I did it!

Here you go, several of Jenna's latest drawings. I had to pick my faves from a huge pile and it was hard but I tried to choose a variety of poses, themes, facial expressions etc.

This nurse did not appreciate her patient pigging out on junk food



Love the girl laughing her butt off there!


She got this image from The Princess Bride but instead of the grandpa reading to his grandson, the mom is reading to her daughter. This is actually part of a story she wrote. I would have posted the whole story but it's huge. Maybe one day.


Apparently, the angel bunny brought these two together!



So, Jenna went thru a period where she could not find her library books and apparently the school library was giving her a hard time. She really got stressed out about it and didn't even like library day anymore. I finally found them but she made this drawing and it cracked me up. Check out the crazy lady on the far right there. lol



This was the cover to the story she wrote. I love all the little details in this one.



Ouch!


I think these boy dogs have a thing for the girl on the left. I love the dog wagging it's tail.



I think this sorceress looks so cool! I think she got this from Enchanted.




Cats in love. The girl on the right is the ugly girl apparently. Jenna's been into drawing ugly girls since she saw The Producers.



She's a very brave girl.




An adorable fairy. Jenna's been into these "Rainbow Fairy" books lately.




I just love all the poses here.



Just another one I think is so cute.



Ratatouille. Check out all the detail in the foods!







Animal high school



Poor guy, he didn't stand a chance!



She drew this one last night. I just cracked up over it. She's so adorable!



Okay, there's 20 drawings. Now rave about how awesome she is LOL

Well, here's a video :)

Oh and I do know that Marah's hair is ridiculous. I cut it last night. Those bangs were annoying the heck out of me. I tried to let them grow out but I couldn't do it.

careful

Me: I'll be right back, I'm going to the bathroom.

Marah: Okay mommy. Be careful on the toilet okay?

:)

slacker

I know, I'm sorry.

I do have pics, just need to upload them and that takes time and again, I'm lazy. It'll happen though, just bear with me.

this should tell you something...

I'm sooooo tired. My back has been getting so bad that it's really tough to sleep. Add some acid reflux to that and last night was miserable. I think I finally fell asleep at around 5 this morning and was up at 7. I can barely focus on typing right now, it's gonna be a long day. Eric started his job today so I'm here with Marah alone and she's pretty demanding of attention though she's being pretty good right now, just sitting next to me patiently playing with some cupcake decorative picks and waiting for me to put her movie on. It's either ET or The Princess Bride this morning so two nice long movies I may be able to get a little sleep on the couch before she starts making me actually play with her LOL!

Okay I am gonna do that and then maybe this afternoon if I don't nap during her naptime... which is unlikely but you never know, then I'll post a few pictures that I took this weekend. Otherwise I will try really hard to do it tonight after they go to bed.

Have a lovely day :)

lazy

yeah, I've pretty much been lazy lately. I'm just so drained of energy all the time. i need to figure something out cause this isn't working.

I haven't taken a single picture with my camera in so long! Again, total laziness. I just don't want to take the time to get it out and put the memory card in. It's not that I don't remember to do it... I just don't want to. It's that bad.

I've been sitting at the computer since I woke up (which was a 1 pm) and doing absolutely nothing. Just wasting time. Marah is in bed.

I don't think it's a depressed thing. Usually I kind of recognize that. I could be wrong though. I'll probably talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment. I really just think it's being pregnant. I was not this tired with the other two, but then again I didn't have two kids to care for all day at that time either.

I would lay in bed all day if it didn't hurt my back so much. That's the only thing that really gets me out of bed when Eric lets me sleep. I won't be able to do this anymore once he starts working though.

I have been feeling the baby moving. I'm almost in my 17th week and wow, last night I couldn't believe how much I could feel that little one moving. It was so weird, almost like how it feels toward the end when they're really big! It was like, rolling or something. Such a strangely unsettling and yet amazingly exciting feeling!

Eric's sister and her husband are coming over for dinner tonight so we have to get this place cleaned up. It's not too bad thankfully, so it shouldn't take too long.

