Ok so I am not quite sure how to get the picture and my writing all in one post.I took this picture of a new house while sailing into the harbor on our ferry.It isn't hard to tell that this is a summer home owned by someone from away.Someone who doesn't realize how much wind and freezing spray that they are going to get.Not to mention the fact that the drive way up to the house is pretty scary.Scary like the plumber couldn't get up the hill and started rolling back and smashed his van up.Oh well, it is a new addition to the island and you,yes you could rent it for $1000 a week!Let's get those telephones ringing girls:)

I think I might feel some mojo starting to bubble up within me.Could be gas,who knows.....lol. I was just searching some blogs and WOW!!!!!!!!! there is some awesome talent out there. My mind is whirling.I think that some of these ladies must have everything they need right at their fingertips,kinda like Macgyver or however you spell it.Honestly, I have never seen so many embellishments! I love embellishments.Can't wait for the new CHA stuff to start rolling in.

Good Sunday Morning:)

LOL

Ok I will be right back ladies.You are so lucky that I got one pic. uploaded because my second time I got them uploaded,but they were not the pictures that I chose.Couldn't be, I couldn't of done something wrong.......LOL.I think once I get the hang of this, you will be sick and tired of seeing my pictures. I am going to play sneaky like Vanessa and just show a tiny bit of a picture.

I should actually play Stump The Dummy with you guys.This is a new facebook group from around here. People take pictures and we have to post what they are or where they are taken.Dh guessed one last night and was pretty impressed with himself. Some of them are so hard,and have never been figured out. The people who took the pictures will give hints after a bit.Sneaky and right up my alley.Stay tuned for a Stump The Dummy Julie D Style:)

A Layout I finished recently:)

SUPER NANNY WHERE ARE YOU???????

I am here to tell you that Evan has been home for less than an hour and it is has been one hurdle after another. Who helps with these sort of things? Why is my son so difficult,and demanding.I seriously think he has anger issues and I have never dealt with it and I don't know how.People will tell me that just needs a good stick on his you know what........Well guess what.....done that,after I chased him through the house and out the door. It is -10 or something and him with no coat or shoes on his feet.

I should mention that this all started because I got tired of him demanding I do things without saying please to me.It is just a simple request and he knows his manners,so why not use them? Instead we will engage in a manners standoff,in which I am ultimately the winner,but I end up feeling helpless and sad.I think I am failing in the parenting department with child number 3.I never had any issues with the other two.

I sent him to his room and I sit in the livingroom on the verge of tears while I listen to him scream and holler and kick and threaten to smash his window out.

He always talks nasty to me,and everything is "friggin" this and "friggin" that.He calls his siblings jerks.I am at my wits end here. I don't know what to do!!!!!!! Am I doing something wrong.

Now I should mention that there are moments when he is an angel,other than when he is sleeping. He never ever cuts up these actions with his father.

Sorry for the long boring vent:(

One Proud Mom

Not to much going on in my life lately,other than the fact I have been scrapping and having fun with it:)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the award ceremonies at Kyle's school. He received an award for his marks,and I was so happy:) I was also shocked and saddened by the lack of parent participation in this event.There were kids getting awards with no parents to watch:( The look on Kyle's face when his eye caught mine sitting at the back of the auditorium.......PRICELESS!

My mother kinda hurt my feelings yesterday.She sticky noted me on facebook like 3 weeks ago to tell me that she was going away to her sister's house for a bit.See her sister lives near her new man(insert rolling eyes smilie here).I don't think she is ever coming home,and then she told me yesterday that she had nothing to come home for:( I guess her three children and numerous grandchildren rank lower than her new man.She will return in time to take off to Europe for 6 weeks........oh to be so carefree.

I found that it is better to e-mail camera man through E-bay,he responds pronto.He aske me for my phone number and he would contact me with my tracking number.I am thinking buddy I have left messages for you and my phone number for a week now and you have never responded,why should I think you will this time.Why can't he e-mail me the tracking number????That is because he doesn't have it!He did call me however last night,and was just a sweet as could be,and even thanked me for my patience.He will have a tracking number for me today and will e-mail.....YA RIGHT! I don't think this man knows right from left or has any contact with his customer service. He yet again mentioned sending me the wrong camera.....the one I just sent back to him.I may have a nervous breakdown before this is over.

I am so TICKED

In fact,I'm pissed,and I am so unpissoffable..........LOL how is that for a new word.Kinda sounds like a Czech last name or something.Anyway,for those following my camera saga..........I think I have been had.I was seriously on the verge of tears on the phone with customer service at the E-bay store we won my camera from.There is no record of a camera being shipped out to me,other than the wrong one I received. They guy assured me that it was a good camera.I told him that it might very well be,but it wasn't what I paid for:( In fact, it was a $200 cheaper one.Now come on,who is going to go for that?

I feel worse to think that my hubby saved all of his pocket change and hid it in the basement to buy me this,and now.......................it's gone:(Not that he couldn't of just gone and bought it,but he wanted to surprise me with it.

Oh what to do?????????????
