I am feeling so darn frustrated today! I have all this work to do and every time I get started and focused I get interrupted by something. I took Sam to playgroup this morning hoping that he would take a good nap and I’d be able to submit some insurance claims for Clint but, Sam didn’t take a very long nap and when he got up he was in the worst mood! I had to put him back in his bed which of course just pissed him off even more. So, needless to say, my whole afternoon was shot and no billing happened. Then I had to cook dinner, clean up the dishes and then give Sam a bath and read his bedtime story and put him to bed. Now I’m exhausted and don’t feel like working on the insurance billing! So, I took a little break and watched Blind Date Fear Factor. It was pretty good but, there was this really annoying guy who kept singing everything (instead of talking) we kept hoping that they would lose so we wouldn’t have to listen to him sing anymore.
That was my excitement for today. Tomorrow, I have to be at Clyde’s house to work on more Cortiva Institute - Colorado stuff. Guess I’d better quit procrastinating and get busy on the insurance billing!
I spent the weekend working at my computer. I had to install Apache web server, MySQL Server, and PHP module for Apache; all so I can do testing on features I’m working on for argainbay. Also, I’m making a website for Heather to promote her business…maybe that will help find more website development business for me.
I took Sam up to Ellis Ranch in Loveland, CO yesterday because they have a holiday festival set up for kids. It was soooooo much fun. We got to ride on a tractor and hunt for candy in a huge pile of hay. I tried to get Sam to sit on Santa’s lap, but he wouldn’t have any of that. I was pretty bummed because I was hoping to get some good pictures for scrapping and I wanted one that I could send out with my Christmas cards. Oh well, I still got some cute pictures of Sam. He fed the goats and checked out the live reindeer and we roasted a marshmallow which he wouldn’t eat! He tried to ride a tricycle with the other kids but, his legs were too short to reach the pedals so he just held on while I pushed him around the track. I think his favorite thing of all was “driving” the golf cart, which of course wasn’t even part of the festival! Leave it to Sam to pick the thing he isn’t supposed to be doing……
I guess because of all the excitement Sam decided he didn’ t need a nap–wrong! So, we went across the street to play with the other Sam for awhile. Then I decided to take Sam to Longmont, CO to see the local parade of lights. It was a really good parade and I think Sam had fun. He only lasted about 45 minutes, so we left a little early. It was ok, because he got to see most of the parade and really liked all the lights. He waved and clapped and seemed to really enjoy himself. It was pretty chilly too, so I didn’t mind that we left early.
So, I guess my next task is to download the pictures from Ellis Ranch and start deciding how I want to scrap them. I’m so excited!
Sam and I ran some errands this morning and I picked up a couple of Christmas gifts for him and Cliff. I started doing some part-time work for my old employer this week and picked up some insurance billing stuff from a Massage Therapist friend so, I have been pretty busy this week. Eric came over today to help me get my fax machine set up and that took the better part of the afternoon, but I am sooooo grateful that Eric was willing and able to get it working for me. I haven’t had time to scrapbook for almost a week and that totally sucks. I am working on another paper bag album and so far it is turning out pretty cute. I have been using some color coordinated blue papers. I haven’t done much embellishing yet, that will come later after I get all the pictures mounted. I am hoping to get caught up this weekend on my new part-time work so that I can do some scrapping next week.
