The Crazee Chick's View of Life

If.... A powerful, yet insignificant-looking two letter word, that sneakily embeds itself into our thoughts and makes us question our life and the choices we've made along the journey. If.... The word can cause us pain or pleasure... What 'if?' 'If' can cause us to stick to the beaten path or to chose the one less traveled. If... The other night I had my own experience with an ' if.

The first thought that sneaked in was a negative one where I admonished myself for spending hours enthralled in a pointless pursuit (I'm not making the world a better place, I'm not saving a life, I'm not curing cancer...I'm not even cleaning the toilets!!) and then I came to the conclusion that I obviously had NO LIFE!

Is it okay to ignore my children while I create scrapbook pages about them? Today I learned how to do my very first layout using Photoshop. I am so excited! The papers and elements are from Shabby Princess...they are free..free.. free...I tell you! I must run now and stop being a bad mommy...Zee is begging to do K'nex, the girls have learned how to make fudge on their own (made 3 batches!), and all of them have learned the fine art of conflict resolution (ie. they had one heck of a fight and managed to solve it with only a minute amount of mediation by moi) and I haven't even thought about dinner yet (it's 6:25pm) but...*giggle*...I got some creative time today! Hee...hee...
