Cards, Cards, Cards July 28, 2008

I know there were a million other things I SHOULD have been doing. But it was hot and I just wasn’t up to yard or housework.  Well, that isn’t totally true.  I did some laundry and straightened up a bit, but then I sat down at my kitchen table and pulled some of the craft STUFF. I am loving the House Mouse stamps, and the Fleur De Lis stamp. I got a bit carried away. But it was so fun!  I ended up making little packets of 4 cards each. I could have made more but I ran out of two sided stickies and didn’t feel like going back to store.

I sure wish I could make a living at this craft stuff!!! Oh well, back to reality tomorrow and my “Big Girl” job that almost pays all the bills

Bloggers, Football and Life in General July 17, 2008

I am new to blogging. I am not very good at it.  But, I do aspire to be better at it someday. I am amazed at all the stuff bloggers have on their sites! The ideas, the recipes, the contests!!!! How do you do all this stuff??  For now, I just view and enjoy.  But someday, I hope to figure out how to set up an Etsy store, how to get a random number for a drawing!!!! Wow! this stuff just amazes me. So I guess I am truly technologically challenged. Cheers to Jenny and Emily and all the wonderful bloggers you can link to through their blogs!!!! Thanks Moments!!!!

Now on to football. As I previously said, I was concerned because my son is so small(thin really).  But I got out there and there are other small 10 yr old boys! Go figure! I am such a dork!!! Of course there are other small boys like my son, they are everywhere! DUH!!!! I was also pleased to see that there weren’t any really HUGE boys that could just pummel my son.   I know this is just his team, haven’t seen the boys on the opposing teams yet.  That will be another story!

Life in general is really busy for us now.  I had a family meeting last night after football practice with my 2 kids.  I explained that between volleyball for sis, football for brother and massage therapy classes for mom life is going to be really busy for a few months. Reminded them that everyone needs to chip in at home to keep it neat and tidy and that there will be overlapping games, and so on. I got the “whatever” look. Oh well, can’t say they weren’t warned.

Just some ramblings, no pictures July 9, 2008

I don’t want to complain too much, but I bought a new computer from Best Buy a couple months ago and I am still having problems keeping an internet connection.

So I use other peoples computers when I can to check my email.  And now to write a post.

Things have been hectic for me and I don’t see any relief in site.  But one good thing amidst the nuttiness is the massage therapy class I have been taking. I love it! I think I really have a knack for it and look forward to a new career in addition to my big girl job.

And when I am at class, I am relaxed.  I have to put everything else aside for a few hours, relax, listen, learn and practice.  And normally it isn’t very easy for me to relax, so this class is really a blessing. I am even able to put away the guilt I feel for leaving my kids for 2 nights a week. 

 And on to football. My baby boy (10 yrs old) starts his first season next week.  Not only do I worry about injuries, but the 2 hour practices every night in 100 degree weather!!! YIKES!!! I know it sounds terrible, but I hope he won’t like it. (and I hope he never reads my blog!)
