the life of a fotobug

a wee bit of a long week for me. same story on the work front. busy, busy & more busy. we were given another school in big sky to have ready by the 27th...if anyone needs work & wants to make good money...email me...we need all the help we can get. seriously...how are we going to get these done w/ just 5 of us? it seems like we get more work piled on us each day in regards to duties. we are now working w/ the cement floors & sealing them...which in itself is a couple days per room job. and we are also in charge of taking the plastic wrap off of 3000+ lights in the school! what? i may even have to also start working nights along w/ the days just so we can get it all done.

on the home front...CO speaking...
my aunt that was diagnosed w/ cancer got a "cleaner" bill of health on monday. tuesday she started having seizures. took her to the ER & she had an MRI...she now has brain cancer & in more places that one...the dr. said he stopped counting at 6 tumors. she is on seizure meds to keep those at bay. she decided & was able to make the decision herself to go ahead w/ radiation for 13 days to see if it would take the swelling on her brain down & buy her some more time. today they saw an improvement in the swelling & also in her speech. a bit better each passing day. please say a prayer for her!

i found a sitter for chloe for the fall. i am so stoked! i'm hoping this is the route i was meant to take w/ her instead of a preschool-daycare route. i'm hoping that 3 times is a charm & that camille will take care of her like she was her own. camille seems so super sweet & from our interaction at the park during out meet & greet she seems like a great fit w/ chloe & our family. she's a SAHM and her DH is in the army in korea right now. she's home w/ her 3 kiddos & wanted to find a couple kids to watch so she could stay @ home & work. i found her through craig's list...i was really there looking for camera lenses but saw the childcare link off to the side...so funny! i never in a million years thought to look there & it may be the best yet! this is her requesting i take her photo at the park w/ my phone...


also...
chloe is no longer calling me "janelle"...i'm mom once again. she has been so clingy this past week. i'm enjoying every minute of it. she's on her best behavior & using her manners. it's like someone pushed the reset button on her. however, she is starting to cuss...mostly saying ass & damn. what? i'm trying the hot sauce method for the next time. she is still loving her amie though...this is them at the pond...


i actually sb'd today. i completed 2 layouts...have to share them later because it's dark here & i have no light to take photos of them.

make sure you stop by our new stomping ground...PLAYGROUND OF MEMORIES...my friends syalynne, catherine & julie started it up & am so excited to have another place to chat & connect. & what's best is it's NO DRAMA...that's key girls!

and to all my friends out there...i am missing so much the time i used to have to call you at random & visit! the time i had to email you all! i wanna publicly proclaim to you all that i've not forgotten about you & that i love you all dearly...time is just not on my side now! i think about you all the time & wish i could just give you all a big hug. for now i guess you just have to read my boring life through this darn blog :) LOL
