Busy Busy Busy

That is what I've been lately. BUSY!! We went to Texas for Thanksgiving .... spent 5 fun filled days with Trafton's family and headed back home. We realllllly miss Lori, Charlie and their boys. Wish they were right next door!! I literally went straight back to work the next day and then all the Christmas "duties" started getting piled on. We've got lots of birthdays, benefits, birthdays, parties etc. in the month of December.... so that has been taking up some time. Trafton was laid off right before Thanksgiving (not to worry though... he is already embarking in another super cool field... he is IN HEAVEN.... part of the pro staff on Arctic Outdoors TV and helping with Castle Rock Media)... and I am back to working full time again. It has been a HUGE change for me over the past year.... I really miss these boys....
I always had so much time (as a stay at home Mommy) with them and time to do all of the things that I love to do(ie. read, scrapbook, paint, photography, gardening). But times have changed in the Hayne household and the show must go on. So I am doing ultrasound at a hospital close to home 4 days a week. I try to be crafty when I can.... it's just that work, taking call at the hospital and the boys take up most of my time these days. I have a painting to show off soon and I have completed 3 client scrapbook albums in the past 4 months. I wish I could share some of the fun stuff I have done, but since they are not my kiddoes, I will leave it up to their parents to do the sharing. I promise that 2011 (after I take my ultrasound PHYSICS board... yes... I am studying for physics then my vascular technology boards follow)..... UGH... I will tell you, I think I found the cure for insomnia though..... PHYSICS... just is NOT my cup of tea.... and this old mommy brain does NOT retain things like it used too!!
OK... back to my resolutions... I am going to spend more time with girlfriends.... get back into pilates (have I told you that I fell in LOVE with Pilates over the last few months?).... and post more of my scrappy/creative projects. PROMISE. I have an awesome 700 sq. foot studio that needs to be put to work. I am even planning on making some Christmas gifts this year!!! FINGERS CROSSED!!
This whole blog began as a scrapbooking/creative blog but has turned into a "keep the family and friends updated" blog since coming to Colorado. So now that I have updated you all... I promise to share some more creative stuff in the short future. Bear with me.... this whole working mom thing is exhausting!!! But we are still happy that we moved here and have truly found a home here. We miss everyone terribly but always love to hear from you guys!! Thanks for checking my blog faithfully and for all the sweet comments. It is always nice to hear from you!!
