i have been scrapping these past few weeks … just nothing i can share. i just realized that it’s been almost 3.5 weeks since i’ve shared a layout with you. i don’t have any new layouts to share … but i did make a couple of cards.

Very_merry_birthday

Happy_birthday

nothing fancy … and same basic design. but we had 3 birthday parties this weekend … and i needed a couple of quick cards. i think i told myself a while back that any time i made a card with my scraps … that it would have to be a birthday card. apparently i havn’t done that. because i still don’t have any birthday cards ready to go in my card basket. lol! and i just realized that i need another birthday card for my brother tomorrow. lol!

the girls are going to be so exhausted by sunday night. they had bible daycamp all week … after being in school all day. then friday night alyssa went to a sleepover birthday party for a friend from school. i picked her up at 10am this morning … and by noon we were at our neighbor’s birthday party over at john’s incredible pizza place. that place is so crazy … kids screaming and running all over. but they had fun. we got done with that about 3pm … at which point i dropped them off at our good friend alison’s sleepover birthday party. and that’s where they are right now. and i’m really hoping that sarah makes it ok … she has not done so well with sleepovers lately. lol! and tomorrow morning i pick them up and then we have a few hours to chill. then over to my brothers for a bbq and swimming … for his and joe’s birthdays. those girls should zonk out pretty good by tomorrow night. lol!

i feel like i’ve gotten out of my blogging grove these past few weeks. need to work on that. actually i feel like a lot of things aren’t going like they should. so much to do … and not enough time to do it all. i spend half my time doing things i feel are wasteful … you know … cleaning house, laundry, yardwork. i know it’s part of life … but you end up doing the same thing over and over and over. why waste my weekend cleaning house … when i’m going to have to clean it again next weekend. why trim all the plants in the yard … because then they just grow more and i have to trim them all over again.

i just feel like things are always so hectic … always doing 73 different things. and yet i feel like i do nothing at the same time. tell me i’m not the only one?!?!

    OK, I’m telling you that YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!! Everyone goes through the phase of feeling like they are spinning their wheels – doing the same stuff over and over – and really feel like they are wasting their time. Take a little time to yourself – take a jog, do some yoga, something that pushes your body – it’s amazing how something like that clears your mind. It also refreshes your outlook on life. That has helped me in the past year to turn around all those hectic thoughts of everyday life!

    Nope, you are definitely not alone! The only thing that makes me feel better about doing the mundane stuff is making lists before I start the day…so at the end of the day I can physically SEE that I have accomplished a lot. No, it doesn’t give me more time to do the things I WANT to do…but it makes me feel better about what I actually DID do! Hope you have a fun day – and that your girls sleep well tonight!!

    Sounds like the girls will really just drop today LOL. We have been so busy since friday but our plans for today were canceled so it’s one of those clean the house days for me and I am right with you on WHY. But for me it’s because I have to go back to work on Wednesday already. I will call you later.
