Look how the tulips have bloomed. I love tulips more than any other
flower. Bar none.
It’s been a few rough days here. I’ve been really tired. I mean
really tired. David’s been such an incredible doll. He’s been
playing by himself and helping me out and just doing anything and
everything he’s told. Just so thankful for the little one.
David’s birthday is this weekend and we decided to celebrate it today at
school. It was really sweet and he got to have both me and his Daddy
there with him. The candles were trick candles and kept re-lighting up
which was funny.
Nothing much more today except that I am getting more and more exhausted
and it’s officially starting to worry me a bit. Not to mention frustrate me.
This week’s prompt was “How do I feel TODAY?”
Honestly, I thought a lot about this one. The one prominent thought was
tired since I’ve been so so tired all the time lately but then I wanted
something that’s more specific for these last few days as opposed to the
last few months and since so many friends around me are struggling and
it’s making me blue, I’ve decided to go with feeling blue. It’s not even
that I am sad for myself, but mostly at all the hardships my friends are
suffering and how pensive it’s making me.
The main technique I tried to use on this one was resist. I used clear
embossing to stamp the “blue” and then inked all over the tag to make
the word standout. Then I covered the letters with Tim’s crackle paint
to emphasize the feeling of feeling broken/blue. I then used alcohol
inks to make the bling, ghost heart, and the shells blue. I also used
the sparkling H2O’s for the edges and inside the letters a bit just to
give it a glimmer of sparkle. I used stickles to cover a white heart and
put the two hearts to symbolize relationship related issues my friends
are having. That’s it. I wanted the whole card to be tints of blue.
This is what happens when you take as many photos as I do.
It’s been a long week so far. A lot of meetings. And I am still overly
exhausted which doesn’t help. But I am taking my Iron pills, and trying
to go to bed early and relax as much as possible. Life’s ok otherwise. I
am still able to keep my peaceful inside and considering we’re a month
past the new year, I’m feeling good about this.
My friend Corien at A Million Memories is teaching a wonderful class

More flowers today. My backyard is finally blooming again. I saw two
hummingbirds yesterday, too. I can’t wait for spring to get here. It’s
been a little too cold.
Today is back-to-back-to-back meetings so it promises to be a LOT of
fun. (not!) What I really want to do is crawl right back in bed and stay
there all day.
February is my month at A
Million Memories and I loved this kit!
Journaling Reads:
this morning, you snuggled into bed with me.
you said, “i love you TEN times mommy”
i said, “i love you ten times too my love”
you said “i love you Five teen times”
(that’s a big number, you added)
and then you leaned over to my ear,
and said “I love you with all my heart”

almost as much
the way he tickles you
and the way you giggle

makes me eternally thankful
for my wonderful family.

I promised too many people that I’d take some pregnancy shots. I hate
them but here it is just cause I promised. And here are some with the
little boy.
