Hurray for Friday!

I've turned into a bad blogger!!

It's not that there hasn't been plenty going on in our ever crazy household - I've just not had the time to blog.

Ok - that's not even true...

I've just not had the motivation.

There! I said it!

I've not been motivated to write about all the weird, unexplainable, hilarious things that happen in our daily lives. It gets a little overwhelming sometimes to try and keep track of it all, and so I confess I haven't.

On top of everything that we do in our family, I've been dealing with a business situation that rapidly got out of control. I was so excited at someone new signing up in my business, and then when things started to turn - I wasn't exactly sure how to handle it. The big wigs in the company got involved. They had to! To make a long story short - lines were crossed and decisions were made and I no longer have a new jeweller. I'm disappointed about it but I think it was for the best.

Remember people!

Be nice and don't blame others when you don't understand something!

Wait... this is good advice for my family too...

I may just make that one out of vinyl and stick it on our front door! Ha!

And it might work as well as the other vinyl signs I've made -

NOT!

We had a birthday this week too. Did you hear that I now have a TWENTY YEAR OLD SON?? I can't believe it either! How did this happen? When did he get to be a foot taller than me?? I love you Bryce and want you to know that I'm very proud of the person you have become!

On Tuesday we had the chance to summarize what we learned in Atlanta for our Foster Agency. Because he suffers from severe stage fright - you can bet that DH was super grateful that the people ahead of us took up so much time with their amazing presentation! I was so enthralled with the 72 hour kits, that I didn't want them to end either. Turns out our scheduled 40 minute presentation was more like 7 minutes - and he didn't have to do anything but nod his head in agreement. Whoo hoo!!

Anyway, with everything that we've had going on all week - I decided today would be a good day for me to do something for me! I'm heading on down to a craft show at the Roundup Centre to look at things no one else in my family enjoys... and I will be happy!

Except that I have to take the boys...

...which means there will be whining...

...and complaining...

Sigh...

Maybe I can distract them by having them try and help me find new things to put on their birthday invitations next month! There's the plan!

And after I clean the house, get the bags of clothes to the clothing exchange, attend all my meetings on Saturday, look after whatever arguments break out amongst the children, and go to church... I can relax in my craft room...

HAHAHAAA!!! Sometimes I crack me up...

Three Things I'm Grateful For -

1. That I get to stay home to look after my family. I'm not sure how I'd be able to handle all we have to do and go to work too!
2. For a church calling that helps me see a bigger picture. I've learned so much working with the wonderful Sisters that I do. I love all of you!
3. For my family... despite all my complaining, they are amazing and I love them to pieces!
