Not Everyone’s Mama | Not Everyone's Mama

So, Miss Katiana got her big girl bed yesterday and she slept in it until 6 a.m.! No whining, no crying, just so excited to get her bed! It was like Christmas over here! Here’s the page I made of her sleeping in her bed.

The kit that I used was Strawberry and Flowers from Carola who does such wonderful work!

The template is from Maya’s Mom who makes awesome templates that I’m addicted to! This one had room for 2 photos, but since I didn’t want to risk waking Kat up with the flash, I just took one pic and made the journal box bigger.

Alrighty! Got another page done today. This is a picture of Jordan on his first day of school. He was not happy that they didn’t have snack or rest time anymore, in fact, he’s still not. But there are so many other fun things he is doing, that I think he’s getting over it!

The kit is a back to school mini freebie from Amy C. The template which I used a little differently came from Kim Lizzy.

My Layouts

Posted by Heather Manning On September - 18 - 2006

Am I HTML stupid?

It’s possible. Very possible. I mean, I used to write out web pages by hand. I know things are more complicated now with newer things to use, but I thought I was pretty good at straight HTML.

Can you not post a table in your blogger posts? I tried to make a table of the scrap freebies below so that you wouldn’t have to scroll so far down to see them. It really looked nice, 3 in a row, all neat and spaced, AFTER you scrolled past the foot of empty space in the post. GRRRRR! Then, I went and looked up HTML and tables to make sure I had my code right, and I did. So, what’s up with the empty white space?

Maybe I’m just blogger stupid?

Oh well, for the time being, if you want to check out the scrap freebies, you’ll have to scroll a little bit.

U Gotta Go Somewhere

Posted by Heather Manning On September - 16 - 2006

This is ridiculous

I came across a post on a blog I read a lot called The Wooden Porch. The blog pointed these 2 news articles here and here. And I just have to ask why?

Why do our kids “need” these things? I’ll admit, my daughter has a bratz doll. But, she won’t have one of the new ones that are out. And with that, she may not have another one. She loves her Strawberry Shortcake thank goodness!

I was joking the other day with my family that they needed to make low rider diapers. All the cute jeans out now in her size (2T) are more or less the same style as juniors, just smaller. And her diapers hang out the back. Now, of course I was joking when I said that about low rider diapers, but is that what they’ll come out with next? For those toddlers who need to be sexy and show some hips?

I can just about promise daddy wouldn’t let any sexy undies/bras in the house for Katiana when she is 6, and if he did, he’d be sleeping somewhere else. We are just forcing our little ones to grow up way to fast now a days.

You put what where?

So, Katiana is potty training, which means she is diaperless most of the day. And sometimes, she takes off her own panties. In one of these moments, she came up to me crying, “it hurts, it hurts.”

What hurts???? “My butt.”

So, I laid her down and looked and guess what I found? A popcorn kernal, in her toosh. She put it there all by herself. Why? I don’t know. The one day I make popcorn, she finds a kernal and sticks it in a very inappropriate place.

My mom works at our doctor’s office, so I called and said, ” is there a nurse standing near you?”

“Why?”

And I told her, she wanted to know where she got the kernal from? Mom, is that important right now? LOL She said she’d call me back.

When she called me back, after her and the nurse had a good laugh, she said that yes, it would pass. Don’t dig it out. LMAO Like I would do that on my own. Man, I was afraid it would go up further.

So, we laid down for a nap. And she woke me up, “I pooped for you mom!”

“Did you get the kernal out?”

“Yes, I got it out for you mom!”

She was so happy.

This I think tops the Olive Garden mint up the nose.

My Life

Posted by Heather Manning On September - 15 - 2006

Finally, Some FUN!

I’m so sad. Really, I am. It doesn’t take a lot to excite me right now while I’m not supposed to be doing anything much.

Yesterday was Pato’s day off, so he took me and Katiana to the Olive Garden. YUMMY! Bad me, I ate so many bread sticks and so much soup, I couldn’t even touch my meal (fettucini) and brought it home. Ok, maybe not bad me, cuz I get it for lunch today! Woohoo!

Then, we went grocery shopping, me in one of those little motorized wheel chairs. Fun fun. Katiana, in her cart, kept peeking her head around daddy and would giggle and say, “Mommy, you riding too!”

Lesson learned here, never take 2 carts grocery shopping. We spent about $80 more than we normally do. 2 carts can be deceiving, you think you have less than you do. Woops! Oh well, we should be set on food for awhile.

Then, I came home and took a nap while Pato put the food away. And then, the real fun. My mom wheeled me around the casino in a wheel chair. Surprisingly, I don’t feel to bad today. I think it’s cuz I didn’t actually stand a lot yesterday, I got pushed. Did I win? No, but I had so much fun getting out of the house, away from the kids, and hanging with my mom and dad, who are actually really cool.

) We don’t learn that til what our 30′s?
