Just for a laugh- my little undo.

You know Being a stay at home mom truly is the toughest job on earth.... because everything I do all day gets undone in a matter of minutes, even seconds. I call my little blessing my little "undo". And though only a scrapbooker will really get why I call her undo.... It has really made me realize why I do scrapbook. Because scrapbooking is the only thing I can complete that does not get destroyed in 30 seconds. That is unless I leave a layout out on the table and walk away.... five minutes ago I folded an entire basket of towels.....by the time I got to the last towel, she was busy "helping" me with the first one I had folded.... so much for that task.

This was my facebook status this morning.  Its simple I scrap because it is the only task I can complete that does not get destroyed.... The side story is that a few weeks ago I had slaved over a layout at Archivers for several hours, when I got home I took a picture of it so I could post the photo here, and left the layout on the table overnight because it was too dark in the room where I keep my albums, and I did not want to turn on the light and wake up my little undo with the light as the living room light creeps under her door. Besides, why risk the noise of dropping the album or something like that...Ill just put it away in the morning.  Yup - except in the morning I was so excited to post the layout here that I forgot to put it away and while I was writing, I heard silence. The kind of silence that makes a mom go uh-oh... You guessed it- she was in there "helping you" with my layout. Now undone two year old style. The lesson here? Learn to see in the dark like a cat. 

The other night she was "helping you" in my scrapbook room. The thing that kills me is that she did this two feet from me, she grasped a small container that I had those little bitty brads in and before I could reach out to stop her she had twisted the cover and the itty bitty brads went flying... This was only after the night before when she had done the same thing with my favorite embossing powder... I think I have had enough "helping you" in my scrapbook room baby. I love you, but you are hereby banned from my space.  Thank God for my BFF and her own little scrapbook lesson- about magnets and brads.

This is why I now put my layouts away immediately after taking the photo and why I clean up my scrapbook room between layouts.  Besides my studio is my place to think and who can think in the midst of a two year olds mess?
