This has been quite a weekend and certainly not one that I'll forget for a long time. I've spent the entire weekend with my brother and one of his friends. They go to school in New Orleans and I made sure that he left town early to avoid some of the evacuation traffic. While that's not overly stressful (and a joy for DS) it is a tight fit in the living room for two visitors.

I've been a bit unusually stressed at work, mostly it has to do with stuff that I really don't have much c...

I had what I would call a productive night yesterday. I don't usually get a lot of time for scrapping anymore with my ds wanting constant attention. And at work, there's usually a lot to do. But yesterday the rain kept people away and I was able to get some ideas for my own pages down on paper and plan out the pages for the preschool book swap I'm in.
