Do you always work the night shift?

[LyndaKay]

Do you save a lot of the LOs from the Gallery and then lift them? (like me!)

[LyndaKay]

Even if you don't like to cook, do you have a favorite meal that you prepare for the kids? Either because it's quick or just yummy?

[LyndaKay]

This is one of my favs. of yours:




Cute journaling and I like the overlapping papers. (I don't scrap in order, either!) Did you daughter like this one? Do any of your kids scrap with you?

Nancy, have you ever gone to ACOT's warehouse sale in Saginaw? Is it anywhere close to where you live?

I have never gone to their warehouse sale, but I've wanted to ! I always seem to be working or have a competition with my daughter or something like that. I am hoping to get to the next one. Their warehouse is only about 4 miles from my house, and it's awesome. I shop at work at night and pick up my order in the morning!

Lucky you. I just read on the site that there is another warehouse sale on April 17th!

Do you always work the night shift?

Yes, I always work nights. I actually work from 7pm to 7:30am. It's a long night, but I only work 3 days a week, once ina while 4 if I want a little extra money. I like nights... I actually see my kids more because I am home when they get home from school, we spend some time and go over homework together, I leave for work at 6:30 and they are in bed by 9. My 14 yr old does an awesome job of managing when I am at work, so she gets occasional special treats for that. I don't pay her... I believe that to make a family work, everyone has jobs... that is hers. But as I said, she gets special perks sometimes. I don't like days... I would leave before they left for school, get home at 8pm at best, and they are in bed by 9. Wouldn't see them much.

Sounds like a perfect arrangement!

You work in an ER?

Even if you don't like to cook, do you have a favorite meal that you prepare for the kids? Either because it's quick or just yummy?

Oh, yeah... spaghetti. I love it, and it's quick and easy. I bought half a cow last summer, and had half of THAT made into ground beef. So it's great to stock the cupboards with noodles and sauce, and just be able to grab beef from the freezer. And it's good as leftovers, plus carries to work well.

I made some sauce the other day from my mother's old recipe and it just didn't taste the same. So I'm back to using jarred sauce. Which kind do you like best?

Do you think Keegan or Callum might want to be a chef when they grow up?

[LyndaKay]

Evan is 18.... an E2 (he just got his first promotion) in the Army, serving as a Military Police, currently in South Korea. He is hoping to get Germany the next assignment... if he does, I'm visiting!

Congrats to Evan! Milmomma is in So. Korea, isn't she? Anyway, was enlisting in the Army totally his idea or does it "run in the family"? Did any of his good friends also enlist? And a big hearty thank you to Evan for his service!!

Before my kids were born, I was a physical therapist in a city hospital. Loved the atmosphere. I should have kept it up at least part time, but didn't. I went to work with my husband in a totally different field, but the office was at home, so I was always near the kids. I think your 2 positions sound extremely interesting and what a bonus to have a job that varies daily! Stimulating instead of stagnant. You are lucky... so get the Little Yellow Bicycle Lucky line and get scrapping about YOURSELF!!!

Your kids sound great! Two of my boys are red heads... kinda coppery red.


Now do the same kind of posting about your pets!

CocoBean came next.... one of a litter of 3 black kittens, also from the Humane Society. They were going to euthanize them simply because they were black.. said they couldn't find homes. Well... this one got a home!

I've heard they also have trouble adopting out black dogs....weird! I have 2 black cats and one is almost 16 years old. She certainly hasn't had any bad luck!

How is the weather where you live?

[LyndaKay]

I haven't tried Hunt's, so I'll look for that next time. I'm in a rut with cooking, so I need something new, even if it's a different sauce. Back to scrapping....

Have you made any scrapbooks as gifts?

[glo85cam]

Is there one thing that you find yourself reaching for any time you scrap?

[LyndaKay]

What's your favorite TV show?

Have you made any scrapbooks as gifts?

I've given quite a lot of blank (decorated, but no pics) chipboard books as baby gifts for girls at work when they have babies. It's kind of become a tradition, and it seems to be really well liked. I've given my stepmother a scrapbook about the kids a couple of times. I'm working on a baby book for a friend... it's the first time I'm actually making one with pictures to work with! lol

I SHOULD be working on a baby book now....mostly without pics, though.
