So since I can't manage to get PUBBED I'm going to try to get UNPUBBED! :) I am getting on a plane in 3 hours yet I just HAD to squeeze in some non-existent extra time to crank this baby out! :) (Shhhhhhh.....it's a DT one too.....)

My sweet girl on her birthday...for some challenges over at Scrap4Life (scrap a birthday and use stickers..I used SEVENTEEN stickers! I didn't even know I had that many! LOL)

I'm feeling super energetic right now and I hope that means I'll be able to tackle a lot of the stuff that's on my to do list! We leave for 3 weeks on Wednesday so that means the house needs to be clean, laundry needs to be done, suitcases need to be packed, and my August DT assignments need to be done before we go.......so I have lots to do, hopefully I can actually be productive today! :)

Last night was one of those nights I felt like quite possibly the SHITTIEST mother ever.....Sam had a meltdown last night at about 11:00.....I tried SO hard to stay calm and maintain SOME patience but she just kept freaking out, kicking, screaming, crying...it was a doozy! I HAD to walk away, I couldn't calm her down, couldn't rationalize with her, and coddling and comforting was the LAST thing I wanted to do...my patience had totally gone away and I had to walk out before I did something regrettable. Then of course "Daddy the hero" walked in, laid down with her and she INSTANTLY calmed down...I felt like shit and about 2 inches tall. I HATE moments like that, when I feel like a crappy mom, doing things I swore I'd never do.....ugh.......

HOLY CRAYOLA! I figured out how to do something on my blog that wasn't stamped on my forehead, written in a "Blogging for Dummies" guide or written out step by step by someone smarter than me!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! Looky here! --------->

So very very very proud of myself.....now if I can just figure out how to do active links/hyperlinks within a post I'll be THRILLED!
