Today has been 7 business days since I emailed the Guided Studies teacher for help. She also got a request from the principal the same day. 7 business days. And just think, this woman is supposed to provide 2 - 3 hours of work for Sean each week, or support him with the work he already has, but is falling behind with. I think she sees this as a vacation. I just reminded the principal that we've had no contact from her. Again, I digress. I am scrapbooking. I am part of the ScrapHappy … [Read more...]

LOAD520 – Day 5
May 6, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Today I had to take Archie to the vet. He has this hot spot thing going on, which became infected. Sigh. He's on antibiotics now. Go Archie! Today felt almost normal. Almost. I couldn't go into the vet, she called while I sat in the car. I didn't sign for the credit card bill. After the vet, I stopped by Hicklebees to pick up Seans new book. Then I played Pokemon Go for an hour or so. It was so nice to be out. I felt almost bad about it. But, I digress, it's a LOAD day. Abbey … [Read more...]

One of my favorite parts of LOAD is signing up to be a guest designer. I love getting the prompt early, taking my time, thinking hard, and really making a special LO. I do things I don't normally do. This time was no different. Abbey LOAD Day 4: I Saw Her Standing There. Story: Tell the story of an original vs. a reproduction/copy. Technique: Scraplift a layout! I must tell you that the email I got included the script that Alice was going to use for that video. She referenced Tiffany … [Read more...]

Back to Abbey LOAD! Today we are looking at the album Meet the Beatles, specifically "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Story: Story about hands... holding hands, aging hands, helping hands, little hands... Technique: Blue/shadows inspired by album cover. Yep. I've got this. Well, I thought I had it. John really enjoys taking pictures of Sean and I holding hands. I've scrapped one before, it was at Christmas in the Park, years ago. Then I was like, no. No. I don't want to do that. So I … [Read more...]
LOAD 520 – Day 2

It's beyond hard to realize that we have been in this house for 7 weeks. Seven weeks. Breathe. Seven joyful weeks. Seven weeks full of complaining about school work. Seven weeks of avoiding reading. Seven weeks of the question "can I play Fortnight." Over and over again. But, I digress. Beatlemania: Story: Something you were/are crazy about; Technique: Subtitle/caption a photo on your page Well. I'm crazy about Sean, right? And he is crazy about Fortnight. One thing John and I … [Read more...]
LOAD 520 – Day 1

Today, for the first time in a long time, I feel like blogging. There is so very much to blog about. Today, is the 48th day of shelter-in-place in Santa Clara County because of Covid-19. I've not been to the grocery store in literally 3 weeks. I need to go too. I'm so missing fresh fruit and vegetables. We are out of milk. One thing we are not out of is flour. Around the time I went to the grocery store last, I also purchased 50 pounds of King Arthur's artisan bread flour. Commercial … [Read more...]
