What a wait that was - blogger is slow tonight (or it's my computer!)

Anyways, last night I watched the documentary "mercury falling". So interesting and heartbreaking all at the same time, I so felt for that woman, I know just how she feels. These are the tests we're gearing up to take Molly for. Just to see what her levels are...it may not be "her" thing, but I can't NOT do something.

Have done a few layouts, this one was from our kindy train trip, and I like it - I admit I love clean, simple layouts, and I really have to be honest with myself in my scrapping - after all it is for me & my children.

The second one I did tonight - Molly's sandwich making efforts! hehe, she's such a determined little sausage.
Nice flash burn there too - might reload it tomorrow when I can take a decent shot. (removed this one!)

I am so looking forward to Sunday, I'm going scrapbooking, out of my house, all by myself (well apart from the wonderful company of fellow scrappers) and I'll have no children with me! yeee-hah! I haven't had a decent break, apart from the morning off the other day, and going scrapping is just the icing on the cake!

Molly is still coughing on and off - really nasty little chesty number, hopefully she'll kick it soon...Though Craig was the sick one over the past few days - came home on Sunday night looking terrible and puked (cue my phobia!) and wasn't too flash at all. We slept separately (part of my phobia - I can't stand to be near the sick person) and I scored the lounge! Felt like a sneaky kid, lying on the floor watching sky, hehe - fire was toasty too! Though he's much better and I'm thinking that he's beginning to understand my phobia a little more - I suspect he thought I just didn't like it, and now he's realising that its actually quite real!
Righto - I'm off, I'm dying for a drink (I had asked Craig, but I suspect he's forgotten - it was over 20 minutes ago -LOL)
OH, big congrats to both Trina & Evana on their beautiful little boys - both big, strapping lads - look forward to seeing some sensational pages from them both!

Winter is back...

and we're expecting snow this morning, I was kinda hoping it'd come during the night, and we'd get a 10am start...no such luck though. Thankfully, our fire is roaring and I'm enjoying sitting here listening to it crack every so often, and nothing else - oh lies - the dog is at my feet, snoring - and I can hear the washing machine spinning. But that is it, no TV, no kids, no nothing - BLISS. I actually had some time on Saturday to myself too...Molly woke at around 5am and came into bed with us, and me remembering what it was like last time this happened (think little feet on your back, pushing you out of bed!), got up and came out to the lounge and dozed on the couch (in between watching some animal programme). So when everyone else eventually got up at 8.30am, I felt like crap - so Craig dressed the girl and took her to work....so I did what any chick would do, I cranked up the fire, snuggled under a duvet and watched a movie!! It was so cool, to be able to sit under a duvet without Molly trying to clamber in the foot end was bliss, and to be able to watch a movie during the DAY was unthinkable. I felt great by the time I went to get her at 2pmish (but I went to spotlight before I got her!).
I'm in a funk - I don't feel like scrapping, well I do, but just can't do anything, I can't be bothered blogging, nor surfing the net - big bad funk! Need to snap out of it I think!!
