Change of Plans

So the rain all night last night and this morning meant cancelations for photoshoots this morning.  It is never good when it happens, but I just cannot control the weather, trust me if I could I would.  I definitely have a preference for photo shoots and for days off.  I did take advantage of the day and spent a good bit of time editing.  I still have so much to do, but I am running on a close schedule. 
We took complete advantage of the cool rainy day.  After the rain was done, Brandon finished up the last flower bed.  It looks really good and as soon as we get some money to add flowers and bushes to it will look really amazing.  We are also going to get my hydrangea bush from the old house, which really makes me happy.  I love that bush so much and was super sad that it was going to stay.  Now if only I could convince him that the tulip bush should be moved.  Hmmm....I will work on that. 

The boys washed mom's van and Brandon's truck.  My van really needs it, but since it took two hours for those two mine will have to wait for next weekend.

I had a good bit of homework too so that took up a good bit of the day.  I would love not to have to stress and in about a year I will not know what to do with all of the extra time I have.  Maybe my doctorate?  Hmmm....again something to ponder.

Rainy Day Beginnings

So I love rainy days, but today I had so much going on that adding the rain to this morning was not great as it was much harder to get going.  Oh well, we needed it I guess so I will not complain.  I think more rain is headed in tonight. 
I was able to get a good bit in the kitchen done, but there is still so much to get done.  Some days I think I will have it all done and then others I feel like it will do me in.  I was also able to get a good bit of pictures done for eBay.  I have so much stuff to get listed and only a month to do it in.  I know that I can, I just have to stay motivated.  Just praying that a lot of it sells and that it sells for decent prices.  I also have several things that we have to list on Craigslist.  Like the smoker, and the aquarium, and other things that just are not going to make the move.  The more that we can get rid of though the more we can get done for the new house so that we will be 100% ready!
For dinner I made general tso chicken, but it was not a huge hit.  I also made some plain and I was glad that I did. I will try again.  At least Brandon has lunch tomorrow that is not Raman noodles or canned soup.

Home and School

So this morning we were running late. I do not like starting off the day running behind. I am not sure if it was the rain that had me all cozy this morning or the fact that John Michael came in our room last night and is such a cuddle bug. We were all late though, which is just not something I need on my agenda right now. I know that there must have been a reason for it though, so I am not going to stress myself out about it.
While the boys were in school I took care of their bedrooms. I was so tired of asking and threatening, and so today I threw a lot of junk out. We have to get up the Christmas stuff and that is just not possible the way that their rooms looks. I also got some more laundry done, but I also got more piled up as I found more clothes scattered around their rooms and I did not know if they were clean or dirty so I am taking the safer bet. I also got a good bit of editing done. Right now I am a little ahead of the 2 weeks I shoot for with a regular session, but I have to get them all delivered which is a little easier said than done. I am hoping to mail a good bit of them because I have so many to get out and with the sessions that I have I am not sure where I can squeeze in delivery times too. It will all work out.
The boys' had great days at school today. They both had homework that we had to get done pretty fast so that we could get back to school for the Home & School meeting tonight.
The Home & School meeting was very nice. It was a brief introduction and then break away sessions. Brandon went to the K-2 session and I stayed for the 3-5 session. I enjoy being a part of the school and like knowing what is happening with the boys. Another plus to St. Francis is how close the parents, faculty, and students really are.
We came home and I had school work, and editing to work on and Brandon worked on burning and labeling discs for me. He is awesome!
Well, the boys are in bed and since it is not 10 minutes until midnight I guess I will go to bed. One day soon I will be in bed early! I will, I will, I will!
