my midlife crisis........

for awhile now I have babbling on about how Ineed a new job/career but now I reallythink I want one! I love my job-the having babies part- but the rest is killing me. I hate working nights, I hate working 12 hrs,I hate the politics of working where I work...aaaarrrrrgh. what to do what to do???? I do however like the money and the time off.....hmmm I think I need to win the lottery. Anyhow, if anyone has an idea as to what i could do let me know. I have a few ideas but will have to do a bit more research...................or perhaps this is my midlife crisis and it will pass.

it finally caught me

so i managed to fight the flu off...or so i though. Friday i went to work, feeling ok, slight headache by the end of work but that is the norm lateley. Came home feeling tired so went to bed early.....fast forward to 3am awake and freakin' freezing, shaking I remember being cold but apparently i was "on fire" and slightly delerious according to darren. I yelled a few things, woke up feeling like crap and progressed from there. Needless to say i did not go to work saturday night and there were some not so happy people but believe me i would rather be at work than feeling like crap like i did. Today i am congested but the fever seems to have broke....or so i think-- according to suzie it rears it's ugly head again jsut when you think it is gone.
we are still going back and forth on the flooring and now appear to be back onto laminate.
Also having some issues with painting- I really can't justify paying some guy $3000+ to paint our new place. the claw will be back, i may try spraying though......
hope you all have a good week.

rain rain go away

so it would appear that I am still fighting off the evil sickness....Matthew however is not so lucky. He woke at 5 this morning barking like a seal-if he was younger i would say croup-poor kid-poor me! He always seems to get sick when i have a million things to do...oh well it will be a fun filled day full of nothing......he is a typical sick "boy/man" whiney, pathetic in fact, "wo is me" you would think he was on his last breath. Taryn sick is completely different, she parks herself on the couch with a blanket, juice, book, doll and remote and is good to go.......
hope everyone enjoys their day!

oh before i forget ....guess what i got darren for valentines day?
a new house, hahaaha i crack myself up.
Darren however was very sweet, or sucking up and got me 1 dozen white roses(my fave) and some chocolates.......think he was looking for some action.......too bad it is "the time"

adios!

yuck...

starting to feel yucky, i have been fighting it off for a while now but apparently this is the downward spiral....Taryn had a fever last night and matthew had a cough this morning so you know it is heading my way....

toot for me

so I was extremely excited to do my Guest DT gig for my fave lovebug for 4 months and now I have been asked by another online team to be guest designer for a month-how cool. I will post more info when I know.

there is a challenge now to do a BOM (book of me) at Lovebug. Here is my title page-notice how i managed to do it without a pic of me, hahahha.

We think we have picked our floor for out new house.....think being the operative word. This time we are going with hardwood instead of laminate, leary at first because of the scratches from Row and the kids but we are thinking about an "oiled" hardwood which means it does not have that super glossy look so you don't notice the scratches if there are any....we hope. It is twice as much as laminate but looks so nice it is hard to not get it......ooooooh what's that.......me hemmoraging money.......think we have a tentative layout for the kitchen too-all depends on exact measurements when we get in there.

how cute is this!

Taryn decided she was going to copy a layout from a magazine. She went through the mag and found the perfect layout and then "scraplifted" it.

monday.....

this weekend was a wet one! It rained saturday for Matthew's soccer game and again sunday for Taryn's- i was a drowned rat.
Need to really start to get ready to move-order dumpster for new house, move all utilities etc.....tonight have shower for some of the girls at work...more to follow.....so much to do so little time.........
Am starting a bom (book of me-for all you non-scrappers) not sure how this will go but hopefully will make me step outside my box.....
