Ever get the blues?

Sorry for not blogging. Not exactly sure what's up with me. I can't get motivated at all. I feel a bit "down", just a sense of "blah". We were all sick last week and I am not quite better yet. Probably hard for you to understand what I mean but normally I am always pretty upbeat and get a lot accomplished in a day. That has not been the case at all for the past 5 days or so. I literally had to push myself to get on the Internet to check e-mail and post on my blog. Yesterday I was sitting here thinking I should get some closets organized or re clean Austins room. (He does the standard tidying and I go in every couple months or so and do a HUGE overhaul.) I couldn't stomach to do either. I haven't scrapped since Christmas. When I realized that I couldn't convince myself to get some of these things done. I just cried. Talk about ridiculous. I don't know what to do to get back to myself. I am so upset with myself for feeling this way but no matter what I do, it won't go away. Deep down I think I know what troubles me but I can't understand why it effects me so much right now when it has been a long term issue that can't be fixed and we have dealt with it for so long already. Mysterious I know, I don;t like to talk about it because it is a sore spot, I think in all this time blogging I only ever casually mentioned it once. What is it you ask? My inability to have another child. *wince* We have tried for years and no luck. I know we are fortunate to have Austin and should be happy about that but yet my heart yearns for another. For years I have felt like my family is not yet complete. It has struck me that I am going to be 30 this summer (July 12th), Every birthday just makes my chances more difficult. Recently so many people are having babies or getting pregnant and I think all the "being happy for others" is getting harder. Selfish huh?

Well sorry for the downer but it's the only thing on my mind and I can't shake it right now. I guess I just need to push it a bit further down and get on with life.

Love,

Grrrr... I suck at html

I managed to accomplish everything I wanted. But I could not for the life of me find the tag that relates to the "Snipits Of Me" located at the top in pink. I want it gone but cant find the right code in html for it to remove it. I have no trouble over on Coleen Slims Down- where I did a total overhaul.

Let me know what you think... the good the bad and the ugly.

Love,

Hooray!

I have managed to get my banner up there. Still have a few things to work out. I also fixed my title that appears in the very top of the browser bar.
It now says: Snipits Of Me {Coleen Thompson}

There is so much more I want to do, but I am taking baby steps...

I have to head out for a bit. Something kind of exciting and new for me (I hope). I'll post more about that when I return.

In the mean time let me know what you think of the new banner.

Love,
Coleen

So Frustrated, Please help...

I am desperate to redo my layout and give it a more "custom" feel. I have created my first EVER banner for the Title but I have no clue how to get it up there. Ladies with fancy shmancy blogs: can you help a fluffy gal out?

Here's what I have.. It may be a bit "rustic" as it is my first attempt.

Better yet, if any of you would like to toss your own creations into the ring perhaps you can be the one to come up with a better idea/design. Feel free I need all the help I can get!

Thanks ladies!

Love,

Coleen
