pancho pics and scrapbooking feva

So i just had a little break down. feeling totally overwhelmed. still haven't figured out the whole "balance" thing. its just hard. i work 11 hour days, all by myself, then have all the house hold what nots to take care of. and then the whole "working out" thing. i'm not throwing myself a pity party over here (maybe a little......) because this is what i chose to do and i love doing it. i knew it would be hard starting up. its just kinda sucks. i'm sooooo exhausted by the end of the day, i can barely cook dinner let alone go to the gym! steve told me that its ok to take this week off from working out while i get used to the new schedule and everything. i seriously needed him to tell me that, too. he's like- "your body is exhuasted, give it a break" love him. but i also figured out another solution. Tivo. yep, thats right. i'm gonna get me some tivo. that way, i can tivo my 10 pm shows and watch them an hour earlier the next day, and then go to bed a whole hour earlier. and that way i'll get more sleep. and i need sleep. right now i'm doing about 6 - 7 hours, and i need like 8 to not be tired. i'm so smart. we'll see if it works............
oh! and another exciting thing, i just got TWO more FULL TIME kids!!!! woo hoo!!!! i'm officially full two days a week, with only 2 openings on 3 days. so thats really good, cause it means a)i'm finally MAKING money, no more asking hubby for help or breakin even. MAKING. of course, it should all be going strait to credit cards........... but whatever
and b) i'll be able to hire an assistant soon! and that will help ease a lot of my stresses!
as for right now, i'm using the money to treat myself to a SPA DAY at my fav day spa- Arezzon Salon (in Carlsbad for all the yokals) the saturday after my bday. i always do spa days for my bday, so it works out. and i'm also going to hire a cleaning service for help doing my big spring cleaning. yeah, i'm coppin' out like that. but it IS a write off............

ok, now here are the fun time pancho pics. woo hoo!!!

me and steve, all pancho'd up

paula holding the crazy noise maker thingy's that the koreans had. someone left theirs in the *chaos* of the rain, so she grabbed it. score.
we look like a gigantic smurf with 3 heads here. and i'm all goober-faced. yeah, that'd be the margaritas and beer i'd been drinkin.n........
dancing the rain away..........


Yes, i know, steve is a dork. but so am i, so we make the perfect couple........

and yay! i finally got some scrappin done! i was inspired by Darcy's lo here, using this fab chester pp from me and my big idea. i bought it and loved it but wasn't sure what to do with it. love how darcy used it with green. i was totally thinking pink, and it wasn't working for me. so thanks darce! you're the best : ) just busted it out real quick last night. my fav pic of me and my girlfriends in hawaii last month. love love love the scenic route chipboard letters i got............

now i'm going to take a nice hot bubble bath, read my scrapbookingi magazines, and get inspired. hopefully i'll even have time to get a little scrappin done!
