P52 week 4

jen — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:51:05 +0000

This past week was a bugger. I wasn’t going to do anything because I hadn’t really taken many photos and just really didn’t want to “play life”. Then I figured well, might just as well scrap about “REAL” life. I hate doing it but isn’t that WHY I’m doing it? I know. I’m such and oxymoron its not funny. ;D

I battle with insomnia. I have ever since my medical issues/hospital stay in 2010. Not that I’ve ever slept well in my life. Here’s how I feel about it this week:

Week 3

jen — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:26:18 +0000

I was under the weather this week so I found taking photos to be a little harder…mostly cause being sick makes me so unmotivated in general. The big thing that happened this week was that Laney dropped her tablet and cracked the face. It was a bad moment. It still works and it is just in the corner so it could have been a lot worse. Corey was pretty mad…I think mostly cause she’s exactly like him! ;D

Oh and the robins have returned. I heard them 2 weeks ago. Actually saw a couple this past week. Seems early to me…but maybe it’s just me. Great sign that spring is coming tho! ;D

Week 2

So the second week was a little harder to “be intentional” about taking photos. But I like it! ;D

Best part about this week: both girls got parts in the school play. ;D

December Daily 2011 wrap up

jen — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:06:57 +0000

We managed to keep one thing a surprise for Christmas for the kids. It was the xbox 360 kinect. ;D Somehow they knew about pretty much every other gift. Next year we need to do a better job of hiding.

I am stopping my December Daily at the 25th. I made it. Not going to push thru the rest of the month. That would be just asking for failure. ;D

December Daily days 17-19

It is snowing out today. It makes it feel more Christmas-y. I don’t know why…but it does. ;D

Winter Break

The girls are on their winter break. I’m happy to have them home with me all day. Ask me that again in two weeks. ;D

Here’s my December Daily days 14-16…

I found a big phone.

I have a funny story about Laney and Christmas presents.

It requires a little back info.

She is getting a Tablet for Christmas. She’s been wanting one for awhile now. Everytime we go into any store that has an electronic section she HAS to play with the various iPad products.

The other thing you need to know is I have a smart phone. It looks pretty much like a small tablet. I found a really good pic online to compare. Of course I would have taken one myself but I went looking for the tablet just now and Corey has “hidden” it…and you will see why as you read further. Pic found courtesy of this site.

I’m a VISUAL person…so just visualize these two things…my phone and the “future” tablet that Laney may-or-may-not-be-getting-for-Christmas as we say around here. Corey…please don’t send links to the actual products. That’s not the point of the story. Because no, I don’t have a Samsung phone, and I don’t know what the brand of tablet Corey got. Just picture the photo above. ;D

The other day I “lost” my phone. This is the time when I probably should have installed this app. But alas I haven’t so Laney and I are searching all over the house for it. Corey was not around to call it so I could find it…and it was on vibrate anyway. It frequently is.

So Laney is searching all over the house…in the usual places I leave it. She was being a good helper for her mamma. I wasn’t thinking anything of it and she was looking around in our bedroom. She opened Corey’s bedside table and then I heard this voice from the bedroom say, “Well…I found a BIG phone!”

I told her to close that right away and come here! She sat there looking at me with this “deer in the headlights” look.

“Laney. What did you see in there?”

“It wasn’t a big phone was it.”

“No. I’m so sorry, Laney. You weren’t supposed to see that.”

Silence.

“Is Christmas ruined for you?”

A very long pause…

“No.” she said. “At least I know I’m getting an “iPad” for Christmas! DON’T tell Dad I saw it. He’ll be really mad!”

I told her she had to not say anything about it and act surprised on Christmas.

She hasn’t breathed a word since. ;D

Dec Daily 2011 Days 9-13

jen — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:03:50 +0000

I’m here to post several December Daily pages. Again…I can’t tell you how much I love the format this year. It is very stress free! ;D Plus kinda beautiful if I do say so myself.

Just one photo

jen — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:35:24 +0000

I really like just picking one photo from the day and having that be the photo I go with for my daily pic. Like last night was Laney’s open house at dance class but I could only pick one photo (if I’m going to continue with this year’s DD theme). It was fun picking one that represented the whole evening, in my opinion. ;D
