Isn't it Amazing How THINGS Can Take Over....

Your life?

I haven't been blogging very much lately. As a matter of fact, I have neglected my blog! I am going to try and do a better job from now on!

I seem to have taken on much more than I should have in the past month. OK....school started back and I teach, so that was something that I couldn't control. I am in grad school and I only take 6 hours per semester...so that is not too bad.

My problems seem to come in with me not being able to say NO...when asked to do something & with challenges and swaps on all these boards that I frequent regularly. Then there are some other issues that have prevented me from being on as much as I like...such as some computer problems and the like.

I can't say I have learned to say no yet! But, I have learned to keep my mouth shut and my hand down when asked for volunteers!!

I have "slapped" my hand a couple times lately about swaps that I would see and make myself close out the computer and walk away before I could sign up for them! So I guess things will get better!!

Thanks for letting me rant!!!

Newly Converted Scrapbooker

This layout was done tonight by my 10 year old granddaughter, Airrin! She took to scrapbooking like a duck to water! I didn't have to explain much before she took off and was going without any assistance!

For your viewing pleasure, here is another layout that she did tonight as well!!



Airrin says, "This is a picture of my daddy."

Summer Break is Over!!!

At least for me it is! I will start back to school tomorrow! Back to writing lesson plans and teaching all those 3rd graders entrusted to my care during the school day!

I really am quite excited that it is time to go back....I have had about all the free time I can handle!

In two weeks, I will even start my classes that I am taking to complete my graduate degree!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer! I know I have!!

New Look for my blog!!!

OK...I guess I was bored this morning or someone left me to my own devices for waaayyy too long! I had to go and change something...it just happened my blog caught it!

Actually, I've been wanting to do something different with it! Many thanks to Kim Jensen for the blog header that she provided as a freebie on her blog.

What do you think? Is is too bright?
