My MoJo's back and you're gonna be in trouble!

Hey Now Hey Now, my mojo's back! I am SOOOO excited! I finally have my crafting mojo back and it feels sooooooo gooooooodd! This is the first real project I've done in almost 3 years...well the first one that it didn't take a ton of struggling to complete. :)

It only took me nearly 2 years....

but I FINALLY figured out how to use the cover for the back of my camera so I can take self portraits! Yes, I am fully aware that I should have known how to do this a long time ago and yes I'm also aware that it was not that hard, BUT in my defense-I didn't play with it enough to know how to use it because I'm too busy being the one taking the pictures AND the little cover was made by the devil! lol! Here's what I got...not great, but hey...I take what I can get!

I am lost no more

Just in case anyone still reads this thing, I figure I better post about my whereabouts. Well after a looooooong year, I am doing better. I am sorry if I worried anyone. I know of one person in paticular that I need to send a million appologies to and trust me...I will start sending them as soon as I can get logged in. :) I have no email addys, no numbers, no anything so if anyone is reading this please leave me a message so I can get a hold of you and we can catch up. I make no excuses for myself because the way I left is inexcusable. BUT, I hope once you all know what was going on you can forgive me for leaving the way I did. Things got way to much for me to handle and that's all I will give in detail for now. I will let you know what happened when I can get your email addys and let you know on a more personal level. Just know that I have thought about you all a lot and hope we can get back in touch soon. :)

Pageant Time!

Well today is THE day! Hannah's hair is in curlers, the dress is done, and everything is in the bag and ready to go. She has done so great at practice this week. I did make the mistake of telling her to just relax on Tuesday night and she started crying on me! LOL! She is having a lot of fun which I am so glad about. Some of those kids are highly stressed and so are their moms. My only stress is that I hope I did a good enough job on her dress and that it doesn't look like I made it. Tad's mom though I bought it at a bridal shop and Tad thinks it's beautiful. Hannah adores it so that's all that matters really. I think they're giving all the girls a little tiara of some sort and they all get a little goodie bag just for participating. So we will see how it goes...if Hannah will just relax and not be so nervous we''ll be doing great! :)

For Becky

Ok I was told that I need to update my blog. Even though I have updated more in July alone than I have since I started the stinkin' thing I will update, just to MAKE BECKY HAPPY!!!

Well let's see....I've been working on Hannah's pageant dress. It's getting to the point where you can feel the finished product in your hands. The "why can't I be done already" point. She's loving it so far and I'll post a picture of her in it as soon as I get it all done.

Kayleigh has one more week of games....it's tournaments this coming week and then she has All Stars next weekend. Then it's all over and no more PeeWee for her. It'll be kinda sad. She moves up to Minors and Hannah moves up to PeeWee. We're still going to coach TBall though because we don't want to miss coaching Brysen when he gets old enough in 3 years. Then we will have coached all three kids in TBall and offically coached for 7 years when it's all said and done. Who knows....maybe I'll talk Tad into coaching even after Brysen is done. I just love those little ones!

I got to Job Shadow yesterday. My Diagnostics instructor let me shadow her and I had an amazing time! She does Mammography which is what I'm considering for my second Major. It was so interesting and the images you can get are amazing! Oh and just a reminder!!! At 35 get a Mammogram so when you start getting them regularly at age 40 they have a base image to go from so they know what your "normal" breast tissue looks like! This is so, so, so important!!! We had a woman that should have had 11 done by now and hadn't. We noticed a small spot, but aren't sure if it's anything since we don't know what her normal breast tissue looks like! And no one will know until they call her back in to have another one done with more views! The base Mammogram is more important than most people know! Ok....I'll stop my preaching now. LOL!!

So there Becky....an updated post....happy now????? :o)

Just one...that's all I'm asking for...

just ONE decent shot of all three of the kids. I just need one...not 10, not 5, JUST ONE! Do you think I could get just one?? Of course not...whoever thinks it's easy to get 3 kids organized for a picture is clearly INSANE!

"OK, Hannah...you need to move over towards Kayleigh a little...."

"Great Hannah! Now if we can just get Brysen to actually look at the camera, that would be wonderful!"

"Kayleigh! Seriously?? Yawning?? You're KILLING me child!!!"

"Oh just forget it! I'll just deal with this one......I need a drink!!!"

I've been tagged!

I was checking out all my fav blogs and noticed that Becky (Acceber) tagged me on her blog! Not me by name, but she tagged everyone by city and mine was on there. So now I have to post 7 random things about me and then tag 7 other people. Amy...get ready because I'm tagging you! lol
