today is 2 of 6

so, i go back in to work tonight from 10p to 6 a. It is day 2 of 6. I know you are all thinking I am crazy, but the overtime is available, so I am taking advantage of it. I don't always have this opportunity since most of the time they give it away to the people who are always picking up. one girl averages 160 hours in 2 weeks every pay period. how she does it I don't know, but her checks must me really nice.... If I did that before taxes, I would be looking at well over 2k per pay check with the shift differentals and over time premiums factored in... wow. just don't know how she does it. so, i took kenzie's tv away from her yesterday and ryan gave it back last night. what is up with that? i am fighting a loosing battle here.. maddie sees this and she is going to start behaving the way kenzie does... grrr!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
