Cutting edge

Ok, the next time Marc says use scissors I will listen. This morning while trying to be a helpful and loving wife, I slit my thumb open using my kitchen knives. I was trying to take some stupid tabs off of a brand new umbrella set Marc had brought. Dumb move Cyndi ( as I type with one hand ). Now I am praying it will heal on its on and I won't have to go into the doctor again. Between the nosebleeds and the high blood pressure I frankly have had enough of doctors for a while. The sad part ( for me ) was that I was on a roll and was only a few pages away from finishing the Disney album. Oh well, maybe it was a sign I needed to slow down. Thank goodness for a laptop or I would be going stir crazy at home. And thankfully it was not my right hand so I can still do some things. Ok, getting off now because my hand is starting to throb.

Half full or half empty ?

Ever have one of those days when it seems like nothing goes right ? Or you feel down and can't put your put finger on why ? Today was one of those days. If I tried to explain , it probably wouldn't make much sense. Maybe I'm just tired from all of the running around we have been doing the last few days. I thought scrapping would take my mind off of things. Instead the time alone just allowed me more time to think. I feel like there is soo much I should be doing, but today was not that day. I did accomplish something though. I cranked out 6 pages in my 2004 Disney album, and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I am only a few pages away from finishing the whole album. Yah !!!!!! So I guess if I think about it, today wasn't to bad of a day. Shows that you make a day what it will be. You can either choose to look at the glass as half full , or half empty. Today I choose to look at it as being half full.

Maybe its the fact that I have been to so many funerals for family and friends this week, or maybe the women in my life have influenced the way I view the importance of relationships, but I love spending time with my girls. Yesterday I spent the afternoon just hanging out with them at the mall. I remember the day when I realized my mom was more then just a mom, but also my friend. Another moment I will never forget is when my sister and I became best of friends. We try to talk with each other at least once a week and most weeks we are on the phone with our mom every other day or so. I hope that in some ways I have passed this tradition down to my daughters. Actually I know I have, because I see it each day in them with their bestfriends ( who happen to be their cousins ). These four young ladies call themselves "C-Unit ( the C stands for cousins ). They do everything together, and most weekends you will find them together at my home or at one of the other mom's homes. The best part about this is that I had that exact same relationship with their moms. It makes me proud to see the care that exist between them. I hope to see that same bond in my granddaughter's one day.

Hello

Not sure why I am doing this, except a good friend named PattyT set one up and I liked the look of it. I can keep up with friends and family and let them know what's happening in my family's daily life. The good, the bad, and the ugly I guess. Anyway, my name is Cyndi and I am a mother of three college age children ( who just happen to still stay at home ). So it makes life very interesting. I have been married for over 22 years to Marc, who is a minister. My favorite pastime includes several trips to WDW each year or so. I also love scrapbooking and photography. I recently got a new camera, which I can't wait to use at WDW. Hopefully next year my family will finally get to go on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas ( keeping our fingers crossed because we have had to postpone twice ). I am a "retired" SAHM ( when you consider I have spent the last 23 years at home with my children ). Now I am able to travel with hubby on business trips, and go out for dates with friends, and lunches with girlfriends. I consider myself a very blessed women. I also spend a lot of time on-line chatting witha very special group of ladies called the Dis-Scrapaddicts. I have even met a few of the IRL ( in real life ). When I am not chatting with them I am usually surfing the web checking out several scrapboards, or disney websites ( yes, I have a sickness for disney, hence the nickname disneyqueen ).

Most of my life has been spent in church. My grandfather was a minister, my uncle is one, my godfather and even my husband are all minister's. I guess this is my destiny.
