Saw this on another blog and I thought it would be a great way to play a little catchup with everything that is going on around here.

The Good:

• Tomorrow I am GOING AWAY with some friends to the beach! It is going to be moms only and a great chance to relax refresh and take a little break from everyday life as a momma!
• I AM FEELING BETTER! *sigh* It has been a long long long SIX WEEKS of trying to recover from medication withdrawl, but hallelujah! It is done.
• I have FOURTEEN thank you cards to make, for FOURTEEN amazing friends that have really been there for me through all of this. I am SO BLESSED with so many amazing people in my life. It is incredible.

The Bad:

• Well, I’ve got a bit of catchup to do around here… and I have to admit, now that every thing is said and done I’m feeling a bit of guilt about all the stuff I’ve let drop. (Not to mention I have FOURTEEN thankyou cards to make – I’m half way there!)
• I’ve been thinking (always a bad thing right?) and I can see pretty clearly at this point that it is time to grow up and take a little more responsibility in my life (and a little more credit too!). I’m 25, only 25, but I’m 25 – my life is my own, and I’ve built my family to what it is… time to stop using my age as an excuse, and grow up. I can do it, right?
• I have too many friends that are going through really rough times, and it breaks my heart. Good people deserve good things, and all the happiness in the world… I wish I were capable of making it all better. The hardest part for me is that a cup of hot cocoa or a hand made card wont change things and I don’t know what to do.

The Ugly

• Its all too clear to me that I’m a MESS! I’ve spent the past six weeks eating ALL the time and gaining weight – my clothes are all also just falling apart on me, and I know I need to start investing more in my own person – but man I’d so rather get a digi kit and a coffee than go try to buy myself new clothes and even consider spending money on a hair cut.

And here for a little eye candy is my latest Layout:

Every, time you get out of the tub we do the same thing. First, you have me wrap you up in a towel, Then I have to carry you to your bed because you are “so cold!” then, you cuddle under your blankets and cozy into and cute little ball of clean. I love how you look so sweet so cozy and how it just brings me back to when you were a little baby wrapped up after a bath – Every time, I just want to eat you up!

Jessica Bolton is my FAVORITE! Gosh, everytime I use one of her kits I just feel like it is perfect for me. I dream of the day that she puts out a CT call! Seriously you have to check her kits out if you haven’t already at Eclectic Scraps.

Last but not least, if you’ve scraped with the sugar babes and haven’t gotten your free stapms let me know – I know my links were being funky. I’d be happy to resend. And ofcourse it’s never too late! Jump on in!

Okay everyone, have a great weekend!
