July (so far)

Sorry I haven't posted but man have I been busy... we had the fourth, and we cooked, grilled, baked everything for that day.. it was a busy weekend for that matter... then we got a new grill that the hubby just had to try.. he brought it home and put it all together himself, so it like we had to grill everything that weekend.. you know how men get.. sometimes worse than women i swear..

then I have been working on invitations, I want to make some just to have to show what I can do.. ya know? Someone might see one of those and really like them... so I have been busy creating and making announcements and invites.. and I found some software to help make some cool ideas that I have been seeing for cards.. I get that tomorrow.. then I will be busy making all kinds of things.. lol...

oh and did you hear we are in this month parenting magazine, in the article about picking your battles with your kids.. let me know if you don't see it.. I can find you a link...

How was your fourth? what did you do? Anything crazy happen?

life

This weekend would have been granny's birthday. Going to be a hard Saturday for us. We celebrate her life don't get me wrong but this is the 1st bday without her and that is just hard. My good friend KK just lost her BF to a car accident days before her bday, so I am just emotional.

I was back in the hospital, this time b/c of back. I think I am going to ask if I qualify for the tens unit. So I need to make a call and schedule dr. appt for that. So tired of pain, dr. appts, and hospitals. Ya know..

I have made some stationery notecards, need to post them so ppl can see them. I just wonder If I need to put a watermark on them before I post in case of someone copying them.. any thoughts?

Chase turned 11 this month too. They are growing up fast. Chris will be 13 this year, I just feel old enough to have a teen yet, hahah.. he is getting so into girls.. the daily stories are amusing. I am very close to my boys, so they share with me all the talk that is going around.. funny..

Hey, do any of you take ambien for sleep? I do, and I apparently made a call to someone while on it and found out the next day. No recollection of it either.. wondering if y'all have stories... lol..

trying to get back to normallcy if there is such a thing..

ciao!
