yes, i have decided that i’ve drained all my creativity as of this afternoon. after getting my mojo back on saturday night … i scrapped all that night. then after alyssa’s soccer game on sunday morning (yes, that was 3 games this weekend) … i scrapped for almost 12 hours straight … all the way until 1:ooam. then after the girls went to school today … i scrapped for about 6 hours straight (had no daycare kids today).

actually a lot of the time today was just preparing the finished projects. i got all 3 done. but then i had to photograph them, crop and resize them, write them up, and email them off. amazing how long just that part takes. i also cleaned up my entire desk … which was covered with stuff. ok, i guess you know me pretty well … it was covered … but only with a layer of pages. and i think there was one official "pile" of stuff. so it really wasn’t a big mess … just an overly organized little mess. anyways … i did it.

and now … i’m so drained that i havn’t really moved since. lol! i finished right before the girls got home from school … and about 15 minutes later i had them back out the door for bible day camp. i was so zoned out … just blog hopping and stuff. i did manage a quick trip to the grocery store for some essentials … bread, milk, fruit, stuff for lunches. and then i zoned some more. girls got home … dinner, homework, showers. this will be a hectic week for them … with 6.5 hours of school and 3 hours of bible day camp. at least we don’t have soccer practice. lol!

i’m upstairs now waiting for the girls to fall asleep … and then i’m headed off to watch some tv i think. my favorite is on tonight … hell’s kitchen. i know the chef’s langauge is terrible (and i won’t even tell you how many tries it took me to spell "language" … is it actually right? lol!) … but i think he’s hilariously mean.

and i also have a new idea book to sit down and enjoy thanks to my new friend wendy … she was nice enough to track me down a copy of real life scrapbooking and surprise me with it! thank you so much wendy! totally what i need right now. gotta refresh my creative mind … because i intend on starting some new projects tomorrow.

and i just got off the phone with deneen … and she told me that i have to post a picture (i told her i was coming here to post). so here you go deneen! this picture cracks me up … it’s just a typical sarah look. crazy, bouncy, running off somewhere. i actually took this picture one night last month … i joked that i was going to take her picture and she ran off down the stairs. there were no lights on (i was in our bedroom) anywhere near the stairs … and i couldn’t even see through my lens … but i just snapped anyways. and this is the picture i got! it’s actually quite amazing … i can’t take a decent picture in the house during the day … even with the flash. and yet i can totally take a decent picture in the dark without even looking through the lens!!! lol!

and is it wrong of me as a parent to NOT want to order school pictures? tomorrow is picture day. of course i’ll get a class picture for both the girls … to someday put in their school album … which someday i will actually get around to. lol! but the packages are so random in what you get and in price. basically to get 2-5×7’s and 2-8×10’s (and a bunch of small pics) … you’re paying $35. let’s do some math. i just ordered 14-8×10’s for my photo wall downstairs (yes, i was one picture short … need to find one more kid to hang on my wall) … and with shipping i paid $16. so just imagine what i could actually get for $35 if i did in myself. lol! and i can totally take a better picture than those people anyways. although i don’t have the pretty purple/red/blue/green backdrops to choose from. lol! so call me a bad mom … but i’m ordering the class picture for $11 (with 4 whopping wallets). and i’ll hold my own picture day! won’t my girls be thrilled? i hope i don’t get the same reaction that sarah gave me up in that picture! lol!
