I am living proof...

...that MURPHY'S LAW is alive and well!  For those of you unfamiliar with the term, simply put, it states that

"things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance"

or

"If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way."

or

"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"

or

"Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way"

Take your pick...and then know that I am their poster child :)

*******

Actually, I say all of this tongue-in-cheek.  I am really not upset.  I am actually finding all the little things that seem to going wrong somewhat amusing.  Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, maybe it is just that I have gained perspective, maybe it IS amusing.  But really, I am still proof that 'ol Murphy must have known what he was talking about.  If it can go wrong, it will (at least in my life this week! LOL!)

So, sorry I didn't pop in yesterday.  I actually just had a long post explaining the ins and outs of my utter exhaustion from one solid week of go, go, go along with the sad stories of a stomach bug that will not leave out house (well, it leaves for a few days and then returns at the most inopportune moments).  But, since this is "chuckle at Janet's misfortune week" the power cut off for a split second and TypePad hasn't enabled an automatic draft saving and so I lost it all.  Okay though...just me whining a little about yet more vomit that had to be cleaned up and how all of this cannot be good on a body that is eight months pregnant.  I won't bother going there again...it was therapeutic just to type it out the one time.

I spent yesterday taking it as easy as possible. I tried to do very little that required physical activity or brain power.  Of course life had to throw in a couple of injuries due to smashing my toe into the train table -- TWICE! -- and had to include cleaning up vomit out of Levi's crib -- TWICE -- while the other two kids slept soundly and obliviously in the same room!  Life.  Just life.  There are always good days and bad days.

Thankfully, I had my grab bag all done and packaged.  I don't think I could have handled having to finish that up in the midst of everything else.  So, late last night it went into my shop.  I had a lot of fun with this one and it has been SO FUN to see what my new creative team has done with it.  I LOVE seeing people's "takes" on the templates.  Here is a sample of their awesome talent!

Some seriously great stuff.  They inspire me to want to scrap! So, if you want them, HERE they are!

I also FINALLY changed out my DEAL OF THE DAY offerings at SBG.  So head on over.

Well, I have just been informed by "Diego" that "I hurt Boots" so I have some tears to wipe and kisses (and discipline) to be given.  But I do have one quick public service announcement.  I have been stalking SCRAPBOOK PICTURES waiting to see what kind of sale they would have this month and all their square prints are on sale.  8x8's are $1.49 ($.50 off).  Their last sale was last April so you may want to do some printing.  I loaded my albums yesterday hoping for a sale.  I'll order today!
