Party Hard Sunday

The plan to get up this morning did not happen, in fact everyone in my house slept late. I cannot believe it. I guess we all needed it. We will do better, we will do better, we will do better. Let me rephrase that I will do better! Starting tomorrow that is.

Morgan's 3rd birthday party was today and it was a blast. The boys had the best time. Morgan seemed so excited with all of her presents. She is such a sweet girl, and truly precious. Her party was Strawberry Shortcake, and so cute. Kimy and Steven outdid themselves as always with activities for the kids. 2 water slides and a pool, not to mention the water guns! The decorations were adorable. I loved all of the pink and green. With 2 boys pink is something I do not get to see enough of. It was great to catch up with so many people.

I feel like I am making some progress with the house and all of the editing that I have to do. I have been focusing on the kitchen and of course laundry today. It is a never ending battle, but one that has some hope. The boys are pretty much grounded until their rooms are cleaned. Mainly because I busted my rear earlier this week with it and now they are both trashed. Needless to say I am not a happy momma.

Well, tomorrow I have to finish a presentation and a paper for class and work on some more pictures. I also have to get this house in order.

I cannot believe that July is now a thing of the past. Hello August. So many things happening this month personally and with business. So many blessings! Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Going to take some Aleve for my shoulder and going to bed. Good night all!

To The Lake We Go...

Well today we are off to the lake, so I am writing this in real time jsyk, but I cannot post it until we get home. I forgot the USB cables for my cameras. Sometimes I amaze myself!

Today the boys and I had a few errands to run. We got those done all before noon, that was our goal. If it started storming again like yesterday being out in it was not something that I cared to experience. We pulled in the garage and the thunder started. I was proud of the perfect timing.

I started to work on Catherine's wedding album and DVD labels. Check out my photography journey blog for more on her wedding. It was beautiful. I cannot wait to deliver the products. I will touch base with her Monday. At least that is the plan. Hopefully it will work.

I also got some schoolwork done. In an attempt to relax a little more this weekend. While I am not done, at least progress has been made, which alone is a great feeling.

As soon as Brandon got off we loaded the truck and headed to the lake. It was a long trip because we had several stops to make, but it was pleasant. It lightening almost the whole trip. In fact it still is so I am off for now. Hopefully to bed soon. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Bed Time....WHAT?!?!

So tonight has been wild, let me rephrase the boys have been wild all day and it has continued on into tonight. I am trying to get a lot done. School is happening, I have pictures to edit, a house to clean, getting ready to go to the lake, working out some things on personal and professional levels. All of these things become harder when the boys want to hinder instead of help. Tomorrow they are getting up and going outside until the sun goes down. Then maybe they will be in bed at a decent hour. Sorry to use my blog to vent, but I needed to do so for a few minutes.

I love my boys and would never trade them or change anything about them. Some days though I have to pray for patience and today is one of those days. Especially since John Michael is still awake and seriously standing on his head on the couch. To show that this is fact that is the picture that I chose for today.

I am seriously thinking that sticking him in our bed is the only way that any of us will get any sleep. Prayers for you all tonight!

So I wrote this last night and blogger acted crazy and I could not post! Hopefully tonight it will behave!
