A Day In the Life of...

This is a blog dedicated to my Project 365. I challenge myself (and anyone who wants to join me) to take a photo a day and use these daily photos to document their year. I will start on Jan 1st 2010. And I will digitally scrapbook each week.

I am also using this blog as a way to keep in touch with family and friends around the world as this is the year we finally head back to the states after living overseas for 14 years.

OK, so I have to admit...I didn't take any pictures today, but because I don't want to skip a day, I stole one of my daughter's pics.  She stayed the night at a friend's house last night, and this is a picture she took today while over there.  I can't believe what a great photographer she is!

Brendan still hasn't broken the thumb sucking habit... and so today, when he cut the pad of his thumb, I thought "Great, maybe we can use this as the catalyst to stop thumb sucking".  Well, wishful thinking...he decided to start sucking on his forefinger now instead because his "thumb is owie..."

Well, I was so excited about having this week to clean out the garage this week, now that the kids are back in school and the holidays are over, but I guess it just isn't meant to be.  First of all, the weather has been crazy! Too much snow for England! And now today, the kids get sent home early from school because of the weather...UGH!  So, we'll play in the snow today instead of working, how does that sound?

So, as I went through box after box today, I came across a huge box of craft supplies...BIG SURPRISE, huh? LOL!  So, why do we spend hundreds of dollars on birthday and Christmas presents? Craig and Brendan spent at least an hour playing with 4 styrofoam balls!  And of course, being a young man, Brendan is obsessed with boobies, so 2 of the styrofoam balls had to become boobies!!  :Love my men!

Let the cleaning commence!!! We have hired a skip (a small dumpster) for the week and will start the pre-PCS clear out!! WOO HOO! So, hopefully this time next week, I will have a pic of a comletely full skip or a pic of a nicely organized garage...one or the other...or BOTH!!!!

So, have you ever wondered what builder's leave behind under the floors and in the walls...well, no dead bodies here, but when the landlord came over today to fix our leaking shower, he found a potato chip packet in the floor under the shower... at least it wasn't a moldy old sandwich, huh?

I know, not very exciting today, but nothing really exciting happened today.  I read an entire book, and the landlord fixed our shower...that's about it...and it was wonderful to have a day off from excitement! Because, starting tomorrow...I am going to be crazy busy again...come back tomorrow to see why!

(pic is on the mysteriosly disappearing SD card...I will find it and post it! But let me just say that people thought I was crazy taking a picture of my pile of laundry at the laundromat!!!)

Well, tonight after church, I did what I usually do on a Sunday night, LAUNDRY.  But, tonight, it seems that our laundry multiplied while we were asleep at night.

Tonight, we had Craig's friend, Blue his wife, Agniezska and 1yo son Arthur came over for a big dinner.  So, I spent the day messing up my nice clean kitchen that I worked all day yesterday on! But, it was worth it!  Now, I need to get up the energy to go do the dishes! UGH!!!!

Have a creative day!

Happy New Year Everyone!!
So, I spent today cleaning (fun stuff!) and making lists. Lists of what needs to be done in the next couple of months before we PCS, what I need to take photos of to post on lakenheathyardsales, what meals we'll be eating for  the next couple of weeks, what we'll be spending our money on this paycheck, etc. etc. etc.  And of course, doing dishes and making lists is always more fun with a glass (or bottle) of your favorite (Moscato d'Asti) wine, right?

I've started as I mean to go on... Well, not really.  I really wanted my first pic of the new year to be a family pic.  But, that wasn't to be.  We do need to take a family pic...so, maybe tomorrow!

Have a creative day!
