(second post)

ETA!!!!....please pop by over to her blog (link in above post) and check out what she wrote about me!!.. i dont care what you say.. all i was doing was defending my MOTHER... you have taken too far like always..
and dont worry i have "little stories" to share.. but i would never lower myself!!
you get a life and dont ever bag mouth my family.....

Would you sit back.. or would you STAND UP for the people you LOVE!!!

This is meant to be the man that you LOVE.. that you want to spend the rest of your life with..

and you disrespect him but referring to his mother as this...
you have sunk to an all time low now....

back tomorrow... when im in a better mood.... :)

hope all is well

Jorja has been so sick this week with croup... My poor little angel.
been up with her most nights so both of us have had hardly any sleep.. Thank god its school holiday because i don't know i would have got Keenan to school on time.
Poor Keenan been stuck in the house all week... its just too cold to be taking Jorja out anywhere so we have been relaxing around the house watching heaps of movies!!!
Jorja has woken up today (after a long night) looking a lot better than she did on Monday.. so she is on the mend.
Like all mothers i hate seeing my baby sick.. she has been very cuddly the last few days.. its nice, but i haven't gotten anything done at all...lol...
Since i have been house bound this week i did manage to do a bit of scrapping. These pages would have to be the quickest layouts i have ever put together!!.. I pretty much just stuck everything down and hoped for the best.. normally i look, move things around, look some more, move some more etc this process can take days..lol..

so here goes...





Also if you have some time pop over to Jen Halls blog... she has been making a "everyday life" book... i LOVE it and thinking that i may start my own... Take photos and journal about the things we get up to everyday... see how i go I always say i will do this sort of stuff but never do!!!
So to get me started i took some natural photos of Keenan this morning playing with his footy cards... tried not to worry about how perfect they have to be...
so hopefully i can do my first entry tonight... might help me use up all those scraps that have been building up for years now...lol...

Please also check the new ARTYPANTS website... its not finished yet but Jodie has been very busy and doing a GREAT job.. the Arty Pants forum is also up and running so head over join up.. might see you there for a chat!!!

Well that's all from me...

Hope everyone is well...

Take care...
