long time no see

literally....
I've been gone for a while
We had a great time in Florida...we went to Orlando and Cocoa Beach
First was a stop at Disney World, we went to Downtown Disney, a movie with the Chip and Dale Chipmunks, a day at Magic Kingdom-Kenzie got to see her favorite princess dance with her prince, meet Woody and Jessie and ride on some fun rides...she also got a big hug from Mickey
The boys had the best time-we went on Thunder Mountain where I actually didn't bite anyone (bit my dad on that ride when I was 8) the haunted house, the magic carpet ride and more.
then we headed to Cocoa beach, we had such a wonderful room with sliding door to the deck that over looked the pool and beach...do you realize how nice it is to sleep with the the sliding doors allllll night! ahhhhhhh. The Ron Jon's resort is the place to be...movies, mini golf, big pool, play area, out door basketball hoop on the roof-the kids loved it
At Cocoa, we went to Kennedy Space Center-that was awesome, Jamison is doing his 3 grade Bio on Neil Armstrong so that was cool for him...most kids don't get up close and personal with their "person"
we went to the Ocean-the boys got to fly kites on the beach, Jordan couldn't get enough, it was to cold to swim but he made sure his feet stayed in that water as long as he could.
We got to see my dad-little disappointed in that but I won't go there right now
We rode the go karts and bumper cars-that was so much fun
ohhhhh and we ate at Chick-Fil-A...it was all it was "cracked" up to be :)
I will post pics tomorrow to catch up on my 365 photos but I know if you are reading this you either saw my pics on FB or a message board :)

Hold on to 16 as long as you can....

changes come around real soon make us woman and men-John Cougar

Yup-I seriously teared up listening to Jack and Diane-first I turned it up because its a great song but when that line came I got all teary...
why am I so emotional
why is change so hard for me lately
what the...
I had Jordan's Jr High orientation the other night and I had a lump in my throat the whole time...it was a weird feeling, I felt like I was going to hyperventilate, I felt so small in this big auditorium...I sat there hanging on every last word that the new principal said
we got up to take a tour I ran into a few other mom's that I knew that were taking the tour too (not a guided tour but just walk around) and they were all joking and laughing so it made me feel good
until I ran into some of the Jr Highers and they were taller than me ((grrr))
I'm usually not a emotional person when it comes to my kids growing up...I'm excited for them, I know Jordan is going to do great, he is super excited and so am I...so why so blue??? Let me know if you figure it out for me
is this a mid-life crisis
I am getting old, I need to face it! 40 is only 2.5 yrs away

EEEEEEK 2.5 YEARS AWAY!!!! panic attack setting in

coiming around

taking the freak closing really hit me hard
Not because I like to chat
Not because I have no where else to go
Not because I "need" a place
Not because I "need" friends

well maybe its all of the above or none
I'm starting to come back around where I feel more comfortable about chatting at other sites, I do have my guard up about opening up-Not sure why...its a weird feeling

I also thought "if I could just scrap better" "If I could just make a DT" "if I felt like I was good enough"
I asked someone to be my mentor, she agreed and then I thought "WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING"
who is going to see my work in the end---MY KIDS...are they really going to care if I used Basic Grey or just cardstock...are they going to care if I use the embossing technique or just cut out the paper, are they going to care if I came up with this awesome layout that no one ever thought of...probably not!
I need to scrap for me....for my family, for the memories, not what everyone else thinks


I will post some layouts here...you can comment or not, I would love positive feedback

and I will still try out for DT's :)
