5 Weird things about me....
Wednesday, October 4, 2006
*Sigh*
It's been a long day. Finally it's that time of day that I long for... bedtime.
Kids are all tucked in their beds quietly reading for the time being and finally I can sit and actually think.
Apparently I was rather tired today. I went to lay down with Liam so that he would fall asleep and take a nap.. and I ended up falling asleep because the only way I can get him to nap is to lay with him and pretend Im asleep until he gives up telling me how nice my eyebrows are and falls asleep. Then I sneak out and have some much needed Mommy time.
I came downstairs as soon as I realized it but I had already been asleep for 1.5 hrs and I knew they'd be awake soon and the other boys would be home from school soon. Instead of working like I intended... I fell back asleep on the couch. I shoulda just stayed upstairs lol.
I think it's rather ironic how I can't for the life of me get to sleep at night but I have NO problems falling asleep in the middle of the day.
DH is also out of the house tonight because he is picking up his motorcycle from his dad and returning his dad's 4runner, another reason it's quiet. I swear that man is just as loud all by himself as all 5 of the boys put together.
Oldest child, Kyle, is away at Science camp this week. It's been weird without him here. It's not the first time he's been away from home for a good length of time or anything.. it's just weird. I hope he is having a great time.
Anyway, I guess I'm done rambling so I can go and attempt to get some work done and then you can see what I have in the works!

Another look inside the mind of a loon...
Ok so this is going to be my attempt at some lame journalism, if not for me to vent but to give whoever may happen to be lurking a chuckle and a sigh of relief that it's not THEIR life lol.
Anyway, so I got very little sleep last night.. maybe about 5 hours. Hubby and I were up late reminicising and talking about old times (b/c we are OH SO old!), and then when we did try to go to sleep he kept me awake with his incessant snoring. I swear that man could wake the dead. Normally I can get him to roll over but when he is overly tired, yeah forget it. I slept on the couch til about 5 am and then I went back upstairs as he was getting ready for work.
Have I mentioned that I am NOT a morning person? I'm horrible lol. So, Im able to drag my butt out of bed as my older boys are about ready to leave for school. I walk into the dining room where I find my 2 and 3 yr old covered in yogurt b/c they snuck into the fridge while I was peeing and ate it with their hands.
8:00 am- Big boys are gone to school and I attempt to start cleaning up from breakfast but I can barely function so I make myself a cup of coffee. It's also payday so that means I have to check my bank balance and start paying the monthly bills.
So I sit down at the computer and log onto my bank account..when I start to have a slight panic attack as I'm waiting for the page to load.. this is not normal behavior for some.. for me it is.
I paid all my bills and got caught up on some that I was behind on so that made me feel better.
Well, all of a sudden it's quiet and all I hear are the cartoons on behind me... never a good sign.
I go back to my son's bedroom, terrified of what I might find because it can't possibly be good.
The door is locked. I get them to unlock it and I've found that they've overturned my 2 yr old's toddler bed and have made a fort. Ok.. not too bad right... then I turn around and find a very empty, possibly licked clean, canister of dry CountryTime Lemonade Mix... I bought it at Costco so that tells you the size. It's was probably 2/3 gone by the time they got to it but I'm trying to get everyone ready to get out the door to take my 5 yr old to Kindergarten.
Gee, I hope he's not bouncing off the walls too much for his teacher.....
Ok so I get home.. mind you it's now 12pm noon. I have walked to and from the school pushing a double stroller with at least 60 lbs of weight in it. The school is about a 20 min walk both ways. I'm hopped up on coffee and it's past lunch time and they are gettin cranky!
Lunch consists of Top Ramen which ends up being dumped on the floor, so Mom's had it.. it's naptime regardless of whether or not they want to b/c I need a break and my house looks like the living room threw up more than once.
So now as I am writing this I am up and down going all Super Nanny on my 2 youngest kids (2 & 3) trying to get the to take a nap and downing a 20 oz Diet Coke, YAY more Caffiene!!!!! Rock ON!
Oh yeah something I left out... in between ALL of the above I'm trying to WORK too.
A little something for my readers.. please don't take this as me looking for someone to feel sorry for me. That's not the point. I love my life regardless of how crazy it makes me. I've had people tell me they feel sorry for me b/c I have such a large family but that makes me sad to think that that is how some people see my life. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Here's me getting a little Off topic..
And look it's not scrap related!! But at least you get a little inside to my life, and a little personality about me.. **Warning though, I'm not always this crazy**
Kids are driving me a little batty this morning.. Both Braeden (5) and Liam (3) refused to get dressed this morning.
It started with Liam not wanting to put on his underwear so he was naked all morning then he wouldnt get dressed so I was stressing b/c we have to leave soon to take Braeden to school.. so I told him that I was going upstairs to get dressed and if I came down and he wasnt dressed then he was getting in trouble, he got dressed.
Oh and right now..I look like death threw up. I could be nominated for What not to Wear and win AND I'm going outside this way b/c

He did this to himself by the way.. well.. all but the gloves.. Alex thought this would be a nice touch hehehe. Nevermind the mess behind him.. it is literally in the process of being cleaned up.

Starting from scratch...
The other day I discovered that my not so darling husband deleted everything except for our music off our secondary hard drive. Well, this is where I was storing all of my FULL size original pictures and every layout I have ever done except for some of my most recent work.
Those were on the main drive. All that including my original PSD files.I've managed to recover about 1500 pictures from cd's and 2 old memory cards that I could not bring myself to erase. Good thing Im a packrat by nature huh?
DH feels SO bad for not asking as he usually does before he does anything to the computer... that he's buying me a file recovery program. We ran the trial and found a whole mess of stuff but have to buy it next week when we get paid to actually recover stuff.
I've also gone through my photobucket accounts and downloaded the resized versions, and am going to try to re-scrap them on a much smaller scale. Maybe do a few 6x6 albums and have them printed.I'm sure y'all are gunna be seeing alot of new work from me in the near future... But can you just say UGH!?!?
Take this as a reminder to back up your stuff to CD or DVD's!!
