33 years ago.....

.....I came into this world, screaming and guns a blazin'!!!! LOL It's been a pretty good day.....I got a really cool digital picture frame and it's the coolest darn thing I've gotten in a loooong time!

Summer is coming to an end for us really fast. My kids start school next Friday and I start my job at the doctor's office I used to work for years ago on Aug. 18...YIKES!

Hope everyone is well, safe and happy!

Long time no post!

LOL...well how the heck are you all doing? I want to thank you all for the comments and support I continue to get even though this blog hasn't been updated for months! I'm still not scrapping but living life to the fullest and HAPPY! I'm thinking maybe in the winter I'll sit down and scrap some summer pics cuz I have tons! Summer's been great and the kids are going back to school mid-August. I will also be returning to work at the same time so it's going to be a huge adjustment for me...and my feet! ROFLMAO....flip flops for nearly 3 years!!!! Anyhow, I miss you all and hope you are doing great!

Much love,
Tricia =)

2 Months and 2 Days later.....

I am still here.....HAPPY.....and living life!!!!!!!!!!!! So many of you have contacted me and I thought I better get over here and let you all know I am alive and kicking! You all have no idea how much I appreciate your care and concern and sincere friendship through this time. My kids are doing AWESOME and we are just having fun and enjoying the warm weather!!!!! If any of you have Myspace, let me know so we can add each other!

I promise to try to update this page more than every few months...LOL I haven't scrapped in FOREVER, but I am sure I will one day again....maybe in the summer when life slows down a little!

I think of you all often! Sending out my love to you....
Tricia =)

Happenings in my life! =)

I haven't posted anything other than scrapping information or what my kids kick butt doing...LOL....but I know several friends visit and have no clue what's going on with us these days! After enduring a marriage that for 2 years was met with constant road blocks and arguing due to his inability to faithful, I am getting a divorce. Now, don't get all boo-hoo on me....Lord knows I did all my crying when I was trying to keep this together and I finally figured out when that smiley faced light bulb went off in my head that is was OVER! I have moved on, my kids are happy and now he gets to deal with his reality of life. If it weren't for my friends and my wonderful family, I would not be in such great spirits as I am today. Sure, I still have gloomy days, but instead of it being EVERY single day of my life......I have very few!!!!!

Now that that is out of the bag...LOL....the kids are doing great! I guess it's obvious I've sort of taken a hiatus from scrapping to just concentrate on me and figure out life again. The kids even noticed Mom was singing again and laughing, which apparently I wasn't doing too often. That was definitely an eye opener to hear your 10 and 5 yr olds tell you something like that. I love my kids so very much!!!!

I ask you to just pray that we stay safe and healthy and I will eventually get to scrapping again. It's been a nice little break and my DT term at CSS is ending at the end of February.....I'll be posting before that!

Love going to you all!!!!
Tricia

TAGGED!!!!

Tag! You're It!
I was recently tagged by my good friend Martha. This is one I haven't seen before. It's called the middle-name game and here are the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name).
3. After you are tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and your answers.
4. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and that they need to read your blog for details.)

So - here are my answers:

My middle name is ANN:

A= Articulate
N= Nerdy
N= Night owl

Have fun with this! I'm looking forward to reading everyone's answers! and now I'm fixing to tag: Ann, Lisa and Amanda L.!!!
