Elmer's Crafters' BzzCampaign

As some of you know I'm a BzzAgent.  I'm given some items to try, give my opinion on, and spread the bzz.  So right now I'm in the Elmer's Crafters' BzzCampaign.  They sent me all this great stuff to try.  I gotta tell ya I'm lovin it.  This is an image of all the stuff in my BzzKit.  I'm thinking it will be great, not only for scrapbooking but I'm thinking of making my own Holiday Cards.


I believe I will at least try to create my own Holiday Cards.  If anyone has any idea's for great crafts share them in the comments or email them to me.  We can try them all.  I gotta tell ya I'm not real fond of the corner punch, but maybe I just wasn't using it correctly the first time I tried it.  I plan on trying it again and seeing if it gets any easier.  The scissors are awesome.  I plan on using them regularly for my homemade projects.  Gibson can even use them for his school projects.  So many uses so little time.

Newest Update on Me and my Family

Well I'm about the same as I've been. My back still isn't great and I'm still on painkillers occasionally. I really don't like taking pills so I take them less than once a day. Usually a couple times a week when I'm in pain so bad I cry. My boys are good. Gibson went back to school, seventh grade this year, he's getting so grown up. Jordan is working at McDonald's, not a great job, but at least he's working. He told me today he regrets dropping out of college and is thinking he wants to go back next semester. That made me hugely happy. My husband is the most wonderful man on the Earth. How does anyone put up with a wife that does nothing but whine all day? It sure isn't the "intimacy" because I'm about as frigid as a block of ice. (The pain from it is horrible) I know TMI but hey it's about my life right?

I did get a new dog this week. He is the sweetest thing.

ACE

He is a Yorkie that I adopted from Caring Paws shelter in Evansville, Indiana. He is about 8lbs and already rotten. I can't imagine anyone getting rid of him, but the shelter said the woman that gave him away had flea's in her house and thought getting rid of the dogs would get rid of the fleas. Apparently she had two, wish I could have gotten both, but the other was never made available. Anyway if your in the area you should check out the list of pets from the shelter, because they take in the sick and bring them back to health. They could really use any help anyone can give them, since they are a NO KILL shelter.

Update

Well it's been a long time since I posted. I am trying really hard to stay positive, but it is getting really difficult. My back hurts most days and I can feel the screws more everyday. They seem to be poking out from the skin a little more then before. I don't look forward to going to the doctor. Oh well I'm sure I'll be fine.

My family is awesome. Jordan, my oldest son, has a job now. It took him a while, but he seems to be getting into having a job. Gibson is just Gibson. A typical 12 year old. Christian, my husband, is awesome. He worries too much about me, but he means well. Everywhere we go he wants me to rent a freakin wheelchair. I haven't so far, but some day I may.

Just hangin

Today has been a really lazy kind of day. I'm not doing anything really. I went to the grocery store with my son, Gibson. We bought some junk food and soda's. We've just kind of hung out since we got gome. It's really awesome. We've had nacho's and smore's. Getting ready to check out and see if Netflix has anything good streaming to the Tivo.

It's been a pretty good pain day. My rear end hurts but I'll live. Hoping this is going to be a pattern.

Iron Man 2

This movie is awesome. Doesn't hurt any that Robert Downey Jr. is HOT. I want to go see it again. I didn't find my Mother's windchimes in time, but today we went out to lunch and I stopped at a flower shop before going and there they were. The chimes I had been looking for. They sound so pretty. She was very happy with them.

My husband, Chris, and youngest son, Gibson, went out to the farm today. They had fun. Big bombfire and fishing at the lake. I think they plan on going more often now.

Mother's Day

I've been shopping today. Man does my back hurt after that. I still haven't found the windchimes I want to get for my Mother yet. I'll find it in the morning before I see her. My husband and sons are taking me out to dinner and then we are going to see Iron Man 2. It's going to be fun. I’m also participating in a contest at Best Kids Apps, a blog about iPhone apps for kids, for a chance to win an iPad, because what mother doesn't want an iPad? Hope something good happens tomorrow. Maybe a painfree day. Probably not, but I'm hoping.

Read a book

I just read a great book. It's called the Seven Year Bitch. It hasn't been released yet, I won an advanced copy from goodreads.com. The book is about marriage and children. A womans struggle to decide what is best in her life. Should she stay in a marriage that she isn't happy in? Should she cheat with a man that she lost her chance with years ago? I wasn't real happy with her decision to cheat at judging contests, but what can you say. I guess it happens. Her relationship with her son was sweet and her struggles to justify having a nanny were interesting.
