i know i’ve been a terrible blogger this past week … or two. but i have reasons. the oddly, condensed version for your reading pleasure.

• super, crazy busy with assignments and deadlines … it’s all great stuff … just busy
• and inconviently, everything i have done scrapping-related lately has gone to heck … seriously
• my creative mojo is there … but yet stuff isn’t working out
• anything that CAN go wrong with my scrapping … HAS gone wrong
• someone told me once they didn’t think i was capable of creating anything crappy … i’m here to tell you i CAN
• last weekend was crazy with parties and birthdays … and i havn’t caught up since
• it’s been ugly around here this week … fires somewhere near by are making for terrible air outside
• but it’s been hot … i hate when it’s hot
• and i’m trying to keep the kids inside … especially since i needed to get refills for alyssa’s asthma meds
• my miss haley has been home sick all week … we miss her
• i think nikolas has missed her too … at least i’m convinced that is what he’s been trying to tell me all week
• we’re year-round school here … and doing all the year-end stuff this week
• alyssa played in the band at the 8th grade graduation … i only teared up twice … and i didn’t even know anyone graduating
• a HUGE amount of papers have come home from school … that happens when they clean out their desks
• awards ceremonies today … but i didn’t go to sarah’s because i didn’t think she was getting an award
• turns out she did get an award … perfect attendance … 1 of only 6 kids in three entire grade levels
• alyssa got perfect attendance too … 1 of only 4 kids in three entire grade levels
• alyssa got honor roll … perfect 4.0 all year long … she also got the citizianship award for her class
• kids officially finished school as of 12:15 today
• kids were officially bored by 1:30 today … and home for the next 6 weeks
• i had to say “goodbye” to someone today … and it was so hard … incredibly hard
• i’ve been thinking of her all day … and everytime i do … i cry hearing her “goodbye” to me replay over and over in my head
• and i very rarely cry
• except graduations where i don’t know anyone
• i have a load of laundry laying all over the fooseball table … i can’t seem to find the time to put it away … so we dig through it to find what we need
• we have no real food in this house … nothing that can be turned into an actual meal that is
• i had to do a firedrill today … i never knew i was supposed to be doing firedrills … i found this out an my surprise inspection a few weeks back
• i had till the 26th to fax it in … and the dude called me on the 24th to check on me
• i told him that i never do anything until the day it is due … that’s how i roll
• i don’t know how you really do a firedrill with 3 babies under the age of 20 months … i just explained to them that i would scoop them all up and carry them to safety
• i know … it’s a serious matter … i’m just being sarcastic and a pain
• it feels like friday … even though it’s thursday
• i think it’s because of the excitement of the last day of school
• although technically … it’ll be friday in one hour

so random … but that’s how i’m thinking these days. i do have a few cards that i hope to share in the next day or two. i was holding out until the product released … but a little birdie told me she came across it at target today … so i think it’s safe to share. just give me a day or two to try and catch up!
