a slump or just a bump...in the road?

So, I've been in a scrapbookin slump! While at work my thoughts will often turn to things I could be doing at home in my scrap room. All the projects I could be working on and of course I write all my ideas down. Then, when I get home, I am so exhausted that I go and stand in my room and just look at everything. So, is this a slump or a little bump in my road? Who knows right? And is there a difference?
I did spend some time cleaning up my scrap room from the busy week before Easter. I have to say I was pretty productive and creative that week, so I guess I can take a week off. It's just that I want to be creating so badly but when I get the time I am so exhausted. So that is the rub. But....I did get a raise this week at work, so that was a bright spot. More scrappin funds right???

I grabbed a notebook last night and started writing down things, anything, whatever came to mind. I think this will help get me back on track with my creativity.
I see, on a lot of blogs, that people get "tagged" from other bloggers and they complete little quizzes about themselves. Well, I've not been tagged by anyone, so I thought I would tag myself. Cause I think I'm pretty darn interesting (hee hee).
So for me (and you) here goes:

"Oh look, I got tagged by Ladybugs Momma" .... :o)

My favorite color:
purple, but I like black too...green is starting to grow on me cause it matches my eyes
Five things people may not know about me:
I love football
I hate to fold laundry
I want to drive a race car someday - really, really fast
Some days it is a struggle for me to get out of bed
I want to be a published author - someday
Three of my bad habits:
I am a procrastinator
I cut myself down on a daily basis (drives my hubby crazy)
I have a horribly difficult time making up my mind - the bad habit? I usually don't say "this is what I want" cause I can't decide what that is!!!!!
My dream job:
Gosh...to get paid to scrapbook
and... I would love to be a school counselor
My biggest fear(s):
Failing as a mother
MRI's
Someone breaking in to my home at night and...I cannot think about what horrible things they could do....
My guiltiest pleasure (food related):
baked potato topped with lots of butter, lots of ranch dressing and buffalo chicken strips cut up in pieces on the top. I'm not kidding....soooooo yummy!
Things I am thankful for:
My husband - who waits on me hand and foot and (I truly believe) he loves doing it.
My daughter - until she was born I had only dreamed of someone so beautiful, dynamic, full of promise and ambition. I am blessed that God gave me such a wonderful gift of being her mother!
My family - my father, my mother, my 5 brothers. What I wouldn't give to live closer to them...whenever I go home to visit, I NEVER want to leave. I cry every time we drive away!

Happy Friday to all !
