PAD #2 and Just Write Tuesday #24
I'm very happy with how my layout for today turned out. Even though I'm pretty sure "cuddley" is spelled incorrectly. Damn E. The quote at the bottom is from one of my favorite Pooh movies The Search for Christopher Robin.
It says "If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You're braver than you believe; stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you."
Doesn't that just say it all. I hope my kids always remember that. You sure can learn a lot from a cuddly, fluffy ol' bear. Here are 10 things I have learned from POOH.
1. When you add a little honey to your day, things truly start looking brighter;
2. If someone appears to not be listening to you it is probably because they have a small piece of fluff in their ear;
3. Children are born with fluff in their ears;
4. When faced with a big problem, think, think, think;
5. Always have at least one Christopher Robin in your life; someone you can do nothing with, someone who is always there for you;
6. Imagination is more important than knowledge;
7. It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?";
8. You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes;
9. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference; and
10. Never underestimate the value of not bothering.

Five Days and Counting...
It's almost time for my semi-annual scrapbooking exstravaganza with my sister! Twice a year we get together with a bunch of crazy women and rent a beach house for the weekend. Words can not truly describe how much fun it is. The stomach muscles hurt from all the laughing when you return.
I think it's better than any form of therapy. Seriously.
Needless to say, with this weekend fast approaching, I'm feelin' scrappy. I'm going to try to post a PAD (page a day) picture leading up to the event.
Today's page is tiggerific! Who doesn't love Tigger?

The Great Big Blog Candy GiveAway
Hear ye, hear ye. Cammie is hosting a blog candy assortment for Alzheimers on her blog. She has received a huge amount of donations for this event. Check it out here. There is still time to enter this great give away. Above is my entry. It is a card for my grandmother, who is caring for my grandfather who has Alzheimers. It is a difficult job, to say the least. I can't imagine what it must be like for her to watch the man that she has love for more than 60 years forget his own children and grandchildren. The dragonfly stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps. They are having a big sale this weekend if you are interested.

Just Write Tuesday #23
Dear littlest G,
Do you come up with new ways to terrify your mom everyday? Do you wake up and think..."What can I do today that will make my mommy freak?" On Saturday, you tripped and whacked your head on the molding along our staircase. I tried to circle the lump in the picture. Click on it to see a larger version. It swelled up immediately and it looked like you had a bouncy ball growing out of your skull.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, "Wake him up every three hours from bed." He also said a little Tylenol wouldn't hurt...no kidding. Really? *** PLEASE NOTE: this sentence is laced with sarcasm***
So I woke you up and you didn't like it. At one point you said, "Mommy, I'm tryin' to sleep here." That made me feel happy...like you didn't do too much damage to your brain. After all, the ability to be sarcastic in our family is, most definitely, a dominate trait. See above.
Needless to say, we were both pretty cranky on Sunday, but we muddled through. You still have a lump. Said doctor told me it may be there for a week or more and slowly become a faded black and blue memory.
My question to you is...will you wait till it is entirely gone before you think up your next trick?

Have Fun at the Fair
I just couldn't resist posting this picture of my son at the fair. Yes, I know it is quite off center. LOL Despite the rain, we had a nice time.
