Bloggy Break!

I'm taking a little bloggy break while I learn how to use my new Silhouette machine!

I'm having so much fun, but I promise to be back soon. Just wait till you see all the new projects I'm doing!

I've been...

a bad, bad blogger......because it's been so unseasonably nice here. I just had to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Got a few great shots of the kiddos and their friends.







Tomorrow is the start of more typical November weather, so we should be back to our regular scheduled program.

Somethings gotta give!

Does this sound familiar?

The funny part is that there are so many missing pieces of this day, I have to laugh, otherwise I would start to cry...and it's not a pretty sight...let me tell ya!

Ready.....

Get kids up, get them their juice, get a cup of coffee for me, get on Maggie to get going, make our bed, get on Maggie to make her bed, get the people some breakfast, make Maggie some lunch, make sure everything is ready for the little miss to go off to school.

Hop in the shower, remind Max to get dressed and to make his bed, for the third, maybe fourth time, get myself ready in record speed, do a few chores at home, like a load of laundry or vacuum, and as most of you know, I always do the morning dishes before I leave the house (or at least try my hardest!)

Check my email, log-in to Facebook, write a blog post (what's that you ask?! I know it's been hit the hardest). Then I'm off to the gym or to church or the store, just enough time to rush around before I have to be back to get Max some lunch before he's off to school for the day.

Drop Max off at 12:15, try to remember to have some "me" time...what's that?! Run to get this, stop to pick up that, I'm just going to run in....and before you know it, it's time for me to pick up the "big kids" in the carpool.

Pick up the "big kids" then drive to get Max, drop of the kids I can...bring the others home :) Get them a snack, help with homework, make a few phone calls, dinner? oh, right! Get dinner started, get the laundry that's still in the washer from this morning, back to dinner, eat a peaceful dinner with my family, clean up the dinner, then off to soccer, birthday party, church, wherever it may be that night.

Come home, get the kids in the tub, get clothes laid out for the next day, make sure everything is ready for school in the morning, get the people in bed, say prayers, and then take a deep breath.

Then the best time of the day. For me, it's a hot bath (or really really warm if you are my doctor) and "mom-only drink" and it's time to curl up with my book into my nice warm bed (got my heated mattress-pad out today).

Say a prayer and get ready to start it all over again tomorrow!

So that's why I'm so tired all the time...who knew!

Oh, and honestly, I'm not complaining one little bit, I wouldn't trade it for anything! Just need to vent every once in a while.

Honestly, I'm going to really try to get back to blogging, but for now, somethings gotta give!
