Long time no "see"

I told someone earlier I had been "so busy and so lazy!"  I laughed to myself after I typed that...such an oxymoron but oh-so-true. What I meant was...each week is basically a whirlwind from dawn till dusk...I'm sure all of you can relate.  And when it comes to the weekend or time I have away from school, cooking, cleaning, laundry and chauferring kids.  I just want to be lazy!  I can't seem to get motivated to work on any extracurricular projects...even though I have so many things I want to do!!!

Today.

5:30 got up

-drop kids at school

-drop Cash at sitter

-go to school (five hours of class on MW and six hours on T/TR--Friday is a lighter day)

-go pick up some groceries on my hour break from class

-drink a yogurt smoothie (or two ;) that I bought at the store for lunch

-had leave class early to pick up girls early (school lets out for parent-teacher conferences)

-home by 2:00 {an early day, so refreshing!!!!}

-made new, BIG batches of homemade laundry soap and dishwashing detergent.

-made chicken and dressing casserole for dinner

-worked on a little logo side job while cooking

-ate dinner and took off for Abby's parent teacher conference

-took Abby to church : ( skipped out on church because I had assignments I had to work on --school and scrapbooking)

-came home to work...BHG assignment and homework

-so tired.  But I felt very productive today.

C'est La Vie...right, friends :)

So are you wondering about the butterflies up top?  Well, I don't think I've shared yet.  But that was my very first project from my Digital Imaging class at school!  I loved that project.  It is a LP album cover!  I see that morphing into other things in the future...we'll see ;)  Did I mention I had all A's at midterm!  YAY!!!

So I said all that to say this...

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!  I miss being able to create!!! {insert big pouty face} LOL!  Nah...I'm really not throwing a kicking screaming fit, I promise.  But I've definitely had to put a lot of things on the back burner for now. 

But I did get excited...earlier.  I got an email from a local friend and it looks like I might be teaching a class in December! Yes, I will!  (just confirmed) About an hour from here...and that gets my creative juices flowing!  Hmmm....

So I guess it's just one day at a time for me. 

One

So when are we going to be let in on your class? I've always wanted to come and meet you for real....so a scrapping class would be awesome! Fingers crossed I'll be able to make it! : )

Yah on the A's!!!

Hi sweet girl!  Yes, the class is going to be in December (the 16th, I think) in Russellville...its about 45 minutes from me.  So a little drive for you, but the gal really puts on a great crop!  I cant wait!  Maybe it will work out where you can come!  Ill post all the details soon!

Janna, I know how you feel. I started college when I was 29. With a full load of classes, an hour commute each way & a family, I was too tired to do anything else. Once my daughter told if you give me chili or Stouffers again, I'll throw up. Hang in there, the school work does get easier!

Congrats on the great grades!!!

Is it okay to use that homemade soap in a front load machine? I buy the "HE" kind of detergent. Any idea how much to use?

Thanks for the info and hope to see you soon, even if it's only at the Pizza Parlour :)

[jannawilson]

Becky I use the soap in my front loader...I think the HE soaps are less sudsy...the homemade stuff is not sudsy either...so I would think it would be fine.  Having good luck so far with it.  Come visit me sometime...we need to catch up!

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Ginny!!! Hey-- at least you were fixing them SOMETHING to eat, right? LOL!! Take care!
