Oh dear! Where has the time gone?? All 6 of us have been sharing some BUGS! We've had an upper respiratory cold thing that lasts more than 2 weeks and a NASTY upper GI bug that put A & T moaning from the stomach pain, and J throwing up. They all missed a little school and just felt horrible. A & I both had the stomach thing, but not as bad as the kids. Even poor R had both. Not so easy to deal with for a 3 month old baby!!

AND... the time has passed by so quickly because I have gone back to work. My house is a complete and utter disaster and laundry is outta control!! CRAZY!!!

I'm not ready for Thanksgiving break other than to get caught up around here but won't get to much since we'll be spending most of the time with family. Also, my nephew, M, has a birthday party! FUN!

Tomorrow will be spent prepping for my Christmas card workshop that is coming up on the 4th!!!

BACK TO WORK!

Today was THE day! I went back to work today. It was bittersweet, for sure! I did ok in the am... didn't cry much but did feel kinda sad when I kissed my little Rhiannon good-bye and told her I'd pick her up later. Lots of people asked and already knew the answer... that I would rather be at home with my baby. Several other teachers told me they were glad to have me back. Several kids were so sweet and told me that they missed me and was glad I was back. That really helped!! I got two texts from my Mom during the day to check on me and let me know my lil' Monkey Pie was just fine. I got there to pick her up and she was good until I held her and she modt definitely assimilates me with eating! She threw a fit until I gave in. Not sure she was hungry as she had just eaten a couple hours earlier.

I'm working on finishing up a class for a crop that I am a vendor at this coming Saturday. I will post some pix. Also need to finish a card for my girlfriend's birthday party tomorrow night... one of the first of my friends my age that is turning 40! Can't believe it! Anyway, I want to make her a sophisticated and feminine card with a little sass! In case I do not get back here tomorrow (highly likely!!), Happy Birthday, Mollie!!

Oh look! I got another awesome Stacy Leach creation! I put a shout-out to my buddies for some Huggies coupons and promised a handmade creation in return. Stacy was sweet to send me some Huggies coupons and included them in this awesome card! LOVE IT!!

THANK YOU, Stacy! I'll be making one for you today and getting it in the mail (& I will post it here to share!).
