OASIS

Can you imagine being stranded on a deserted island for 10 days?? I certainly can. This week's This Is Me Journal page was to list the items you would need to survive on this island. Here are my items (in no particular order), and I hope I can survive:
toothbrush & tooth paste
ipod
soap
janet evanovich/stephanie plum novel
sunscreen
lipbalm
margaritas
almonds
scrap goodies
lounge chair
camera
fresh fruit
bathing suit flip flops
My problem is that I would miss the madness after 5 days and start to go stir crazy! Think about it, what would you need on a deserted island? Happy dreams.

FULL house

Whew!!! Finally the end of a very long week. Ryan and his friend have returned to Wesleyan and Chris and the kiddies go back to school tomorrow. I have cooked and cleaned for an entire week with no break, and my house still looks like a train wreck.

I was on edge all week, and just grumpy and over whelmed. I was angry at my family at times and just wished for once to be by myself.

Then we took the annual Christmas picture and all of those feelings vanished. As I look at these photos, I am reminded how lucky I really am. I am blessed with good health, 6 gorgeous children and a home that I would have never dreamed of having. Life is good, I just have to stop and look at it through rose colored glasses!

This layout was inspired by the One Little Word Challenge that I partake in. This week the word is FULL, I think it is perfect.

Christmas is Coming!!

Hooray!! Our favorite time of the year is here. Check in daily for updates and to take a peek into Mommy's Christmas Journal. She will try to update it daily. Have fun and enjoy the holiday hustle and bustle.
