Devastating news for the girls

2009-03-30T10:14:00.000-07:00

Hi all wow what a weekend it has been my girls have been in the gymnastics team for two years and all the parents got a letter on Saturday saying it will be the last one as they are no longer going to run it. All the girls at gym were devastated so as soon as i got back home i went onto the internet to see what clubs i could try And if by magic i phoned one and they were doing trials that day for there team AND you guessed it they got on the team so like a mad mum all weekend i have been calling all there friends tracking the parents down to take there girls to the trial so far eight are on.

I think this was fait as this club has the best reputation but it will mean less social time for me as the girls will be working out more hours but i guess a mother has got to do what a mother has got to do right they want it so bad so who am i to stand in their way they have my undevided attention any way i just wanted to post this card i have made as a thankyou to the instructors who have been there for the girls.......

THINGS HAVE BEEN BUSY

2008-08-09T05:49:00.001-07:00

I took my mom and the girls to weston for a few days as my husband matthew was working it was very windy we sure got sandblasted on the beach but it was fun.Talking of sand we saw the most amazing sculptures made from sand i was totally blown away by them and i thought i was creative hugh so i will show you a few photos to see what you think....

I do intend to scrap these photos but i am swaying to make a mini book to keep them altogether what do you think does this sound good ......

Work on the other hand is not looking to good as we have been on short time now for months hence all the scrapbook layouts i have been doing when the girls have been at school.We were told today out of 125 45 will be made redundant in august so as you could imagine the atmosphere is so sad but hey my family are all in good health i have a roof over our heads and i have met some amazing people on this AWESOME WEB SIGHT SB.COM hugs to you all xxxxxxx