I really need to document Jenna's drawing progress on here. I should try to take a picture every day (lol, yeah right) because the girl draws like at least 10 pictures EVERY day. It's insane! I seriously adore her drawings. Not only are they amazing for her age but they are so creative! I really don't know how she comes up with some of this stuff. I know that most of her inspiration is from cartoons and movies though. Even when she isn't drawing direct scenes from something, she is drawing some element from it. She cracks me up!

But I'm too lazy to go get the camera! Okay, but I promise I'll try to make myself take a lot of pictures of her drawings tomorrow and post them on monday.

Love,
me

Oh man, I gotta get used to this

Today Eric went to orientation for his job. I haven't been a stay at home mom without Eric here (since he's been out of work for so long) since August. I have been lazy lately, admittedly and I wanted to put an end to that today and make a fresh start. So I planned out the day to make sure that I wouldn't revert to my lazy ways and actually stay productive and have fun with Marah too.

So I'm exhausted. LOL It will take some getting used to I discovered. Marah was pretty good today thankfully, but yeah, I didn't take a nap which I've grown quite fond of, I went grocery shopping with her and since Eric wasn't home I had to make two trips up to the third floor of our building with arms loaded with groceries. Since I've been pregnant this is really a very difficult task and takes my breath away. I have been making Eric do this chore because I always feel like I'm going to have an asthma attack when I've done it lately.

Anyway, I made it through that and then Marah and I crafted a bit and sang songs and danced. I did the dishes and then made Marah's lunch and she went down for a nap. I managed to get the laundry folded that has been neglected the last week and then Marah and I went to get Jenna. When we got home the girls got their bikes out and played/rode for a while. It was so nice to be able to let them do that! Marah has had cabin fever this winter. It's such a depressing time. It finally is spring though (a cold one, but that's normal and it's actually warm for us at 40 degrees). Almost all the snow has melted though I know we are in for probably one more good snow fall before it's over.

Now I'm just beat and I have to make supper and I don't want to. I'm all crabby and I hate that. It probably doesn't sound like a very tiring day :) but for me it was. I hope that doesn't make me a major wimp.

I got a layout done yesterday. It took forever! I'm still so out of my scrapping zone and it feels almost foreign to me. It's sad. I think about how much things have changed for me since a year ago. Scrapping was my life! Now I have to force myself to do it. I still enjoy it and I'm always thrilled when I finish a page, but I don't want to do it all the time like before. And forget about designing anything! I have no creativity for that still. I hope it will come back sometime soon cause I could really use the extra money, but so far no luck.



Is anyone besides my mom still out there reading? :)

Not much

I feel like there's not much to say. I've been in a bit of a slump. Just hanging around the apartment, watching Enchanted over and over and feeling tired and sick. Not as sick as before though, so that's a blessing.

I am so tired today. I have been getting to bed WAY too late the last few weeks and having to get up early and I think it's catching up to me. This morning I had an appointment and I thought I was going to fall asleep in the car I was so exhausted. So I plan to nap a bit today. I know that once Eric starts his new job I'll be getting to bed much earlier since he and I both will have to get up early and therefore neither of us will be sleeping in. We've been getting to bed between 1 and 3 lately. Stupid.

We have been without cable for awhile now. I can't recall how long it's been but it's no fun. I don't even watch all that much TV but I feel very disconnected somehow. What's nice is that most networks allow free viewing of full episodes of their shows online so I've been able to watch those. Although, with the writer's strike there really hasn't been much to watch anyway so it's really just been keeping up with Ghost Hunters. But when The Office, Scrubs and ER come back (next week?) I'll be able to watch those as well which is nice.

Anyway, all this to say I've been bored. Eric has his online gaming and I used to have my scrapping but I have been sans creativity it seems for quite sometime so while I used to kind of enjoy having Eric play so that I could get uninterrupted scrap time, lately it hasn't been that way. I was getting tired of just sitting around bored while he played. Tired of waiting for him to finish up so that I could watch a movie with him or something. So I went to the library and got some books. I have missed reading. I wish I had a more comfortable reading chair though.

I actually did do a layout last night. It's simple but I am happy I did it. Here it is:



Okay, I'm too tired to say anymore. Love to all.
