I just decided to relax and get some of my supplies unzip and organized. Blythe and I are getting ready for the ADSR 4 that starts tomorrow. I made the blinkie and finally got it done tonight. *blush* I ran a little behind on that. I am going to add it to the side bar and link it to our ADSR blog, but don’t worry I will be posting all the ADSR stuff here too so you can see it. You won’t miss out. Alot has been happening and I know that I’ve sorta  been MIA and my blog has been neglected but I promise I will be back! I just had so much happen in real life I had to take some time off-line to deal with all of that. It’s hard, but we all get through it. We are NEVER given more then we can handle… and I know that… So I know I can get through all of this… Anyhow… here’s our team blinkie:

Isn’t that adorable? I love it. I used all Blythe’s goodies. You can see her Oscraps store here. Just in case you haven’t been by Jodie’s Oscraps store check her’s out too. She added some awesome New Year & Geek Word Art that is so awesome for everyone!! She’s also got an awesome Buy My Store deal right now!! Who doesn’t love her WA!!! And just a little plug for me… If you are looking for some custom promotional products, be it a blinkie for your shoppe, a service you offer, personal use or you need a race blinkie feel free to check out the links on the right in the sidebar for those service. I would be more then happy to help you out with a blinkie, siggy or banner. Just let me know!! My services are priced way less then most!! On that note… I will see you tomorrow with our first race layout!!!

It’s the last post of 2008! And let me tell you it won’t be a very lively post LOL… Take out your travel insurance as you ride into 2009 with me!! LOL I don’t have too much to say. The kids are driving me INSANE and I can’t wait for them to go back to school. SOON!! Monday!! What a lovely day that will be!! They are doing pretty good, but it’s getting to be were they fight more then they play and they really just need the structure of school again. So I a break. I’ve slept more of the days away then anything! Thank god my hubby has had some time off. I need the help! LOL

Happy New Year to my Readers!! Have a safe and Happy 2009!!

Well Christmas has arrived and it was nothing short of a holiday like any other in this house… a little chaos, a lot of gifts (read spoiled rotten children), too much food, and the need for a whole day after to recover. I have been off the computer for so many days it has been unreal. It’s crazy here this time of the year. I literally HATE the hustle and bustle of the holiday. The extra running around, the extra crowds EVERYWHERE, the extra prices of everything… it’s a hassle. I am glad it’s all over. Honestly, I like the holiday in general, I just think that *WE* Americans have way commercialized it and it’s too much. Some commercialization is good, but we far over do it.

We’ve decided next year that we are going to do names on hubby’s side with a $10.00 maximum. Now in order for you to fully understand how incrediably FUN this is going to be you HAVE to know the family. We are all a little crazy, we all are VERY creative. You can expect gifts like a toliet plunger, a can of glade and something to read while doing to job… You’d be suprised what $10.00 can do and we are all so fun and creative this will be very fun!! I just know it!! I can’t wait… and plus it will be so much easier on everyone. Rather then buying for the WHOLE family we will only have 1 person EACH to buy for. I think this will be MUCH easier on EVERYONE. And I can’t wait to have fun with it!! It will be ALOT of fun!!

I feel like I need saftey equiptment to walk through my living room at this point. The kids scored Rock Band 2 - the whole nine yards… guitars, drums, microphones, etc for the PS3 for Christmas. They are so crazy and they really get into it. They jump around. They really get going. And when hubby and my brother are here playing too it’s serious!! You could REALLY get hurt. I tried… I failed miserably. It’s not my kind of game and I am not coordinated enough to make it work!! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends that are celebrating. If you already celebrated I hope your meal was yummy and filled with goodies, if you have yet to celebrate just think of the yummy thing to come!! For those of you that don’t celebrate, I still hope you have a blessed day.

It is with sad heart that I make this post. My dear Grandma Pearl has earned her Angel wings today. She passed through Heaven’s gates shortly after 12:30pm this afternoon. She was so couragous these last few weeks but she just couldn’t fight anymore. As much as I want to understand it breaks my heart and Thanksgiving will never be the same. Please send a prayer for us if you have a second. It’s a lot of heartache. Since our meal was already cooking when we got the news we will eat dinner at 3pm and then we will gather together to remember and celebrate her. This is a day I will never forget. *sigh*
