Some new Scrapping...

I have to tell you I had found a great forum for scrappers.. but well toooo much drama there for me.. so I am homeless... :( :) so I decided that I should post some of my LO's here....

Wow... almost 4 months...

I am a slacker.... Everytime I am going to blog.. I do something else.... so here goes.. I am doing nothing but blogging today.. lol...

hmm.. update.. I have been busy with work.. Currently I just sent out my resume for a new job... so please hope and pray for me.. it is a job make much more than I do now which is not much for the education I have.... the kids have been doing well.. They spent 2 1/2 weeks with their grandparents in KY.. to which they had fun.. now it is getting ready to go back to school... I have to tell you I hate school shopping.. it is horrible.... Last but not least is Tom.. he has been working working and working... WE will soon be celebrating our 1 year anniversary.. how does time go by soo fast??

This weekend will be a busy one for me.... first off tomorrow night we are going to the Monster Truck Jam in Toledo that I won tickets for... (the kids are sooo excited) and then the rest of the weekend I will be scrapping... http://www.theschoolofscrap.com is having a crop hop.. which I am soo excited to be involved in... So I need to get back there and keep chatting as I am in the lead of points for the Crop Hop forum...

A Fast update

Sat I went to the Expo for Susie and Rachel and had a blast... took my poor cousin Melissa to shop and the poor thing was soooo tired.. plus got to work.. lol... we had a lot of fun.. we were exhausted though by the time we got home... we left at 530AM and got home at 10 PM...

Since then I have been crazy here at work.. can I say I hate month end close... lol... this month has been a real hectic one since we had to close for the quarter as well as the month... so we are stressed to the max this week... lol... right now I am killing a few minutes waiting on our controller to finish something.... then I get to leave here and go grocery shopping... what joy.. lol... oh yeah.. have to get Easter stuff sometime too :( Thank goodness we are off on Friday.. not sure what we will be doing... but apparently spending some time together with the kids till they go to their dads that evening... then Sunday will be singing in the Easter Cantata.

Well... I best get scooting.. I need to upload some of my latest LO's tonight.. maybe some pics too.. have to give you all something new to look at.. lol..

My Crazy week..

I have sooo decided that I will always type my blog in word.. then transfer it over… every time I go to highlight the stupid thing to copy it incase it will not post.. Blogger loses it… why why why

Anyways.. here is my MBA update….. I talked to the head of the MBA program and she basically told me I will never be able to be readmitted to the MBA program.. the reason for this is that I have dropped some classes in the last year and received 2 of my C’s… well let me tell you.. the one of classes I dropped before they even started because of being sick.. and the other set was because of the buyout going on here at work… I could not keep up with the work and my work at work… so I still can appeal it to the Dean.. but not sure what I should do…. But taking it all in stride that I can use the extra time to scrapbook…

This week.. well I had a tooth pulled on Friday so I spent most of the weekend on the couch… I did get 2 pages done this weekend… one I have to add the pictures to and embellish yet… but I used the CK Easy patterns book.. it was soooo nice to be able to finish pages fast.. just have to put pics on them.. it tells you exactly how to cut the paper… and you get 4 pages, 1 card and another project done…

Well I gotta jet off to get some work done…

I need your encouragement..

Girls... I am having a crappy day... I got a stupid letter from school that I have been dismissed from the MBA program because I got 3 c's.. I can not help that I have been sick... Spent a whole semester trying to get better... I need some encouragement.. I feel like all I wanna do is cry.. I do not care about anything... :(

Sorry tomorrow will be spent on the phone with them to try and get this straightened out..

My last two crazy days

Well since my blog was all ready to go 2 days ago and all got erased.. I am going to do 2 days of blogging in one entry…

