feelin like the ick..
blech. thats how i've been feeling since i got back from cali.and my mojo is still freakin no where to be found. i hate that.
bc i have this want. this urge to like make something...but i just
cant. and when i try it comes out looking like crap. luckily i squeezed
out that lo up there and i actually kinda digged it. but that could be
more that i liked the person in the pic than the actual lo. do you ever get like that? seems to be happening so much to me lately where i'm just
not satisfied with my work. sigh.
in other news olivia's last day of school is friday! i can't wait to sleep in
till 8. can i get a HOLLA! seriously. sleep is mucho precious to me and i
feel like i get so little.
and ooh yeah. ikea opened here last week. hell yes. i've been of course
salivating over their website for years, but have never stepped foot
into one until last sunday. and man. seriously. the textiles area was
like a feast for my eyes. not so much for my wallet lol. got a few cute things like throw pillows and slipcovers, an apron and some mirrors.
not much else that we 'needed' at the time ha! but i'll be back. oh yes.
bc they have the most awesomest little playroom for the kiddies. and
the girls loved it. now thats what i call shopping!
ok well i'm off to do the laundry thats been screaming at me since i came
home from cali...i've been ignoring it so well, however art is not appreciating that one little bit. ugh. but to wear clean undies IS important so off i go.

hump day

Tuesday, May 15, 2007
i totally forgot.

isnt that little chickie up there the cutest ever?? i love her mucho. it was hard to part with her and her 7 sisters. but hey..had to let the moms in our family know they were loved right? and who better to do that then them? seriously those stamps are gettin some mileage lately. love it.
ok so i totally forgot that laura tagged me. so im gonna do it now before i forget again, bc we know that i will.
10 weird facts about me:
- as soon as i walk in the door at home, i have to pee. it doesnt matter if i was only gone for 5 minutes. i still have to pee. some kind of weird latch key kid thing. i dunno.
- i make weird sighing noises whenever i put on my seatbelt, roll over in bed etc. i didnt even realize it until like a few weeks ago carolyn was laughing at me for it.
- i'm a tapper. when i dip my fries in ketchup, i tap off the excess. when i dip my chips into dip..yep i tap. i never realized that until carolyn pointed it out. she seems to have a keen sense of observation huh?
- before i go to bed, after i've locked all the doors and turned off the lights i go to the bathroom. not necessarily bc i have to, just habit.
- it takes me approx. 45-60 mins to fall asleep at night. if not longer. but if i lay down during the day, it takes me about 10 minutes tops.
- i only like to eat at restaraunts that i've eaten at before. oh, and i order the same things over and over. like if we go to the other place, i get the chicken pasta salad. always. if we hit up old spaghetti factory, its meatballs and spaghetti with thousand island dressing on the side for my salad. yep. i'm predictable. altho it does really make it hard for me to try new things lol.
- i love hip hop/r&b but really dont like that much rap. now maybe thats not weird, but to me it is. it seems if i like one i should like the other, but i dont really.
- if there are dishes in my sink i feel like my entire house is filthy. and if i want to cook and there are dishes in the sink, i have to wash them first.
- for some reason, everytime me and the girls leave the house, we all seem to coordinate. i dont do it on purpose, but it happens. sometimes its really cute. and most of the time i get asked if the girls are twins.
- when i sit down to do a lo, it takes me like 45mins to actually pick out my paper and pics, but once thats done it takes me about 10 mins to get the page together. i think that 45mins is really just me peaing.
so we started up the job charts again for the girls..and i'm hoping that it really helps. so far so good. maya of course needs more prodding. thats my girl. she likes to procrastinate.
oh, and the other day i was sitting here making those mothers day cards and remembered that i needed to do a bday card for brit, which then led me to think about what i could make her for her bday. then i realized that i have all this stinkin felt sitting here..why not sew up some barrettes? so i did. and now i'm obsessed. in fact, i even made a late night run to walmart to get a glue gun and some more felt. and can i just say that going to walmart at 11pm the day before mothers day is like going there on xmas eve?? ugh. but it was pretty worth it. i'll try to post some pics before i head out to cali this weekend. so excited and nervous eeeeeeek!!

had a playdate today..and i ended being there by myself! grr. that really kinda perturbs me. i mean..i know ppl have lives and all..but seriously..no one can make it? makes me feel like i have the plague lol. anyways the girls and i had a great time ..we took juice and some snacks and had a little picnic under a tree. the weather is just awesome today--i just wish my allergies would go away! i have the worst sinus headache right now. and the last cpl days i've been waking up with migranes, which i'm sure are really allergy related. blah.
i've been feeling really lazy the last few days..so much so that i havent even done laundry yet this week..or even started working on mothers day stuff. which i really need to get hoppin on that. like today. lol.

