The deliberations, ramblings, ponderings and sometimes humorous accounts of an addicted Digi scrapper and mother.

Name: Sue Jones
Location: Australia

I am a mother, a partner, a scrapper, a designer, a taxi driver, a spell checker etc etc and apparently life 'began' for me on my birthday two years ago. *edited to add*: It has been brought to my attention that some people don't understand what I mean by 'Life began for me last year'. It is just a polite way of telling you how old I really am as there is a saying here in Australia that "Life Begins at 40".

Another boring update

Well really, that's about what life has become like lately. Same old same old. Work, home, sleep.
Seriously, I am always tired. The past two weeks have been ridiculous. When I haven't been working, I've been sleeping. I've also got the bugs that are going around work. To quote one of my managers yesterday 'They're dropping like flies'. Sounds funny but it's not. It's leaving us short staffed. So yesterday (on a day when I'm not supposed to have clients and just be available to help everyone with craft) I was assigned a client for the day. Let me tell you it is hard to give undivided attention to a client and also run a craft class at the same time.
Anyway..... onto my 10 random facts. Next week, I promise photos.....

1. Miss Seven has been struggling at school and is generally not that happy. We have spoken to her teacher who suggested that we get her eyes tested. The result? Miss Seven is waiting for her glasses to come back. She is getting two pair - one for home and one for school. They are to be used when reading, watching tv, computer and school work. They are really cool looking glasses and she chose the rims in purple!
2. Mr19 is doing well. I know he reads this blog so I won't say anything that might upset him. lol We really are proud of him. We just hope that this year is going to be a life changing time for him. And he better be keeping his room clean too!
3. My baby girls are going well. Miss Amelia is getting bigger every day. She is a different baby now that she has had her reflux diagnosed and we are treating it. She is so much more settled and happy. She 'chats' to us now and watches us when we're talking to her. Miss Ava is a two foot wrecking machine. But you can't help but smile. She climbs on everything and not even putting things high guarantees their safety.
4. The New Mum and her man have just become engaged.
5. The painting of the house has stalled. The room for Miss Seven has been painted but that is as far as we have got. Time just seems to disappear these days. I work every second weekend so that makes it harder also. It seems that my days off rarely coincide with the MOTH's RDO's. I am looking for a colour for the kitchen/dining area. And I've been told that if I want to paint the back bedroom again then I do it myself. Guess it's gonna stay yellow with butterflies and flowers around the top.
6. I'm actually finding a bit of time to read in the past couple of weeks. I've finished The Second Sons trilogy by Jennifer Fallon and now I'm starting on my pile of Kathy Reich's books.
7. I'm still doing Project 365. I sometimes miss a day but make it up by taking a photo relevant to the day later. I'm hoping to catch up with the layouts this weekend.
8. The scrap shop closes it's doors this weekend. I went in the other day to spend more money. The MOTH just shrugs and says 'How much did you spend this time'? And then asks where I'm going to put it all. But I can't pass up paints for $1.95 or brush pens for around the same price. I even got a 6x6 album for $5 the other day. Some good bargains to be sure.
9. Miss Seven has joined her school choir. She seems to be having a great time. She has also gone back to dancing this year. Although I work on a Thursday so the MOTH has been taking her to classes and organising costumes and dance shoes.
10. Well I'd best be off. When I get home from work this afternoon we are heading down the Gold Coast. We have booked a unit at Burleigh Heads for the weekend and I am so hanging out for it. So I have to go and pack our bags and organise stuff before I head out the door for work for the day. This is gonna be so much fun.

I agree Sue, life is just to busy. I turn around and the day has gone and I have hardly got anything done. I hope that your weekend away was beautiful.
I am trying to use up my paper supplies I had them out on the table today, I have so much. We are hoping to have a scrapping day on a Monday. Are you free on Mondays?
