    I agree with Jay, you do Stace. I just love all your layout. I love that photo of your Dad. I wish I have with my Mom's.

    Oh, I'm a yarn addict too. I'm crocheting two blankets at the moment.

    Have a great weekend!

    Wow, great pages.

    I have entirely too much yarn too (but for knitting), I'm just dying to learn how to crochet.

    You sure are talented!! I love all of these pages, and the last one?

    A wonderful, heartwarming page. I love everything about it, but most especially, I love the effect you created with his baby pic on one side of the journal and your notes on the other.

    Fascinating. Truly... :)

    Happy SS!

    Great pages. I love everything about it. The everyday things that we sometimes neglect, you made it into art.

    Happy birthday to your dad. A very heartwarming layout.

Feeling vaguely guilty

We live in a poor rural county. Studies show that your poor rural areas, or maybe just poor areas in general, are less likely to have books in the home and less likely to encourage reading in children. Schools obviously want to combat this, especially at the preschool & kindergarten level. The kids bring a book home from the school library every day, this month is 2 at a time for a special reading program, and are often given books by the local Literacy Council, the PTO and Scholastic Books(the schools earn points to get books to give away or keep in their library). Mayhem has been given 5 since the beginning of the year. He’s being given another one today (Goldilocks) This is where the guilt comes in. Mayhem doesn’t need those books. In that same space of time the boys have checked out 17 books from the county library, in addition to the 4-5 a week from the school library and I have bought/traded for 8 more. The boys have 6 shelves stuffed with their books in the house, plus...

Traffic was moving at 20mph on I75 for nearly the whole time we were on it.  No reason for it. No construction, no accidents, no flat tire or cops having pulled someone over (why would they, we were 50mph under the speed limit). At one point I had to pull over so DH could hack his way into the underbrush & find a spot for Havoc to poop. I'd been hoping to reach an exit for 10 minutes by then & only gone a couple of miles.  I seem to have a ton of laundry to do.  I'm not sure how that happened because I did laundry the day before we left. There should only be 4 sets of clothing & 2 of Pjs from that day waiting for us when we got home. I did laundry the night before we left FL as well. So there should b...
