Rambling On

Now that my shifts have been cut back at my outside job, I have decided to try to get my home crafting business up and running once again. The first items that I plan on creating will be some handcrafted sewing bags. But to do this, I need to go shopping. Our local fabric store is having a huge sale this week so I think this is the perfect time for me to do some fabric shopping. I’m hoping to have all my fabric bought by this weekend so I can get started on this particular craft. Wish me luck and as soon as I get one made, I’ll be back to post the pictures.

Yay! March break it over. What a long week! Last week both the kids were home and I have to say, that this was probably the longest week of my life. I normally don’t look forward to Monday mornings but this morning, you couldn’t keep me in bed. Now with both kids out of the house, I can finally get cracking on all my work that needs to be done. I have a lot of housework to do, need to do some blogging, write some articles on personalized gifts and do some grocery shopping. But even knowing all this work lies ahead of me, I’m still happy that it’s finally Monday!

This past week has been a really bad week. My two youngest kids were home from school all week for their school’s March break. Well I’ve got to tell you, that this was not fun. They fought the entire week and honestly, I am seriously exhausted. Because of all this fighting I wasn’t able to get anything accomplished this week. I just couldn’t concentrate on anything. I had all sorts of plans for this week and every one of them got pushed to the wayside. I really wanted to re-do my living room, but couldn’t even find the strength to dust my tv stands. Thankfully the end of the week is in sight and in a couple of days these two will be back in school. Maybe then I’ll be able to get a little bit more done around here.

A couple of years ago my husband and I bought a brand new pop up camper trailer. So for the past couple of years we have been given a personal invite to attend our annual RV show that is held in town. Well this weekend was the show. Yesterday we loaded up the kids and headed off to the show. Well, the amount of used travel trailers that they had for sale would have absolutely blew your mind. I really don’t think we will be purchasing anything or trading up this year, but the show was still fun to go to and see what is out for this year. Maybe next year we will upgrade to a bigger trailer, but not this year.

Every year my husband gets a review from his job. Well yesterday (even though he’s on vacation) he went into town to have his review done. He did very well. Not bad considering a lot of the things he worked on this year (which included security cameras), he had never worked on before. Well with a good review, comes a great bonus. So sometime in March we can expect to have a little extra money in our bank account. Way to go honey!

Yesterday was the first day of my husband’s vacation. He surprised me by taking me out for dinner. Do you all know that this was the first time just him and I went out to eat in over a year? It was nice. Today he has headed into town which will give me some time to get some housework done while he is away. And tonight I have to go into work for a few hours. I didn’t bother taking any extra time off from my job this week as I only work eight hours anyway. So so far the vacation is working out just fine. Now if we just find another day this week to do something with just the two of us, it would be a perfect vacation.

Because we are expecting a massive snowstorm tonight and tomorrow, there are a lot of things I need to get done. So later on this morning I need to head out to the grocery store, go to the bank and head to the store to buy a birthday present. I need to get this all done as there is no way I will be driving anywhere tomorrow. If we get what were supposed to, I probably won’t even be able to get out of my driveway. But at least I know it’s coming so I can be prepared. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate winter?!

My computer was acting up so badly yesterday that I finally had to shut it down for the day. It was either this, or throw the thing out the window. And since computers cost a lot of money, I chose option A. Well, it’s not working much better today. It is a little faster, but when I tried earlier to do a post on best muscle building supplements, after I hit submit the entire screen went black. So… I rebooted it and thankfully never lost the post. I really don’t know how much more of this I can take. I may have to start using the kids little netbook until I can afford a new computer for myself.

I have to tell you all, that I’m just about at the end of my rope with the computer. Not only does it take so…. long to boot this computer up and get on the Internet, but now when I try to do posts on any of my blog, this stupid thing just sits there for quite a while with the message that it’s loading. A little while ago I was trying to do a post on acne medicine and the computer screen just went black. So I had to reboot the entire system and wait for ever to get back into my blogs. Something has got to change. I don’t have the patience for all this waiting!
