I know -- I haven't posted in a LONG time, but a lot has happened this summer. I have quit one job, and I am starting another job tomorrow. I am trying to quit my other job so that I am only working 1 job. We went on our family vacation and I have been trying to get my house in order.
No need to bore anyone with the details of my job hopping that is going on, other than to say I am really looking forward to starting my new job tomorrow. I am hoping it is something that I am going to want to do long term and that will allow me more time with the family.
On to vacation. We had a great vacation this year. We did our usual trip to Family Week at Jumonville Camp and Conference Center. It helped show me that my kids, though far from perfect, aren't out of the range of being normal kids. I was starting to doubt my parenting skills and to wonder if the kids are both borderline something being that they are both strong-willed and have a hard time listening, etc. But they are just kids and I have to remind myself that on a regular basis. And, I need to learn to RELAX! Something that I have a very hard time doing.
Getting the house in order -- that is a constant battle/struggle that I deal with. I was able to finally get a crafting area in our basement together. My husband was kind enough to get me more storage and I have my sewing machine, all my fabric and all of my scrapbooking "stuff" together in one area. I have room to work and peace and quiet to work in. I am so excited to start new projects! My knitting hasn't made its way down yet, but it will move in with the other crafts soon!
My upcoming projects are all centered around my darling daughter who will be turning 2 in September. I have the grand idea of having a "sweet shoppe" themed birthday party. I am going to make various sweet treats to eat, and I have big plans for her outfit and the invitations (which should have gone out yesterday). I am hoping to finish those tonight and post pictures. Pictures of the other projects will come when I get them done -- hopefully not the night before the party!!!!
