So who else stayed up late last night? I couldn't get Brenden to go to sleep without me, and I was up for Heather's chat 'til midnight... Super tired now, but I can't sleep anymore atm. Brenden went back to sleep after moving by my feet at 8am...

So glad I am off work today! LOL

If you haven't noticed in the last week or so, I've done some house cleaning in my links section. It had gotten really large, and I wasn't using many of the links very often. So, I re-arranged and removed as needed. But, the newest change is in the CT section... I'm a full time Dirty Girl now!!! YEAH!

I just stopped by DD, and found I got LOTD yesterday for "Cute As Can Be - Datebook Cover 3" using Color Revolution - Tempting Turquoise by Connie Prince and Checkbook Templates by Penny Springmann!!! Whoo-Hoo!

Anywho - I need to go put a movie in the kids are clammering for, get breakfast, and start laundry before I can get back to my January challenge list so I'm off for now!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

It is so amazing to me what you accomplish on a daily basis. And the fact that you did 6 lo's in what 5 hours. AMAZING!!

I love the barn picture.

I totally forgot that Kristine tagged me yesterday. Now I have something for tomorrow as it seems I won't get much done.