Kid wise…
Well Tuesday night was just a bad night all together and well they were mad at me as well… it was one of those days anything I did made them mad…. :( except for the trip we made to the ice cream shop next to our house….Well eventually it was better and they went to bed… last night.. it was not too bad… The kids had Awana so I had a quiet two hours… when they came home Seth was happy that he had passed 1 section, and Desaray passed a couple.. She got a new jewel in her crown… her 3rd red one.. they finally were going to get ready for bed and Papa Taylor showed up… wanted to drop a bunch of candy off before he headed back to KY today…I have about 4 pounds of candy at my house….. Lots of Snickers… :)
The kids received their Spring pictures back this week… They are very good… Seth’s look sooo him.. Dez’s well they are cute as she is missing her front teeth… do you think that when their Dad saw them that he could make a positive comment about it… no of course not.. he had to make a smartass comment about how she should not have smiled… This is the last time that he will see their school pics.. if he wants some then he can contact the school and order them… I guess I am ranting about it.. but it is frustrating.. if it was Hunter he would be plopping money down in a heart beat to get them… why does he have to be so freaking cheap to his kids…. I guess that is why I am no longer married to him.. I am glad to have Tom… He treats the kids sooo much like his… anyone think that they can get him to sign off parental rights… lord that would make my life so much easier… I mean when he has to watch the kids he has a fit about it… not like he is working right now but he feels that god forbid that he have to watch them when we do not have a babysitter… then he complains about how much it is… ARG!!!!!!!!!!!

Me
Tuesday was a crappy rotten day.. everything went wrong.. work was horrible….. :( got home… Tom and I were fighting… :( over something trivial and stupid… then I scrounged up some change to take the kids to the ice cream place… and was short 15 cents… so I was grouchy… The night finally got better…. Last night I felt like crap and dealing with the idiot just did not make my night any better…

My one good thing of Tuesday was that I received a paper to be in the Who’s Who Among Executive and Professional Women.. What an honor.. though one of the ladies here at work was not very nice about it. :( ruined my happiness about it.

Tom
He is doing well.. working all the time… :( :) He was asked to pick up a shift on Saturday afternoon which he is doing… the money will be nice to help us get caught up..



Also I need to remember to take more pictures... I found myself looking at my camera last night realizing that I had not used it like I should... please pester me for pics so I remember to use it...

Wednesday.....

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my whole post typed up and it died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long time.... UPDATE!!!

Guess that I should get my butt in gear and keep this thing up to date... :) It has been sooooo crazy around my house lately... Lets see

The beginning of Feb Tom had all kinds of urinary problems... It all ended up coming out ok but still ended up that he had a catheter for 2 weeks before everything was taken care of... It looks as if he will have to have surgery in the future but at the present time it will be ok...

Then while this was all happening of course he could not start his new job which sucked... so no $$$$$$ so I am a big broke woman.. lol... Well he finally has started and before he has even finished his shadowing he was offered a full time job.. . YEAH!!! plus the opportunity for OT is great!! Though I will probably never see him.. lol...

In Between all this we moved.... Thank goodness after almost 3 years we are out of my trailer... we have rented a huge duplex... Our side is about 3000 square feet... My kitchen is sooo big.. I love it... it actually makes me wanna cook as I have room to do lots of things.. .lol.... In the week that we have lived there I have actually baked 3 times... well 2 if you do not count the cookies I burnt up last night... oops.. do not tell Tom... lol....I put the timer on and forgot about them because they were not done when the timer went off.... They were nice and hard.... lol... and in the trash they went.... I also have nice scraproom.. of course on the that I have to share with Tom :( so he can have his computer in there.. lol... but I think I can handle it... lol.... I may have to have him run Cable.. so that I have something to watch in there... as I can not see the TV since it is on the other side of the house.. and the best time to scrap is when all the good shows are on... :( and it stinks.. because then I will watch TV rather than scrap.. bad bad Marie... especially since Tom will be working afternoons... this would be the perfect time to scrap... so I will have to beg.. maybe he will read this and take sympathy with me... and get that outlet ran.. :)

Other than that the kids are great... Dez is pulling all A's and one high B in school.. Her B is in Phonics... Seth loves school and can not wait to go everyday...

Oh.. back on me,..... I get to go to the Scrapbooking Expo in Columbus on March 31st.. and work... to represent Scrap Happy.. so if anyone comes.. please stop and say HI!!!

My Latest LO

This LO was inspired from a challenge on www.lifetimemoments.com I am involved in Winter Scrapfest there.. not that I have to be... however it has given me a great reason to scrap.

The pictures on this LO were taken by Tom on our Honeymoon. I believe that they were on the flight from Atlanta to Charleston. I felt that the challenge to use this verse fit perfect with these pictures.
