SCRAPPIN CECILE

Iv'e Been Tagged
I was tagged by my Blog friend Cecile ~ to answer these questions..I have never done anything like this on my blog, so here it goes:

1. Where was I ten years ago? I was working as a title researcher at a Title Company nearby. Loved the job, not all the people I worked with. We were trying to get pregnant, but not quite successful......with our sweet little Lauren. Josh was only 8.... (Those were the days) and we were in the house that we are currently in now.

2. What was on my to do list today? Watch kiddos. Take care of my sick Lauren. Go to the dentist and hopefully get rid of this aweful, horrible toothache. And finally go to my Mother Study Club Meeting. Oh, and probably fix dinner and do laundry sometime in between all that.

3.What would I do if I were a billionaire? Buy a different house in Orrville, pay off my mom and dads house and Georges mom and all the sister and brothers houses of course. Pay for Josh and Lauren's education. Give to several charities and probably not stress so much about money. I would take Lauren to Disney land, and take us all to somewhere special. But I would try to live life simple.

4. Five places that I have lived? Springfield, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, West Virginia, Orrville, Ohio,

5. Bad habits: STRESS, I stress to much over every little thing. It will actually keep me up at nights, over the craziest things. (I am sure I have more, George would be able to tell you about those.) hehehe

A Few Weeks Ago

George and I decided to treat the kids to a overnight stay at Maui Sands. They were so helpful during my down time with my ankle. I wish I could have given them more than a Maui Sands overnight stay. But they seemed to have enjoyed it. I heard about it through Rena, so we were able to go up at the same time. The kids played together quite a bit. Thanks Rena for the info. It was great fun! Hopefully next time I can enjoy the water.

Very Late Entry

Yes, this another late entry. But, better late than never......right? The whole ankle thing has thrown me for a loop! I am trying to get back into the swing of things, but my ankle doesn't want to go as fast as I do. :o)

The first three pictures are of Lauren at Open house, the day before school started. She was able to meet her teacher and see her classroom. The last picture is the first day of school. It makes me sad and proud, at the same time to see my little girl growing up. She is such a sweet and caring young lady. But mind you, she does have her days. (Don't we all)

Lauren's favorite subject is reading and second favorite is math. She is in gymnastics and wants to play basketball. She has a goal already to live in New York and go to college for fashion. OH-BOY- I better start saving more money!

I will post sooner...... Thanks for stopping by.

Yet another new cast

Okay, this has to be the last cast. There is nothing else to go to. Of course, with me, nothing is simple. The plan was to have one cast all through this whole process, but that didn't pan out. I have had 4, yes 4.......... casts in 4 weeks. Swelling was the issue at hand. Well, here is my final and beautiful cast (do you note the sarcasm here?).... the only bummer is, I miss all my kiddo's signatures and drawings on it. They really brightened my days.

Again, I have been so blessed with wonderful friends, that have swept me away from my four walls and taken me to their homes for dinner or to coffee. Friends that came over and brought smoothies and cookies and dinners and special treats and conversation. And cards..... AWW it has been so wonderful!! I have a wonderful husband that has taken care of everything. A awesome daughter and son that has bent over backward to make sure I haven't lifted a finger (or a foot) . Lauren has learned a lot of new chores around the house in short period of time. And she loves it! She loves running the sweeper and wants to be in charge of taking out the trash. (EWW!) (YUCK!) Luckily Josh stepped in and said she was still a little to young to do it.

I am anxious to get back to my normal, and to get rid of this thing on my foot!

Getting Ears Pierced

Today, George and I decided to suprise Lauren with a trip to the Mall to get her ears pierced. Lauren has been such a big help, along with everyone else in the house, with taking care of me and the chores. But for an 8 year old, its a little bit harder to understand. Lauren has been fine with it all!

Lauren for the longest time didn't want to have her ears pierced. Then just last week, decided she did. So.....this was our trip today.
