Busy week!

You ever have one of those days (weeks, months, lives?) when you just wish you could say "Stop the world! I want to get off!"?

OK - today I'm supposed to manage 3 kids, clean the kitchen, do home school for the 2 older kids, be available for work between 1-5pm, go get my left foot checked out (I think I broke something - again!), go do allergy shots for Zane, clean the house, do laundry, cook dinner and whatever else has slipped my mind...all with a smile on my face. Yeah, right.

My sweet grandmother just called - she is my dad's mom. She is also Meg - which can be confusing but is cool in that she is a pretty amazing lady. She invited us for lunch on Sunday - it's been too long since we've seen her so I'm glad we're going to go over there. I wish she lived closer - she's only about 20-30 min away but with Atlanta traffic and that pesky thing called life, we just don't see her as often as I wish. It would be really cool if she lived in the townhomes down the street- then we could just ride our bikes over (something else we don't get to do as often as we'd like).

So - I do a lot of downloading of digital freebies for digital scrapbooking. I use a lot of online file sharing sites....I've developed some faves and I thought I share my thoughts with you...here goes:

1. www.esnips.com - free; 5gb of space - no wait for downloads; can be a bit persnickety sometimes.

2. www.4shared.com - 5 gb of space; free; BUT you have to wait for download links unless you have a premium ($$) account; pretty reliable.

3. http://rapidshare.com/ - bigger - more space and bigger files; free - BUT you have to wait (sometimes 90 seconds) for link unless you have a premium account.

These are the main ones I see from the digi scrapping world - I know that there are many others...feel free to add your faves in the comments section.

BTW - www.woot.com has a killer deal on an 8gb USB thumb drive today...check it out.
