A Little Bit of Popcorn in My Life

So today we had a to do list to get checked off.
We started with taking the boys to school.  When we take Brandon's truck  it always seems to be a fiasco but this morning it was not too bad.
After we dropped them off we headed to the Scout offices.  We are doing show and sells for the popcorn this year in hopes of increasing what we sell.  We have pre-ordered $7500 worth of popcorn!  We are praying that we sell out as it would be so great for the boys and we would be able to do a lot more as a pack without asking the parents for a lot of extra money everytime that they turn around.  Being a parent I know that it is difficult.

After we picked up the popcorn we headed to the school to load it all in the Scout closet so that it would be available for the weekend Mass sales.

As Brandon and I were leaving the school the church secretary called and seriously blew me away.  She was asking what weekend we were selling popcorn.  When I told her Fr. Bob had approved every weekend she said that had changed and we could sell this weekend and that was it.  Now I am mad, upset, confused, and overwhelmed.  If anyone has any suggestions for places we can set up to sell popcorn please let me know. 

We had a mandantory fall ball meeting tonight.  So after school, and ASC, we headed to the ballpark.  We are so excited about FallBall, but also a little worried about the ability to juggle everything that is on the schedule for the next few months, and by that I mean until summer. 

Mom has gone to the beach for a wedding so it is just the four of us for the weekend.  The biggest change is the fact that it is dark at night, mom likes to have on a light.  LOL!  I just hope that she has a great time, she made it down there safely so now FUN is what she needs!

Scheduling and Resting

Well, John Michael was definitely not feeling great today, he even took a two hour nap, which translates to the fact that he is still awake and it is almost midnight. He says that his nose, throat and tummy hurt. Poor baby is breaking my heart.
His Aunt B made his day when she stopped by and brought him a surprise. Spongebob card games were definitely a hit as he and Danny had a blast playing with them. Thank you Aunt B for making your little rock star's recovery a little brighter!
Well, my photography schedule for 2011 is booked. I am seriously slammed to the point I do not know when or how I will be able to do my boy's pictures. I was stressed but I decided to say a prayer and ask for peace and guidance. His hands are bigger than mine and now I see it for the blessing that it is. I love the fact that business is booming.
I got some laundry done today, not quite as much as I wanted, but progress is what matters. We have been taking it easy all weekend...probably too easy. It had to be done for little man though, we are usually none stop and that was not possible this weekend. John Michael getting better was the priority.
It allowed us to work towards cleaning off the DVR which is a good thing considering that we are getting a new one on Friday. Brandon is pumped because it is high definition which will look amazing on the new television I am sure. He has been impatiently waiting for a month now for this appointment.
Well, I am hoping that John Michael goes to sleep soon so that I can. Know that you are all in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Really Tired...

So today I was definitely under the weather. I even took some extra vitamins but nothing seems to help. I am sure it is a combination of my allergies not liking the weather changing and my asthma never cares for storms that come through. I just fight through it.

I did not manage to get anything done that I wanted to except getting Danny's first grade scrapbook put together. While I have to still cut a few things with the Cricut and print a few pictures just like with John Michael's 3K it is primarily done. The next ones I will be working on are 2010 and 2009, then it will be time to start on 2nd grade and 4K as well as starting to work backwards with the years. I hate the feeling of being behind but I will get there. I am more or less stalling on the earlier books because I know that they will be the hardest.

The boys scrapbooked a little too and I took a picture of their pages for you to enjoy. I thought that they were too cute!

Brandon was able to get the play that he has been working on done, I still have the pictures to edit, but those will be the focus for this week. I am supposed to help with a wedding on Friday so I plan to get those done before that.

I also have a lot around the house to do, but that I will do one day at a time starting tomorrow. I have a goal date and that is the end of April, but baseball is about to get going in high gear and classes are getting more challenging.

I am considering a break, we shall see though. I know that I could use it. It would enable me more time to be able to concentrate on the business and without the added pressure of deadlines in class. Not to mention the baseball, cub scouts, and school for the boys schedules that are currently being juggled. I am not 100% yet on what I will do or when but a break is one option I am considering seriously at least for the time being. Any advice would be great.

Well, I am off to bed. The boys just went to sleep. It is definitely a late night. Tomorrow we have baseball from 6-8 so it will not be easy getting in bed by 9, but I plan to try. Before I go to bed tonight I will be saying a prayer for all of my family and friends. I hope that you all had a memorable weekend and were safe through the storms.
