It's Monday

Well it's Monday again.  Time to get back to work!  I still haven't finished putting all my pictures on the blog.  I did start another blog, but it doesn't look very nice, so will continue with this one for now.  I do have the pictures all picked out for this but just haven't taken the time to do it.

It's one of those days.  I really am beginning to believe that my computer at work just absolutely hates me!  We lost our Internet on Friday, it's back today.  I'm working on our employee newsletter and having a terrible time getting pictures put into my text.  I just keep plugging away, but it gets so frustrating when it doesn't work the way I think it should. 

I've finally gotten back to scrapping again.  I have all those beautiful pictures from vacation to do.  I'm up to the Zoo in the book I'm doing for Beth.  She gets the first one.  It was her idea to go to Des Moines and get the families together.  It was a great idea!  It was nice having everyone together.  We missed Nick and maybe another time all of us can be together and take pictures of families!!!!  I so wanted a picture of my sister, brother and myself, but we never got around to those kind of pictures.

Scrapping is my out from the world.  July was a very emotional month for me and the rest of my family.  When Jim called and said they had lost the babies, I truly wasn't sure how to react.  Lots of tears, lots of time of reflection.  I so wanted to be a grandmother of twins!!!  God works in mysterious ways and I know in my heart that this was his plan, but it's kinda hard to take sometimes God.  I haven't spoken to my kids since all this happened.  They have pretty much kept to themselves.  They've been doing things with their children and sharing some pictures with us all.  I appreciate that very much. 

I can still remember when Jer was killed in an accident.  I spent some time with my brother.  We didn't talk much (hardly at all) but it was just a comfort to be with him during that time.  Lots of tears at that time too.  Life goes on, even though sometimes we wonder why.

I so want to spend some time with Jim & Mandy and family, but guess now isn't the time.  I'm in Des Moines later this week for a meeting.  Jim's birthday is soon, so will leave something for him and the kiddos at Barb's place.  I'm seriously thinking of staying over Thursday night, doing some shopping in Ankeny (my favorite scrapbook store is there) and then head home on Friday afternoon.  It will on depend on what's happening at work and just how I feel about everything.  I finally have gotten back on all my meds (hope that helps).  

Well I best get back at doing something or another.  Will get pictures up soon.  That's what makes a blog so cool . . . pictures.
