TGIF!!
I am happy its friday!! I hope to find time to sew today but I won't hold my breath!! I've been on the run all week so I really have alot to get done at home today.
The laundry is almost caught up, spending time finishing it up this morning after my oldest goes to school should have it caught up for the weekend.
I also need to spend time in the kitchen, unload and reload the dishwasher, straighten up and sweep, ya know it needs mopped too, maybe I should put that on the list too!!
The living room...well right now I am using one of the couches as a folding area for all the laundry so I won't be able to do much in there until the laundry is finished and the clothes are put away.
The bathroom needs just straightened.
I took away all the trash yesterday so maybe I will be able to spend tomorrow grocery shopping for next week and mowing. I love to mow!!
I may get to that sewing, maybe not its more important for me to have things caught up for the weekend, makes for a more relaxing weekend!!
Hope you have a great friday and a wonderful weekend!!

Getting the itch....
TO SEW!!!!!
So now that I am not babysitting anymore I am hoping to have lots more time to work on all those projects that I have ideas for tucked into the back of my mind!!
I was able to return a good bit of baby stuff that I used for babysitting that I stored in Kara's room. Poor girl her room was just practically storage except for her crib which she sleeps in. Now that I have returned most everything there actually is alot of room in there and ya know what?? Little miss has no curtains on her window, a shade but no curtains, she has no decorations on her walls, poor girl.
But Mama is about to make that all better, I bought some cute fabric yesterday and on the agenda for this week is to make something cute for her window!! I am thinking of just a valance, I don't want anything that hangs down that she might want to grab a hold of and swing hang off of. I know sounds a bit extreme but let's remember I had 2 boys before I had this little girl and there isn't much that suprises me these days. LOL The things these kids come up with sometimes I tell ya makes my head spin!! LOL
Then I think I need to come up with some cute wall decorations.
And yes I know its already Wednesday, the plan for today was to take dh's gram to the dr, run a couple errands and now I am home to catch up the laundry. I hope to get most if not all of it done today and I'll finish it up tomorrow if I need to then the plan is to sew, sew, sew!!
I have lots of ideas swimming around in my noggin!! And I can't wait to get started!!

Good Monday Morning!!
Ahhh I sit here listening to my youngest kiddos play. My oldest is off to school already.
My day today will be spent at home catching up from our busy weekend. Our intended company didn't make it after all due to car trouble. They were missed we were all really looking forward to spending time with "Uncle Mike and Liz". Technically not my kids uncle but as the saying goes friends are the family you get to pick yourself!!
We had a busy weekend just the same though, Saturday we went to the "Weekend in the Park" as this weekend was the big Apple Blossom Festival. I love going to the park, that is where they have all the craft vendors. I saw lots of great things and picked up a few great ideas for hm gifts.
We left the park, get some lunch then came home because dh had to work from home for a few hours. While he worked inside the kids and I were outside enjoying more of the georgeous day!! I mowed the grass, I love to mow and my mini me Kara was along for the ride!! I think she likes mowing as much as I do!! She and I were out too long though and we both ended up sunburned :(
After Dh was finished working I had most of the mowing done, we went out again to dinner then to the bookstore, my weakness, we bought a bunch of books from their marked down bin, the boys got a couple books and I got 2 more books from the mini series of books by Wanda Brunstetter that I am reading. Then home again.
Sunday we got ready for church, then came home for lunch, dh stayed home with the boys for some guy time- they did some "honey do" chores for dh's gram then came back to play video games and board games. My mom, Kara and I went to the cemetary then to visit my gram and Paps house, then we came home watched a movie with Kara, "Tangled" (We watch this movie EVERY day with Kara, lol its her favorite right now!!) Then we picked up Mike's gram then all of us went out to eat for an early Mother's day dinner.
When we crawled into bed last night we were exhausted!! It was a busy and full weekend but a great one!!

Why is it when...
Its beautiful outside I have a million inside things that need doing?
Why is it that its beautiful outside and so I open to windows to enjoy the awesome breeze and warm air only to cough and hack because of the pollen?
Goodness sakes..
Why is it when I have a million things that need doing am I sitting here on the net??
LOL Seriously I am just taking a break, I do need to get back to it soon though.
I am in the process of cleaning out Kara's room which has become a catch all of babysitting stuff and since tomorrow is my last day to babysit I need and want to get it all gathered up so I can return it. Which brings me to another WHY IS IT.... Why is it when your trying to clean up and organize you inevitably end up making an even bigger mess than you began with in order to accomplish your task?? I'm just saying!!!
Luckily for me Dh is working a little late tonight so I should be able to get everything set to order in her room, and work on sorting the borrowed stuff so I can return most of it tomorrow.
I also need to finish the laundry, do the dishes and a general pick up of the main living areas of the house but I am getting there!!
Oh and did I mention that we may be having overnight guests this weekend, ummm yeah, I GOTTA GO!! Gotta get by butt in gear... Which reminds me I saw a tshirt at Walmart that said
Super Mom
Super Wife
Super Tired
Yeah thats me!!
Hopefully I can check in tomorrow!! Have a great evening!!