ahh...love this weather we've been having the last few days..so perfect; idyllic i guess you could say. not too cold, not too hot. just right.
havent been scrapping much the last few days..i dont know. i'm in some kind of weird funk. seems like with the warm weather that i wake up with my nose all dry..and i have a headache first thing in the morning! blah. i wonder tho, is it possible to become addicted to aleve? bc i'm taking it just about every day! geez. i made that card up there ^^ today for laura's birthday...i'm diggin it. i like the tulle the most i think. or maybe i like the chick skull. i dont know. oh..and if you wanna know where i picked her up..check this place out. seriously IN LOVE with their stuff. for reals.
so the challenge from sophia today is to blog 10 emotions and why..so heres mine:
- worried--bc a week from this friday i'm flying out to see my mom. and i'm worried about how my girls will be while i'm gone..
- scared--to fly in the airplane. lol. i'm sooo freaking afraid of heights its not funny. and i've flown before..but never alone. wish me luck!
- anxious--bc i think i might get lost at LAX and miss my connecting flight
- excited--olivia is almost done with her first year of school! and that means that maya will be starting pre-k in just a few months!
- hot--is that an emotion? well anyways, thats how i'm feeling right now bc its about 80 stinkin degrees in my house!
- thoughtful--all these ideas, thoughts, emotions are just running thru my mind all day. but mostly at night, which makes it hard for me to sleep. or think. go figure.
- sad--whenever i think about my mom. im trying to stay positive. but sometimes a girl just needs to feel sad, kwim? just simmer in it. let it sink in. think it through.
- hopeful--that eventually my mojo will be back really fast. bc i miss it so. as do all my scrappies.
- reclusive--so i'm noticing a pattern lately..i'm not connecting. like with art, with c..or even with k. and sometimes even with my mom. or my kids. blech. i dont know whats happening with me right now. i just wish i could fast forward thru it and get to my old self again. i know its not them. its me. i just have some heavy shit going on right now.
- bitchy--yep. that probably should've been number one...bc yeah. i'm totally bein a beotch from hell lately. grr to that. maybe im just bored so i resort to bein that way. i dunno. need to think on that one lol.
man..i dont know if realized how negative i'm feeling..but maybe this was a good thing. recognizing you know. gotta check myself before i wreck myself!
peace.

blessed..
comments and sent emails/posted on the mb. it really
meant a lot to have the support of all of you..knowing
that i was not the only one praying for my mom. it really
did make a difference :)
friday she had her surgery..it lasted about 4 hours; they
removed the tumor, her ovaries, uterus and her appendix.
the dr has sent out samples of the tumor to find out exactly
what type of cancer it was--the masses on her ovaries were ovarian
cancer, but the tumor was something different.
anyways...she is in extremely good spirits :) and has been
up and walking around since saturday afternoon!
and i'm happy to report that i have found a way
to get down there and see her and neither of us can wait!!
i also wanted to send out my condolences to jen gallacher and
family. i'm so so sorry for the loss of sweet joey. hes been on
my mind so much the last few weeks. i pray that he went in
peace.

que hora es?

the routine..
for me..its complicated of course lol. my schedule/routine changes when i have to work
but, i still try to have a routine anyways. get olivia up for school, feed/play with maya..help olivia with homework; check my email, mommy board and pea :D and somewhere in there i manage to do some laundry and maybe dishes lol. yes, i'm lazy and would rather indulge myself/and the girls with much more fun things than chores ;) everyday for lunch i either have a turkey sandwich or a pb&j. maya always has bologna. she is a child of routine! its pretty funny actually. every morning she has either toast or a bagel--never ever cereal. nope, no way. she wont hear of it.
olivia on the other hand, likes to have variety..everyday she likes to have a different kind of cereal, or maybe a poptart. and for lunch she likes different things too--sometimes she'll have bologna..but its really more of a last resort. her first choice is always a quesadilla, or mac n cheese, sometimes pb&j. and lately shes been liking hot pockets lol. but never leftovers. try as i might, she wont touch them. can't really say i blame her tho, i hate leftovers too. dont know why..but i do. i guess she gets that from me huh? once its about 4pm..i start doing more housework, since thats about the time i need to start getting dinner ready and making sure art is up (yes, hes still working nights! grrr) we usually sit down to eat dinner about 5:30-6 so that art can leave about 6:45ish. then its just me and the girls again. sometimes we'll watch tv together, but thats getting pretty rare. they'd rather listen to music and get rowdy since i usually try to keep them pretty quiet while art sleeps. and let me tell you..it aint easy keeping 2 girls quiet for that long lol. by 8:30 they are pretty tuckered..and they head to bed. then i get a little bit of time to myself before i head to bed at around 11ish. i used to sb at night..but lately i've not been in the mood so i've been organizing instead hehe.
so yeah. thats my days in a nutshell. nothing exciting. but its my life. and i love it. :) i love that i get to be home with my girls most days..just chillaxin. thats the best.
