You gotta love this woman

She says it all. I love it.

Back to School

Back to School for my kids means back to school for me too. This year I have taken IT ALL on. I'm PTA president, room mom for 2 classes, will teach Art Masters in both classes, and pretty much anything else that needs to get done. I think I have a huge "S" written on my forehead (sucker). No, really, I will do anything to better the education of my kids. That's why I'm not working in an office so I can be involved in their schools. It's for a short period. Once they hit Jr High and High School, I'm told parents are not welcome (oh, I mean needed) so much anymore.

I love back to school. Even though it's busy, for me it means schedules. I am a schedule type of gal. I thrive on the structure and finally get organized after a summer of doing "whatever we want." I must say, I do miss the beach. That would be the only draw back for me. The weather is "beach time" up until Nov/Dec here in So. Cal. I've been tempted to pull the kids out early and head down the shores for an afternoon; having hubby meet for a nice beach dinner, then home for bed. You never know with my spontaneous personality, it might be any day...I'll keep you posted.

Back to scrapbooking business. I blew off completing my kids last years school albums. I almost finished Savannah's but never started Austin's. I also blew off my summer of journaling...yep...albums still not journaled. I DID however, do their back to school pages. I always get those done right away. For some reason, I love doing them. And because I have not been "inspired" lately (probably because I'm too busy for my right brain to think), I copied/lifted, whatever you call it. Thanks to an awesome friend (and the fact we always buy the same paper), I scrap lifted these two layouts. I'm just please that so far I consider myself caught up on this school year. (Up until this friday that is. Then I'll be behind again.) Oh well, such is life. Hope you enjoy.
