When it comes to scrapbooking, the one thing that I have a very hard time with, is the journaling. My first couple of albums basically had titles on the pages. I'm trying to work on that...english just wasn't my subject. So any tips you can give me, to help learn how to become better at journaling is welcome. Here is a page about me. I tried to be as honest about myself & how I feel, so here goes.

Journaling:
My life. My life is not perfect by any means. I’m constantly juggling, trying to keep some sort of balance. Within this balance, the one thing that I really try to be, is a good mom for both of my kids. There are days when I feel overwhelmed by the demands that come with being a single mom. I struggle to keep all of my financial responsibilities in line. I find sitting down to pay the bills so tedious. I wish that I could just hand over my checkbook & the stack of bills to someone else to take care of once in a while. I worry while I’m driving around for my job. What if I were to get into a car accident. My kids…who would take care of my kids! “Please God, watch over me & keep me safe, for my kids.”

Being single has its’ good points & bad. One thing that I DO really like about being single, is that I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. If I don’t get home until 5:30 instead of 5:00, fine. If I feel like sitting down at my desk & scrapbooking for hours, fine. And there are times that I just like to chill out & forget that the stairs need vacuumed, or that the lawn needs to be mowed, fine with that too.

I try not to stress too much, and just enjoy life. Because if there is anything I’ve learned in my 39 years, it’s that life is way too short. I’ve had to deal with the death of family members that were taken from us at such young ages. My father (52), a brother (21), and two sisters (41 and 44). You learn to appreciate what you have.

So, I guess what I’m trying to say, is that I feel so very fortunate for my two kids, and the life that I live. My life has been a blessing…even with all of it’s Imperfections
