Stressed!

I have not posted in over a week maybe even two. I have been under an enormous amount of stress. Business is down for our main family business and my Nikk's (dd) baby shower is on Saturday and I have been stressed over that. I have been making the "game gifts". I'll try and get some pics of those today. I haven't been able to buy anything for the baby yet and that makes me feel terrible. Right now paying the bills is more important. We had a nice family Easter. The girls had handmade dresses from their Aunt Sherry, she also made made dresses to match their off brand American Girl dolls.
I was doing some reading about Scrap booking and how we as scrapbookers focus more on our children and people in our family and hardly ever scrap ourselves. This article brought up a good point, if when our children are grown and have children and they have a huge collection of scrapbooks about their lives but hardly have anything in them about their mother, the person who put all this love and time into creating these books. I really thought about this for a while. In my own thoughts I do like to see photos of me when I was growing up but I love to see photos of my Mother who has been gone since 1986. I would treasure a scrapbook about her and her likes, dislikes, hobbies, her family, things she did for us, things she did for her church or friends etc. After thinking about it like that I want to devote some time to scrapbook about me for my girls. I hate having my picture taken and there is only a handful of photos of me in the last 10 years but I don't think it has to be about the photos but about the thoughts, and things I do in my life. This is one more thing I have to add to my plate. LOL What do you think?
