Rambling On

This is probably going to be a short little post today. I am really sick! It was bound to happen. Last week both my younger kids were sick and now I have it. So I don’t plan on doing a whole lot today. I have to write one article on employment screening for a guy and then I am going to get off this computer and go lay down for the day. My youngest son doesn’t get home from school until 3:00 pm so I’m hoping this little rest will help me feel a bit better before he gets home. At least I don’t have to work tonight. Feeling the way I do, I honestly don’t think I would make it.

Last evening I asked my husband to drive me into town into the big fabric sale that was going on in one of our fabric stores. Well…. I found some amazing deals and ended up spending quite a bit more money than I had originally planned. I was able to buy enough material to make at least four handcrafted bags and with the money I saved I also picked up some graduation invitations as well. Although I don’t need these invitations this year, I will need them next year so I’ll just put them away until I need them.

Well now with all this fabric I have, I’ll be able to start making my bags. Hopefully I can sell them at a reasonable price and start to earn a little income from my home crafting business very soon.

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.
