{head above water}
Do you ever get that feeling that things are just speeding along and you are doing everything in your power just to keep up? Well, that is how life has been lately. The semester is almost over at work and the kids have finished testing. Erik is looking for a job...well, I am looking for a job for Erik, LOL, he hasn't started looking on his own yet. He will be 16 in a couple weeks (16 days!) and my goal is for him to be employed by then!
Ryan is counting the days until he turns 18 (in 14 days!) and for graduation (5 weeks away)!! Prom is this weekend and Ryan picked up some extra work at the tux shop to pay for his tux rental and for some extra spending cash. They will ride in a Limo all the way to Anaheim. I hate that they have the kids travel so far for prom. The school even called to let the parents know that the 91 freeway heading home will be closed that night...GREAT!
My latest layout was created from a personal challenge given to me by Minda over at TallyScrappers. 
I took plain black card stock then drew the overlapping circles with white Sharpie and colored them in a bit with the red Galaxy Marker. 
I then took what was the inside roll of my glue dots and stamped the paper with white inked circles. 
Everything is then lifted off the page by using foam squares.
Been loving the vintage pin-ups like this one 
and came across these other FUN sayings, LOL 
and my favorite one: 
Okay, I have had a few request for pole dance pictures or scrapped pages...so here is one for now. NO LAUGHING...
