The Angel Book

This was very surreal. I am still not sure what to make of it.

Last night Sadie pointed at a design on my shirt and said "angel". Although it wasn't actually a picture of an angel, I wondered why she would even think such a thing, or use the word. I said, "where did you hear about angels from?". She said, "the angel book". I said, "where is the angel book?" She got up and went to the drawer in the coffee table where we keep her books. The whole time she was digging in there I was trying to rack my brain thinking of any book she has with angels in it. Then I helped her dig and she said, "there it is!" It was a photo album with some pictures that Isabel and Zoe had taken a long time ago of goofy stuff. We put them in there for Sadie to enjoy. I opened it up and we looked through the photos of friends, her sisters, stuff animals, zoo animals, etc. Then we came to a picture of my mother. My mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2004, before Sadie was conceived. The picture didn't really show her face. She was in her basement doing laundry. I asked Sadie, "who's that?" Quickly she said Daddy. Then she seemed to think for a few seconds, then looked at me and said, "Grama". Whoa. That's heavy. How did she know that? Did she look at the photos recently and someone tell her it's Grama? I'm not sure. It's all very mysterious and fascinating. She's only 2 1/4 years old so anything can come out of a child's mouth at this age. It does make you wonder, though...

Diaper Rash

I hate diaper rash. It seems like Sadie is always battling it. I will be up to my ears in Balmex today.

Had a girls night last night. Pretty much flapped my gums and laughed more than I had in a long time. Got home to a dirty kitchen and brownies that were uncovered. That really annoyed me. Did they think the brownies would just magically stay moist and fresh without a protective covering?? So I did my motherly duty and added aluminium foil.

Based on last nights discussion with the girls, I decided we need to get a Costco membership. I went on the website earlier to check things out and guess what? They have scrapbooking stuff!! Bonus!

I have a blog! Now what???

Well, I have to say I have no idea what I am doing. Also, I have no idea why I am blogging. I mean, who cares about my boring life? Answer: no one.

But, out of selfishness I just wanted a "fun" place to be able to journal about my life and my family. Maybe this will help with my scrapbook journaling? You know, all those pages with pics and embellishments and NO journaling. Yes, it's true. Hence the name of my blog. That is the main source of my frustration. I want my journaling to be more "of the moment" to give it that real feeling of what was happening and the emotions involved.

But I will be blogging on other humorous and non-scrapbooking related stuff just to keep it interesting for myself. Yes, this is mostly (if not totally) for moi.

So, if you give a rats butt...check back later for more of my boring life.
