I actually accomplished something!

Yes, I did. And it is something I enjoy doing. My hubby took the kids for me a few hours Saturday night and this afternoon so that I could scrapbook. I had a blast.

He bought me a set of Christmas albums at our local Hobby store so being in the spirit I began scrapping our Christmas photos. Her are a few examples of my work.

I haven't scrapped like this in a while and I am working on using different styles. This one was really fun to do.

I know I need to work on taking better photos of my scrapbooks but these were rushed. I plan on completing the Christmas layouts up to this year by Christmas. I guess we shall see.

Well, I must turn in now. I have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to my dentist appointment to see what is wrong with this root canal. My dentist is sending me to a specialist. Wish me luck!

An Encouraging Moment.

I thought today was going to end up being pretty rough. I was up most of the night with a tooth ache. I was not happy, especially because this tooth isn't suppose to ache at all. I got a root canal in it several months ago and every time my sinus acts up it gets inflamed and throbs. I called my dentist and have to call again tomorrow to see if they can work me in. It hurt bad enough I can't eat anything I have to chew. This happened once before I after antibiotics and pain pills it went away but I don't think that a root canal should hurt like this.

Anywho, my moment happened tonight while I was at Wally World with my family. My son and I ran into his first grade teacher. Now, we were crazy about her. She was so sweet and TT learned so much with her. She asked how we were doing and TT told her all about the Grinch unit we were doing including the cave lapbook. She was truly interested and so supportive.

Well, I have to say all of this was a shock to me. I have known this lady for 5 years and I know she was very sincere in her praise and support. It just came from a very unexpected place. Up until now most of my ps teacher friends have not been very supportive of my choice to homeschool. But it was so encouraging, and I thank her for that.

On another note, I had the first person to quiz my child tonight. A lady at my daughter's dance class told her granddaughter that Poogie was homeschooled. Then she started quizzing Poogie about stuff. I was a little shocked. Poogie just kind of looked at her and after the first question she quit answering. I didn't ask her to respond and finally the lady got the hint. I guess this was an evening of firsts!

Another weekend has come and gone.

I sit here and wonder where did my weekend go? Saturday was spent in town with my mom Christmas shopping. We had fun and I got some good deals on Christmas gifts.

Then that evening my hubby the kids and I went back to town. Hubby wanted to go to a local craft store to pick up a Cuddlebug for me for Christmas. For those of you that don't scrapbook it is a small die cutter and embosser. Anywho, the store had the tickets out that you took to the register to purchase them but when we got there they told us they were out of stock. Well take the tickets down then, easy as that. We still had a good night, we went to eat and shopped some more.

Today my hubby had pity for me and took the kids for several hours so that I could scrapbook and just spend some time alone. It was quite nice. I got a a few layouts done or almost done.

Unfortunately, we had to go back to town to take my mom grocery shopping, so I picked up my stuff too. We just arrived home a few hours ago. Since then I have been putting up some meat I got on a good sale and putting all the other stuff away. I don't know which I dislike more going to the grocery store or putting the stuff away. Plus of course we had to have drama at bedtime in our house due to a little girl who didn't get a much needed nap today. So I am turning in and will hopefully get a good nights rest to start the week out fresh.
