Happy Friday to one and all, and yes, it is Friday Freebie time. This week I have some pretty girly pink and blue papers up for grabs. Along with five papers, there are some staples, a little tag, and a piece of paper edging. Please enjoy ... you can download the freebie here or here or here.

Today started off with a bang. I sat down at the computer, typed up a letter to a teacher, plugged the boy's flashdisk in to print off something he had done in PS for a class, and the power went off. It was a local blackout, and I wasn't too worried until I realized that it was almost time to drop the kidlets off at school, and the car was behind the garage door which was powered by electricity. Hmmmm ... too far to walk, what to do, what to do?

I know, ring the hubby who has had the good sense to recently change jobs and relocate a mere 15 mins away. He came home, rescued the damsel in distress by getting the car out of the garage using brute strength and mighty intelligence, jammed two screwdrivers inside the garage so that the door couldn't be raised by a passing thief while I was away, and headed off back to work. Of course, all the traffic lights were out as well, which was a little daunting ... lots of late parents getting their progeny to school in a hurry without the help of traffic lights!!!

We made it ... on time! All the way home, I chanted quietly to myself ... don't press the button to open the garage door, there are screwdrivers jamming it!!! And I didn't! Then when the power went on, I tried to 'hook' the door up again ... finally got there. Are you exhausted yet? It's only 9.15 am ... lol. Lots of things to do today ... some of which involved the shops. Do you know how sad it is to move out of kids' wear into adults' wear ... the boy has outgrown the kids' section and it is quite a strange feeling to hunt for clothes for him in the 'grown-up' section. *sigh* ... just another sign that our childhood is rapidly coming to an end! Must finish off ... I have a layout to finish off, and then I hear my bed calling. More next time ...
