Good Bye August

So I cannot believe that it is the last day of August.  Seriously 2012 has been full of ups and downs and all arounds, but it has flown by.
I am definitely excited that this weekend is a long one.  I need a day with the family and I am hoping we can sort of have a lazy long weekend.  We have things to do this weekend, but they should all be fun. 
The boys had a great day at school today.  Danny had an Alabama History project due and he picked Springville to do it on, which I thought was pretty awesome.  He talked about our house, the drive we have, the city itself and most importantly his pop's butcher shop and the king!  For those of you who do not know who the king is please go by The Choppin' block and Springville and find out. 

Work was great, the kids were definitely ready for the weekend.  It has been a long few weeks for them I think and the general anticipation of the weekend.

Tonight there was a blue moon, basically the second full moon of the month.  Mom says I am living up to the reputation of the full moon.  I was trying to learn how to howl.  Why not add another skill to the resume.  Plus I am pretty bumbed.  I found out I am waiting three more weeks for a paycheck.  Things are just tight and seem to be getting tighter.  I keep telling myself that this too shall pass, but I also know that I really need to find either another part time job, get more sessions booked, or find a full time job.  I am hoping that I can get some more sessions booked with fall coming up and I have several different specials coming out too.  Prayers that they all drive in some more business.

Well, I am off too bed.  I am super glad that the blog is now caught up, I still have to catch up the other one, but I will get there.  One thing at a time.  I am determined not to stress anymore, and just do what I can as I can.  It all always seems to get done anyway. 

So excited about tomorrow!!!

Making it Happen

This morning after I dropped the boys off I hung out at the school.  I was meeting with Michael Wells from the Boy Scouts so that he could Rally the boys and get them interested in scouting.  Our scout night is tomorrow night so the more we can get to be interested the better for our pack, we grow every year and we are looking forward to everything that this year has to offer.  Mr. Wells was great the boys seem really excited and so am I. 
I was able to get a good bit done at home, but today was concentrated more on homework and editing pictures.  I have to alternate days so that I can alternate how long I am on the computer each night, it is definitely not easy, but I will be done next year and it will be so worth it.  I hope. 
The boys' had a great day at school which always makes my day.  John Michael said that all his first grade friends were excited about scouting.  Danny said that he made a 97 on his Alabama History test, which is awesome since he was freaking out last night while we were studying.  He is a lot like me in the sense that he is his own worst critic. I wish he was not so hard on himself.

John Michael and Samantha had fun decorating the driveway with chalk.  It looks great!  She is definitely a better artist than I am.
