LOL!
Seriously...it feels like FOREVER since I have scrapped. In reality, it has only been a little over two weeks. But to just sit down and scrap...for no reason...not for a CT, not for SOY, not for anything other than my own scrapping pleasure and treasuring the little things in life? FOREVER. And I have missed it.
But wanting to scrap meant actually finding the desk in my office! Over the past month or some my office/scrap room has gotten out of control! And when things like that overwhelm me, I just avoid it at all costs. Most days I haven't even been turning on my computer...I have just used Jason's! Now that is bad!
So after a failed nap attempt this afternoon I made myself go in and clean it up and organize. How wonderful it feels! I actually know where things are! I don't feel trapped. So once I got my happy space happy again, I finally unzipped some materials I have had for a while. And then I just picked some pictures I loved and scrapped. Felt so good!

Sooo...our first day of homeschooling went great! It was short because a lot of it was just review, but we both seemed to enjoy ourselves. I am looking forward to a week or two in when we start getting to the new stuff. Love seeing little minds growing!

Since it is a home weekend for the boys we only have a few hours off tonight (instead of the whole evening and morning tomorrow). Not sure what our plans are for the day/night yet. Being together -- that is for sure! Tomorrow my dad comes and we head down to Boca Raton to see my almost-99-year-old grandmother. She isn't doing very well so I really need to go and say my goodbyes. Sad.
Hope your Thursday is a good one!
Beautiful pages, Janet!

Beautiful pages, and wonderful journaling on all of them!
You should do a homeschooling blog---I'll bookmark it, lol! It's always been a dream of mine to homeschool my kids, but it's just not done here in my country. Oh well. I do it over the summers when I can, and I live vicariously through people such as you who do it! :)
