Matt went out of town yesterday. He will be gone until Wednesday night. I always miss him when he's gone. I can't go to bed on time, I wake up during the night, the kids seem just a bit more anxious. We all exhale when he finally walks in the door. I can't wait until he does!

The kids and I did some shopping yesterday. We sent Christmas gifts to the McAfee side. After paying shipping of $40 we decided we won't be sending gifts anymore. Only $$$$! I'm glad we are still participating in the gift exchange, it's just that by the time we have all shipped our gifts we've spent more on shipping than a single plane ticket!!! Live and learn!

It's amazing the difference a day can make. Sunday I was ready to throw in the towel with a number of things. Yesterday I felt a little better although I am still unsure. The emotional part is gone now, I'm weighing things in my head. We'll see.

I've done six layouts in the past couple of days. I looked through Q's baby book with her on Sunday. She really enjoyed it and we don't do it enough. I want her to be able to look at her book often. Anyway, it got me thinking I'm tired of obsessing over scrapping. I threw everything out the window and I'm doing some catch up. I want and need to get the story down before it leaves my mind. I'm working on our "home" album, the home I'm working on is our Clinton, UT home. It feels good to get things going. It feels good to scrap for me, for history. I enjoy 'artistically' scrapping as well, but I need to find balance. I want to keep my stuff caught up. I want to keep the details recorded, I don't want to constantly be thinking about other people liking what I scrap. I don't need to. So, for a while here I'm going to concentrate on catch up. Catching the memories before they slip through the cracks.
