First, I’m still looking for a Stampin’ Up gal… please contact me if you sell it.

Secondly, Shelby and I have been working on using the potty. So far so good. Things are progressing and she seems to be really getting into the “potty party” we all have for her here each time she goes. All the kids dance around and sing… some of the adults too. Shelby thinks it’s fantastic! Hopefully this will keep the ball rolling. All three are going out to the movies tomorrow so she will have some time off from the potty structure, so I don’t know how that will go. Time will tell.

I’ve been prepping for cards. For those of you that needed the kits on the 25th I am sending them Priority Mail vs. First Class so you certainly get them Tuesday in the mail. I had wanted to go first class as I usually do to keep everyone’s shipping costs down, but couldn’t get it all coordinated in time to ship Saturday. (Ethan was off of school on Friday and had a friend over all day, soooo, you know how that goes.) Anyway, I’m good to go now.

We had Easter dinner here again this year. I think Denny and I have always had Easter dinner really. It went well. Food all worked out ok an everyone seemed pretty happy with it. The kids had fun. The Easter bunny brought each of them a season of Sponge Bob Square Pants on DVD. I’m not big on TV so it was a reach for me, but with a big break coming up and the fighting that has been going on here, sometimes I must admit I need it on, I escape to my office, slide the door closed and just sit for a moment and take a deep breath. Then I’m good and can revisit whatever the conflict was. The kids get so little of it that when a tv goes on around here they are so totally in the zone it is as if nothing outside the tv even exists.

I’m sitting here now at 11:30pm waiting for an Ambien to kick in, which I think I feel coming on now. I don’t usually take on unless I know its going to be a bad night… and it is going to be a bad night. Denny has been all over the bed already and given the kick/nudge several times now to stop the snoring. It isn’t working.

Does anyone have a good scrappin technique they want to share? If I can get enough people to post a technique I could send out a prize, woo hoo. Who doesn’t want a prize??? So post a technique in the comments, I’ll find one and use it then award a groovy prize. How about that?

Ok the sleepy haze has started to hit me… no off to scope out a good place to sleep. I’m pretty sure my room is out of the question. Maybe the downstairs couch, it’s always colder down there, which for me makes it more appealing. Although the only time Dilly likes to be close to me is at night so I might go hang out with him in bed. It is all going to depend on how wobbly I am when I stand up here in a second.

Night-ooo
