we have been buried. john's school has taken over the evenings. he is almost done with the semester and we are quite looking forward to the holiday break. yes! that's right...WE. i have struggled with giving him the time he needs to finish his work each week and i am continually trying to adjust to keeping mona and myself busy while he studies. this has proven to be hard after waiting all day for him to get home :) thankfully, he is patient with me.
we also have been buried with mona. who knew that adopting a pet would be just like stepping on a roller coaster. she has had me worried and upset all too often. if she would just quit eating stuff! two weeks ago it was a sock that messed her up pretty bad, then last week it was worms (she had worms...she didn't eat them), and this week she caught some kind of bug and has not been herself. is it sad that i long for the days when she is older, calm and lazy? :)
i went away last weekend with my mom and the porchicas. it was a wonderfully long weekend full of craftiness and laziness. can i tell you hard it has been to get back in the swing of things! it was so worth it though.
christmas is coming...i'm going to be ahead this year. i've already started!
i will post more often, at least that's what i keep telling myself...how else will i remember what these years were like? i've quit scrapbooking - but i'm starting to filter through some ideas to keep pictures more organized and printed. ready to finger through at any time. i haven't quite figured out what i want to do but a couple options are the year by year books that you can print, or a digital scrapbook, etc...if you have any ideas, i would love to hear!
I love Photobooks! I have this idea in my head that I'll make one for every year, so we'll always have pictures to remember. (Too bad I still need to finish 2009! only 2 years late...) It's so easy and I love how finished they come out without much effort from me, but I always disliked scrapbooking, so photobooks are a happy medium for me.
