I am working on a new freebie kit for everyone (about time!), I missed New year’s and Valentines Day so I thought it was time to forgo a bit of sleep to create something to share. I have a few pieces done already so I thought I would whip up a layout page and give you a sneak peek at my next freebie.

I still haven’t worked out the kinks in my software or figured out why I can’t access my storage space, but I always have my free space providers. I will work on getting it upload over the next couple of nights so everyone can download by Monday. By then I should have the entire kit done so I hope everyone comes back Monday for their freebie.

Work is work, not gonna complain tonight made myself promise I would not before I gave in and signed on to the internet. My family is doing well these days and I am, not much to fuss over since I tore the muscle in my left shoulder. Oh yeah, I never told anyone about that, I was up late one night staggering into the babies bedroom and fell when I picked him up. I wrenched myself around to keep the baby from hitting the floor and landed on my son’s toddler bed, hurt like you would not believe.

By mid-afternoon the next day I was doing tax returns with tears running down my cheeks. Called in my Mom (she works for the same company) and off to the ER I went. Not broke just tore the muscle and bruised it, they gave me muscle relaxers (nothing stronger because I am still breast-feeding my little Charlie boy) and a sling (not much help actually). They tell me a torn muscle takes longer to heal and hurts more than breaking a bone, couldn’t say about broken bones because I have not broken anything other than my baby toe and my nose. I can tell you my shoulder throbs on a regular basis and I still can’t raise it past elbow height without wincing.

Well thats the last of my rambling updates, I hope you all come back Monday for that kit and remember to kiss those babies.

I have seriously been lacking here in my little digi-scrap world. I have realized that right now it is just not feasible to keep up with the trends and work a full-time job while taking care of 6 kiddos.

I want to take this time today to say that I have been married to one of the most amazing men for 12 years. He gets up every morning at 2 am and goes to work, gets home by 6am and handles all the children effortlessly (or so it seems). They get to school on time every morning, they get dressed and fed. He changes the diapers (we still have two in them), he soothes all the owies, he handles the mid-afternoon meltdowns. I sit at work for 50 hours a week while he keeps the house like any paid housekeeper would. He has dinner on the table when I get home even on the days he takes me to work and picks me up. The laundry is always done, the kiddos are all happy and I am trully appreciative. I can not wait until this tax season is over, it is time for me to spend time with my children, love my husband and be happy.

I need to stop looking for the next big money making trend, money is overrated. Necessary, yes, overrated and over used definetly. Where is the time of the barter system?
