My Kodak program has finally crrrrashed! That means that all 11, 998 pics that I have never developed are somehow in there waiting for me. Ah, this would be SUCH an easy segway into lessons on procrastination and laziness but why when I can just complain? Lol (I wonder if I can get someone to come fix it for LESS that 95 bux an hour?)
My real immediate dilemma is that I have not been able to post a pic of Sloan holding her new license under the DMV sign (yes, she let me do that- albeit a little reluctantly and I also took one of her taking the test at the computer! Sheesh, Mom....) so now I just have to say..(last Monday) she got it!
and
cannot post a pic of what I can only call a hilarious and amazing depiction of Randy, Paula and Simon, replete with their table and coke cups...artisticly created with sculpey, the newest addition (and evidently most expensive) form of clay that I oh-so-lovingly got for easter baskets this year...hope they move on before I have to buy more! But they are SOOOOOO cute! Rach is going to take a one week sculpting class this summer which she is so excited about.
I can finally see a bit of light in life again...balance is returning...the old, happier life is dawning on the horizon and I can see that much like the first months of a new child in the home, it always ends up that you actually LOVE the thing when you finally get calmed down. Lol The stress finally culminated in a bad fever blister (every girl's worst nightmare, at least mine) and as vain as I am NOT, this is the kind of thing that can keep me home...growing pains ya' know. But yesterday I kind of felt like I got over the proverbial hump. (Dear M, I am coming back to you!)
May issue is proving to be a tremendous amount of fun to create as it is a big summer camp and summer activity issue...man, had I only not found the truths of the reformed life, I would have done great in children's church ministry. The mag has kind of ended up being that kind of an outlet in a way...I have been lovingly counseled that I am NOT a sell out, lol- but that I can plant seeds along the way of a mainstream world....ha. I hope so. When you get little glimpses that say, "That sounds like Steph", it probably is!
10 Tips for your camp kid is a good example...I added at the end the keep 'em home part. Lol
But May is a fun one and I love creating it while Jeff takes Sloan out driving, Rach reads and sculpts, Lauren climbs to even higher branches and Kate continues to color on every available surface known to mankind.
Life is....different!

Which operating system do you have? XP with the Windows picture program that maybe stored your pictures too? It's so frustrating, isn't it??
Congradulations to Sloan!! Ann will be this summer and she's biting at the bit already.
I saw the part in the camp article about keeping 'em home...and I knew it was from you!! Loved Madi's picture too! I can't wait to see the scuplture. And Congratulations to Sloan...can you believe you have a child old enough to drive?
I would LOVE to see the sculpture. Your kids are so funny and creative. I can't wait for the May issue--I want to know all my options for farming out my kids this summer! :0) Just kidding!
Way to go SLOAN! LOL! All three of our Fair Maidens have had their picture taken outside the DMV office.
They grow so fast... *sniffle sniffle drying a tear*
I'm so glad you are coming to feel some sense of normalcy, even with the magazine under your wing. Horray! That's some kind of accomplishment, right there. Glad you're back to writing more blog posts again, too. You always get me thinking. And I would sympathize on your pictures being locked in jail, but I already read that you got it fixed. That's great!
