Rambling On

Extra work to do

Well if your a mother, then your really going to know what I’m talking about. Day in and day out, we do the same old thing. Housework, housework, housework. Then when spring arrives, we have extra work to do. Spring cleaning, spring cleaning, spring cleaning. Well yesterday I decided to get a start on all this extra cleaning. I started cleaning out the bathroom. I was quite amazed at all the junk that I found and needed to throw away. I even found some prenatalvitamins if you can believe that! Well today I plan on finishing the bathroom and tomorrow plan to start on our bedroom. Man… I can’t wait to all this extra cleaning is done.

I am so proud of myself!

As you can tell by my frequent posts these days, I am once again getting into blogging. Over the winter I kind of found myself in a funk and really wasn’t interested in blogging very much. So I really didn’t do a lot. But lately I have felt the urge to blog and now that the bug hit me, I have once again been taking care of all my blogs. I don’t know if this is because the winter season is almost behind us and I’m out of my winter funk or not. Whatever the reason, you really should know that I plan on blogging a lot more than I did and I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to say over the coming months.

Time changes this weekend!

I’m sick!

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.

I hit it big time!

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.

Fabric shopping

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.

Back to school!

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!

Not much accomplished this week

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.

RV show

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.
