Where is the time going?? School starts next week - yeah!! But also I must give a big nay. Since I help out at the kids school, that means it starts for me also. This year I’ll be there 5 days a week instead of 3 - which is ok with me. I do have another kid going there now, and they are letting my tuition payments go now for all three children for my help. This stay at home mom stuff is new to me, I’m so grateful for the barter - but still when do I actually stay at home. I have been home a year now. Wow (little man turned a year on Wednesday the 24th) and I’m never at home. I’m much busier running around than I ever was when I was working.
I’m a little bummed especially since I have not gotten anything done in the house that I planned on doing this summer. Me and my big plans - live and learn I guess.
The last 2 weeks have been especially busy - our church ladies had an Aloha bash that I had helped with. My goody buckets were a hit though - so I’m thankful. They did not turn out like I had in my head - but they were enjoyed by all anyways. The vacations in a bag (Vacation-what you take when you just can’t take it anymore) were more cheesy than I liked - but I think again I’m the only one that noticed. Again what I had planned in my head was a little to much work. I did win the limbo contest - and I have the bruised knees to prove it. Actually it was not a true limbo contest, although it did start out that way. It turned into a “how low can you go” contest. - with us crawling like army men on the ground. A true sight for the neighbors I’m sure. The only reason I won is because I have no rear-end. My skinny @@@ was what did it for me..
I started some Christmas knitting - I feel so ahead of the game. I slipper is ready for felting for the big hubby, and a scarf is in the works for Nicole. I’ve even tried some teeny-tiny mittens. I feel ahead of the game now - but give me time - somehow midnight knitting just calls me as the holidays near. Again mind and reality clash. I think a theme is flowing here.
I have pictures - but can’t post them for some reason I can’t upload. Maybe my batteries are to dead?? I don’t know. But they are on the camera awaiting. I have some good ones of Nicole modeling the Clapotis for me. We played supermodel (from the movie Superstar-gotta love it)
Kids are screaming - must stop this rambling for now. I can’t wait till hubby goes back to nights. I miss my routine, and I know I’ve been slacking with the writing.
Oh, and I finally made a deadline. I signed up for secretpal 6 A reason to shop where I get to buy things - but it sort of guilt free cuz it’s not for me. Gotta love it.
