Surviving

So Alden has been gone for a week now and I miss him like crazy. He won't be home until late Saturday night sometime. It gets lonely at night and on the weekends. I thought I would get a lot of extra cleaning done while he was gone but that hasn't happened yet. I have been working on my scrapbook mostly because I am almost two years behind. I recently got some new things for scrapbooking and it has been fun. I haven't been very elaborate with the pages but they look decent and at least they are in a book instead of in a box. I have almost filled an entire 1 1/2" binder since Saturday which equals about 30 pages front and back. I have been forcing myself to clean the apartment between scrapbook pages and I actually think it makes my pages better because all of my creativity doesn't run out as fast. I'm sure when it comes to Saturday, I will be cleaning like crazy. My scrapbooking makes such a mess. I am lucky though. I have a scrapbooking table set up in our little living room that I can leave everything out and work on it when I want without having to drag everything out or worry about kids getting into my things. Of course I want kids, but these things are often easier without them around to color on the walls with the gel pens, pour out glue or wrinkle the paper. (I'm a little OCD about my scrapbooking supplies.) Not too much new in my life. We are SO busy at the hospital right now and I don't get very much help from Ted. But it makes the day go by fast and hopefully soon some of the patient will get discharged so I can have a break.

Until next time...
