Happy Mother's Day

Hope all the mothers are enjoying their special day!
Laying low as I managed to catch the stomach flu bug Curtis presented with on Friday. Yesterday was my day to spend in the bathroom! Just seem to be gurgling today!
The grandkids stopped by with some little plants for my garden!
It is so nice that I had to go out and pull the dead stuff out and really water it down! That dirt is so dry it will hardly turn over! I also trimmed back a bush drastically! I would prefer if Tim would just dig it up for me!

This is what my Mother's Day cards were like this year.
A pail full of Hollyhocks!

End of the Week

Friday has arrived and it is chilly out.  It has been overcast most of the day.  The contractor was to start on the roof, but didn't want to pull shingles off, if it was going to rain. 
Have got to work a few hours this week and they just called to see if I would take call for the nurse that is on flight call tomorrow.  And they forgot to call and cancel me the other day when the person I was relieving was on fatigue hours.  They were wondering why I showed up.  Slightly frustrating. 

I have done a little creating,  not as much as I wanted, but some.  I did make cards today.  I needed to make a Mother's Day card to send to Curtis' step mum. 

Layout is of Nic last summer roasting marshmallow to make Smores.  He lost a tooth yesterday, so his 2 top teeth are missing.  So awkward!!!

Papers are from MME, Crate Paper, and American Craft- Dear Lizzy
Lots of sequins along the bottom.
I believe the mini letters are Basic Grey.

Lots of 5's in today!
And I did eat left over Taco Salad for lunch to celebrate Cinqo de Mayo.  That's about as far as the celebrating gets in this household!
Dragging my butt a little today, as I worked all day yesterday.  And I was busy.  I put on a few miles around the unit.  It's been a few weeks since I put in a 12 hour shift and I can feel it today.
But I did manage to get the laundry done, clean my bathrooms and change the sheets on the bed.  So not too shabby. 
Had a message from a gal a work- can I work tomorrow pm from 2-6?  Getting in hours while I can.  Will do the same on Thursday for someone else. 
Picked up Harlee after school and chauffeured her home.
Got my work done so I can sit and create a little. 

A little layout I created of our princess.

NSD- The Day After!

Yesterday was National Scrapbook Day! Only important if you scrapbook your precious memories!

But I didn't get much scrapping in. I got to watch 2 young men that are very near and dear to my heart.
Kirsten called from uptown! They were at "Cruisin the Drag"! The boys had had enough and could I cone and get them? I knew I would get Coop, but Nic had had enough too. Nic got involved in playing Mind Craft! I went out with Cooper. He loves the play center Curtis built!












He ate a huge lunch. Cuddled up with nana on the couch after I put a movie on and crashed for 2 1/2 hours. When he woke up he watched the Kentucky Derby with me. Their folks came around dinner time!

So I scrapbooked today!

May Day

May 1- and another month has come around!!  Guess that is what happens when you leave town for a couple of weeks.  That means 1/3 of this year has sped by!!!  Oh, no- the year is whizzing right by me. 

This week I can chalk up to not getting much done with Curtis being sick.  He is much, much better and we are both still pooped out. 

But I have managed to get our lawn mowed.  The grass is so, so dry considering it is only the beginning of May.  I will have to get Curtis to get our hoses out and do some watering. 

I did get all the bills payed.  I did vacuum through.  I haven't been a total slacker this week.  And I tried to work a shift. 

I hope I can get to everyone's blog over the weekend and catch up.
And tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day.  I will be playing at home.  And maybe watching Mr. C. for a bit.  

I did play in my scrap space today.  And this is what I came up with.
