Exasperated

I need about 7 more hours in my day! There just isn't enough time for me to do all that I want and need to do. Or better yet I need to learn how to say NO! I worked in the ER today for the first time in over a year. And now I am back at work. My allergies have been in full throttle this week. Seems we have mold in the hangar. I have been hacking and sniffling nonstop this weekend. No appetite at all for the past few days and just feeling blah! I have ordered my new Harry Potter book. I was thinking I would get it yesterday but didn't. I am also in the middle of the Yada Yada prayer group books. I am getting excited about vacation. My family really needs some special time together. I think I have seen my husband all of 10 hours maybe this week. Nobodies fault but my own. Well I washed my cell phone this morning. Guess where I am going in the morning? Alltel! Nice! I am not looking forward to dealing with them at all! Well I leave you with the photo of what I have inhaled. It is the petri dish of mold we grew in the hangar here. I would venture to say it is positive. It has about grown the lid off of the dish. So I leave you with that as I go hack some more.

Scrapper Girl is back in da house!

I don't know what happened but my creative juices are starting to flow again. I finished 2 pages I started last night. The first one was a challenge for my LSS using a kit provided by Shannon.



This second page is of my sweet friends daughter Taylor. She is so beautiful. Like her mama! I used the June kit from Faith Based Pages. Just added some chipboard letters. This also was a scraplift from a challenge at The Scrapbook Site.
Thanks for looking.

On a roll!




Well it is definitely back to work for me. No days off this week. Trying to save up money to reduce credit card debt and have money for beach. I am working today a 24 hour shift. I just completed a mini album for my ex-mother-in-law. It was something simple I wanted to do for her.
I am really enjoying my part time job. The foster mother is so genuine and frank which I admire. The boy has really touched my heart.
We have been finally putting pictures up on the wall and dh even bought a sofa table to put in our foyer. It only took a year but we are getting lots done. I don't know what it is. I surely ain't nesting but I have been so productive lately. Getting Emmas clothes organized and removing stuff that is too small or no longer being used. Cleaning the clutter in my bedroom. I have had a hard time getting back in a scrapping mood since my return. I just don't want to take anything for granted anymore. Well thanks for listening. Have a blessed week.

Happy Fourth of July




Well I made it home Sunday morning at 6 am. About half of our group became ill with flu like symptoms. I have only incurred allergies. Due to there being no air conditioner I slept with my windows open and the fan blowing. Spiritual warfare was strong there. Satan knew what our intent was and he tried to place obstacles in our path. But God reigned supreme. He had bigger plans. This 4th seems surreal after being in Brazil. The liberties we have we take for granted. Our country is such a rich country compared to so many others. Seeing those kids living in the conditions they are in with diseases, lack of running water, no electricity, and running the streets begging for money to eat their next meal makes me so grateful for what I have. I wanted to bring those kids home with me. Didn't think that would work with Customs? LOL I can't wait to see those people again. I tell ya I luv them. That was an experience I won't soon forget. Hard to think about scrappin after doing that. And you know it takes alot to make me forget about scrapping. I hope you enjoy the photos. I took almost 300 photos.
