Well I have not been getting to much done or keeping up with much of anything lately I must say. I feel bad about it but all I can do is try to get off my butt and get back in gear to make sure that I stay on top of things.
My kids, my four oldest kids started back to school on the ninth of this month. It has been nice but has helped me slack on my things. Since usually I take a week off from most things to just relax and enjoy a little less going on. Just this year I am having a hard time getting back into my routine after the one week. So my goal this weekend is to kick myself back into gear and get things done. To bad I wont be able to post anything about how I am doing with that till the following week though. Right now my family only has one laptop and my husband will have it with him on a business trip for the week. But that is one less thing to distract me from getting things done that I need to. Or from putting off anything else because I am stuck at the computer and not really doing anything anyway. Seeing as how I have been on the computer a lot more then usual since my kids have started back to school yet still didn't post anything until now.
As for crafts...I did manage to help my oldest daughter make a plastic canvas box with a bouquet of lace flowers for the Ward Young Women's President at church. I forgot to get pictures of it before she took it to her at the Wednesday activity though. The box was a teal color with a white heart on one side and a white YW on the opposite side. My daughter decided to have the edges done in white so that it made a nice boarder on each side when all put together. My daughter made three flowers of just pink lace and three of just a burgundy lace. Then I made three flowers with both color, two with the pink in the middle and one with it on the outside. It made a nice little gift. My daughter says that the Young Women's President liked it and I am sure she did. I am proud of my daughter for making it will how nice it looked. Plus it was the first time either of us had tried to make lace flowers. Now my daughter is trying to figure out what to make for the other three leaders that she has for Young Women's.
Well tomorrow is my youngest birthday, he will be three years old. The only sad thing is that his dad has to leave early in the morning for a business trip but so is the live of a working/military man. Today he is trying to get better from feeling sick. Yesterday he wasn't feeling good and was clingy all day. Then last night he had a fever. Since he woke up he has not had a fever or really been clingy. I hope he is feeling better by the time everyone gets home and we have his little family birthday party. We planned it for tonight since his dad has to leave tomorrow. Then we will try to spoil him all day tomorrow too.
That is about it for August so far. I really hope I can get myself going again to get all the things done that I need to and would like to get done.
