i totally ran out of time to blog last night. a friend of mine mentioned a while back, that i havn't done a "facebook randomness" post in a while. so, here you go. some of my status updates from over the last month. some worth sharing, and some that i should have maybe left over there. lol!

 

the totally random webcam video's that i find on my laptop are hilarious 🙂

am stalled on my last 2 CHA assignments. Am procrastinating by playing some game on the iPod where I mow the lawn. Lol!

why is it, that i blowdry my hair with a round brush, curling it under. and by the time i'm done, the ends of my hair are all flipped up? makes no sense.

the only reason i'm going outside to trim a few plants, is because they're blocking the window to my scraproom, and i don't have enough natural light coming in to get decent photos of my projects.

love this time of day. everyone is fed. littles are down for naps. alyssa is working on summer projects for school. sarah is probably on the computer or watching tv. and i get some computer time, to accomplish some work without interuption.

it's 2:10am, and i'm waiting for alyssa to get home from the midnight showing of harry potter, so i can go to bed. i have to wake up in less than 5 hours, for work. at least the daycare kids are used to me being sleepy in the mornings. lol!

new hair color. went with golden cappucino this time. i know that packaging is getting smaller these days. but you can't go and reduce the amount of hair color in a box, without giving some sort of warning. halfway through applying the color, and i realize there's hardly anything left. so not cool.

my eyeballs can edit photos no more. taking a break, to do something fun. like laundry. not fun, but needed.

 

fyi – treat receipts are back at starbucks 🙂

the craziness of making lunch, serving lunch, and cleaning up lunch, to the little ones and big ones is seriously draining. sooooo glad that naptime comes after lunchtime. i need the quietness, and to be left alone for a bit 🙂

overheard on "drop dead diva". in court. jane to offense: "imagine what you could do with all that creativity. i hear scrapbooking is fun". judge: "i will NOT allow anyone in this court to demean scrapbooking". made me laugh 🙂

to any opponents i left hanging on words with friends or hanging with friends … i'll make my moves soon. i promise. kills me to have that many games sitting there, waiting for me. lol!

at sarah's first soccer meeting last night, they asked the girls how long they'd been playing soccer. when sarah said this was her 9th year, we got a "9th? really?", since she's the youngest on her under-14 team, but had the most years. made me second guess my math skills. but i'm a scrapbooker, and here's proof 🙂

i sort of miss scrapbooking. havn't had as much time to be creative lately. need to make time. i'm itching to cut and paste something.

someone please tell me the light at moffat and industrial will be working again, in 13 days, when school starts. otherwise, dropping off and picking up at the high school is going to be a nightmare. and then there's the trains, that you know will always come when i'm about to cross the tracks. (update – it's back up and running, after weeks of road work)

today has been super hectic and busy. a little work, back to school shopping with the girls, a little more work, took alyssa to get her braces off, more work, dinner, a little work, heading to a team parent meeting for soccer, and then back to work.

can someone tell me where today went?!?! or what i've actually done with my day?!?! weird when you've been going non-stop, yet you feel like you havn't accomplished a thing.

 

this is pathetic. out of all the words with friends games that i've been playing for the last month, this is the only game that i actually won. no clue who it was. but they gave up before we even started, and i was declared the winner.

dropped alyssa off at the high school this morning at 8:00, for sophmore "round up day". picking up her schedule, taking school pictures, ordering a yearbook, and stuff like that. yes, that was a chunk of $$$ to fork out already.

that last one was from this morning. i'm sitting here, waiting for the girl to text me, asking me to run back to the school to pick her up. school starts in SIX days. and then i will be taking out my taxi-driver-mom hat again, and putting it to good use 😉
