Happiness is....

~~ Going thru your baby's bag (can I please still call him a baby?) after (another) long, hard, stressful day at work.... and finding this:


I love G-man's teachers....I have a million thoughtful pieces of 'art' like this - so many that I could build several scrapbooks. If I had that kind of time. Maybe instead I'll scan the good ones and make a photobook online... hmmm....

~~ having your boss's boss stop by your desk at 6pm... knowing you'd still be at work... to tell you that he knows the special 'situation' you're dealing with at work...that the time and effort you're putting in is not going unnoticed.... that your presence on the team is changing everything... and that he's proud of you. (WOW!!! This is huge! And went a long way in easing my exhaustion/frustraton/anger/sadness over what's been going on at work!)

~~ coming home late from work to find that Mr. Fix-It has gotten crafty and made a yummy dinner that smells like comfort....
.
~~ finally finishing a work project before 10pm! Tomorrow night will likely be a later night... but at least it's a day from Friday, right? And - I've said this a million times before, but - I really think that if I can make it thru this work week, it's going to get better....

Bless your heart! It sounds like you are seriously overloaded right now. But thank the good Lord for a sweet supportive hubby, thoughtful teachers, and a boss' pat on the back to keep you going!!! I hope things slow down soon. I have to say, I think you rock girl! I don't think I could do all that you do. And even though you call it a "semi homemade life"...I think it's pretty darn awesome. And you should pat yourself on the back. I am amazed by all that you can accomplish and do! You go girl.

Oh and about those pumpkins with holes? I would start by cleaning them out, then using a drill with different sized bits to give it the look of random polka dots in various sizes. I can't wait to try it this year. I have dozens of fall ideas in my inspiration file that I've been WAITINg to try. I'm a freak and will probably start with all that September 1st. I know some may think it's weird, but I LOVE it!

Have a wonderful day

Isn't is great to finally get the recognition you deserve at work. Congratulations!!!!

Also, I did the scanning and online photobook thing last Christmas with my daughters art work and it turned out great. It emptied out her memory box for more things. Of course, I will keep a few things. But my husband I and both love her "Art Book"
