are wonderful!!!!

Deb hang in there HUGS

Maybe i need to check out flylady

The bedroom is winning!!! but there is no way I can go to bed till it's done that's what i keep telling myself anyway.

L decided against the basement room so that moves that cleaning to the END! Tom semi cleaned E's room last night but it still needs hoeing.....

Laundry is running nonstop why can't the dryer dry fast enough to keep up with the washer?


I've found the bedroom rug but lost the bed does that count? I can also see the closet again (well the bottem 1/2 has come out of hiding) now to go downstairs and get some garbage bags for the purging of the cloths for the thrift stores.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Wow Busy days everywhere!!

We all slept in!!! Such a treat.
First- Need to reboot my computer. its being dumb
Find out if DBF sent over house offer yet- Nope needs to get that done!!!
Caffinate and Feed girls
DD and her friend are still sleeping need to get them up and out of my downstairs so I can work
Get holiday swap knocked out
Maybe a run to J's got a gc for christmas and now is a good time to snag clearance
Get DBF to take tree out, decorations back to garage and to get his blow ups and lights down
Dinner-not sure

 

[tinkryansmom]

Thanks Rebecca!! ordered a copy from B & N

hoeing the bedrooms!!

 

[joyah]

yep hoeing! shoveling sounded really bad although at this point it's close to that.

the closet has fully been found and purged and cleaned!!! and the best part nothing landed on the bed
Even got all the way to the back to the wedding dress! now to find the folding table to get that out and guess I'd better find the bed!

 

[morgansmom2000]

A little of this and that today. Went to M's to use my gift card on some Iris boxes (and just a couple things at 80% off!), so I can get my organization in the right direction. Morgan found some half price PlayMobil at Learning Express, we went to lunch, came home and napped! She goes back to school tomorrow, and DH has to work. I've got the day off, but baby Ryan is coming for a visit so his mom can go to work for a couple hours. Can't wait to see him

Deb. I don't envy you.

Christy! Keep on hoeing It drives me crazy that the dryer can't keep up with the washer too.

Johnna, I took advanced Listmaking in college. Love me some lists too!

Reddy, awesome work!

Sheila, do you have tomorrow off? Do you get to scrap?

Cassey, good luck tomorrow at your new job. Can't wait to hear all about it!

Nancy, what's the 8x8 you're working on? I have to admit I love the 8x8 size. Feels right to me.

Rebecca, your list is long but mostly done! Great work. I've never done the crops at M's, but I'd like to one of these days.

Rachal, my Jo's had stamps and stickers and all kinds of awesome stuff for $.30 a piece! Did you go?

Hope I got everyone and you've all had a great day!

 

[morgansmom2000]

I don't have a Kindle, but thought this was funny Free Book

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Jennifer,

I'm making PJ an 8 x 8 baby book (I won't part w/ the original yet!) I'm having a really hard time with 8 x 8.... but I'm determined to do it... I need to get it done in 2 weeks.. I think I'm going to do it digital because I found an awesome CM set that just screamed to me.. so tomorrow will be scanning the photos I had already selected. I will then take those photos and put them back into the 1993 family album...

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Jennifer, mine had squat!!!! may try a big one tomorrow. no clearance anything!! i did manage to snag a MS bone folder for $4, i lost mine in the move.

 

[ckmom97]

Reddy, I love those New Year's pp. Awesome work as always. I usually don't take any pictures on New Years Eve. Maybe I'll remember next year.

Jennifer, I am off tomorrow. I usually just work on Mondays and Thursdays. I may have to add an extra day if our audit is scheduled for early in the year, but I've been able to handle it with just 2 work days a wk for the last couple of years. I've been sitting in the floor with a pile of pictures and my new sketch book while watching the Fiesta Bowl. Should be able to scrap a few hours tomorrow afternoon.
