With my immune system so low and my stress levels I ended up with Shingles - OUCH OUCH!!! Made walking so hard as it was across my hip! And of course cause Shingles is the chicken pox virus, poor little Lily bub picked it up from me and now has Chicken Pox, poor bubba :(
So I am getting zero to zilch sleep in, at least I know that 'it too shall pass' so just hanging in there till it gets better!!
Thanks to everyone for the feedback re: weight loosing programs. I did end up joining up with Jenny Craig :) Had my first weigh in this week and I lost 900gr in one week wooohooo, might be due to the fact that I worked my butt off in the garden fixing up our flower beds and doing the lawn moving and edges hehe.
In SCRAPPY news!! Did you all see the peaks of the new Paper Trunk goodies???? Man alive talk about yummy elegance. If you love Kraft, you will adore these, pop over check it out, and make sure you check back in with the blog as there will be a giveaway soon!!!
Another layout that I did AGES ago, don't think I shared it or did I??? I have totally lost track haha.
I bought two new outifts for my girls with some of my tax refund money, and just had to snap pics. I have more, but haven't edited them yet! Soooo cute, think I'm going to get some of these enlarged so I could put them on my walls - I took all our family photos down, so need to replace them with new pics so the walls don't look so bare!!!
Hope you all have been having a good time!! I'm slowly getting back into scrap as much as what my time allows me to atm and am enjoying it!!

Oh no, you more thing! I had Chicken Pox a year ago and it was mighty nasty! I had terrible insomnia even tho I was really tired. My MIL has shingles at the moment and she's pretty sick with it. It's across her forehead and in her scalp. So I'm thinking of you!

I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU!!! NO ONE CAN TRUELY UNDERSTAND THE PAIN THAT YOU GET FROM SHINGLES UNTIL THEY HAVE IT.
I HAD GOTTEN MONO AND HAVE BEEN SELF EMPLOYED AND A SINGLE MOTHER TO BOOT. SO I WORRIED MYSELF SICK, MY IMMUNE SYSTEM WAS SO WEAK AFTER A MONTH ONCE THE MONO WAS GONE, I GOT INTERNAL SHINGLES. I HAD NO BLISTERS BUT EXTREME PAIN IT WAS ON MY BACK BY MY SHOULDER BLADE.
I WAS TAKING SO MUCH PAIN MEDICINE AND A STRONG NERVE MEDICINE. JUST ABOUT WHEN IT ALL WAS COMING TO AN END MY DAD DIED SUDDENLY AT 62. SO AT THAT POINT I WENT ON ZOLOFT. AFTER 2 YEARS ON ZOLOFT I FELT THAT I NO LONGER NEEDED THE ANTI DEPRESSANT AND JUST STOPPED TAKING IT. THAT WAS A YEAR AGO.
HANG IN THERE AND I KNOW HOW AWFUL IT IS ESPECIALLY WITH LITTLE ONES. I'LL WISH FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR YOU :)
DENISE
