My life is one big jumble of kids, pets, crafts, friends, food, home and business.

join nicole and I while we...

blog everyday in May!

Yes, every single day - all 31 of them.

You don't have to write sonnets or epics worthy of Shakespeare, just write something. Everyday. lol

A real blog entry, I swear!

No kid pics or sock creatures... just words.

Holy crap, It's almost MAY! Ugh, time seems to be slipping by me at an ever increasing speed, is there some kind of time warp that correlates with age? Time seemed to move by so slowly when I was younger and now it just whips past leaving me in the dust. Sigh

I've been busier lately with sock stuff and my home has suffered from the neglect. So I think today is going to be a domestic day. Cleaning, cooking, doing some prep stuff to get through the week with as little trauma as possible.

All of my recent orders have been shipped and the one that have arrived have been well received which makes me amazingly happy. I have a few new orders to start on this week and that gave me the excuse I needed to go sock shopping @ Target... YAY!

Yesterday we took the kids bowling and then we went to see Horton Hears a Who, it was such fun. We will buy it when it comes out. Cam got to try out his new ball and it rocked, I think he will improve as he gets more used to it. It's a 12lb, the score for his first game was 112 I think and he bowled a 99 his second game. Teagan bowled an 86 on her first game of the day!!! No bumpers even so it's a true 86. We were very impressed.

Ok... it's almost 5am, my hubby's stupid alarm clock made sure I was up and awake at 3, grrr. So I might as well go get started on that kitchen before the kids get up and harass me.

Teagan's hair donation - pic heavy

I know every parent thinks their kid is awesome but seriously my daughter is AWESOME!! lol

Here is Teagan before...

Im quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today

Ok so it's not really a "blue" monday but bleh anyway.

I have to go take Teagan to get that tooth pulled and my son seems to have developed some type of plague... FUN!

Sigh, but such is life right?

My kitchen is a wreck because I was out all weekend. Sat I went to a homeschooling workshop and had a good time. My friend Megan printed up the brochures for my Sole Mates and now they are hanging out with my toys here http://www.schoolcottage.com/

And Sunday we did birthday stuff and had a good time until Cam started feeling under the weather. :(

Ok so today's agenda...

dentist
walgreens for ethedent refill for Tea and cold meds for Cam
kitchen - eek
lunch - cake = yum!
cutting Teas hair for donation - pics will follow of course!

And when did I schedule being able to breathe?

Just a quick whine ( don't have time for a longer one lol) about my schedule for the next week...

Today is Monday and the kids had to go to the dentist - yay no cavities

Tuesday = Homeschool meeting, teen committee and my husband's birthday *love*

Wednesday = Bowling league, Hubby is going to get off work early and surprise us @ the bowling alley because it's Cameron's birthday. Then we are going to go get Cam his gift - a custom bowling ball and go out to dinner.

Thursday = A quietish day, only chess club

Friday = Take cam to his Heroscape game @ the Home School Cottage

Sat = drive back to the cottage for a HS Workshop

Sun = Go bowling with my friends family, our boys share a b-day and then back to her house for a cook out and cake!

Monday = back to the dentist to have one of Teagan's teeth pulled. It's causing her midline to shift to the left... whatever that means. I guess it's bad. lol

Then repeat with committees and bowling and chess and heroscape... every week. BLEH

And in the middle of that somewhere I'm going to find time to make more toys. lol Some are going to the cottage this week, I'm very excited. :D

Cute kid detour...beware, bragging ahead

HOLY CARP! My kid is gorgeous. No, I know everyone says that but I'm right... she really is. Don't believe me? Fine. Judge for yourself.

Watch your head in the doorway... we are going on an ego trip

A while ago I got a custom order for a poodle. Yes you heard me a POODLE! This was one of the biggest pita things I've ever tried to do. But... honestly I think it might be one of the most amazing things I've ever done. It's pretty freaking awesome. And if you are a faithful reader you know I don't blow my horn all that often and not this loudly. lol

Well I know you want to see her... let the squeeeeeeing commence.

And finished an order of puppies for my friend Blue's twin daughters. I think they came out very cute.

Teagan got invited to a Build-A-Bear "party" @ the mall by a homeschool friend and she "ordered" a bunny for her friend's gift. Which at least saves me $ so thats a bonus. lol I'm kinda worried that is look self promoting or vain to gift my merchandise but thats silly because why the fuck wouldn't you gift what you make if it is appropriate for the person/occasion? There, issue solved. ;-)
