Bye Santa

So anyone who has driven by my house knows that as of this morning we were still ready for Christmas. Well, Brandon got all of the big stuff out of the yard. He still has the wreaths, and lights to go, but Santa and the reindeer are put up. I told him that made me pretty sad I liked Santa waving bye to me everyday and hello to me everyday. Now it is just boring.


Seriously, I am glad that we are making progress. We still have so much to do. It is always a task to get it all up especially because of basketball we seriously just do not stop. These rainy days are not helping us to have a few minutes to get it done either. It will all happen though. No rush.


So the weather today is weird. It has rained off and on all day, and tonight the wind is insane. I think all of the warnings and watches are to the north of us, but we will definitely be weather aware. I am thinking all weekend we will need to be.


I spent a lot of today editing. I have a lot to get done and I want to increase my production time a good bit this year. We will see if it happens. I think that it would help the business a lot. I am pretty timely now, but I want to get even quicker. And I want to get caught up and even ahead would be awesome. I will get done on the session I am working on now, this weekend.


Next week I have to be able to devote time to getting taxes ready. As soon as Brandon gets his W2 I want to be able to file. The sooner we get that done the sooner that we can get some of these medical bills paid. Not to mention the boys desperately need uniform shirts and tennis shoes and we are going to need to pay for baseball, the lake, and school. Sorry needed to vent for a few minutes. Over it now.


Well, games are early tomorrow. At least one of them. Good night and sweet dreams. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Craft Day and Pancakes

Today was Craft Day for John Michael's class. I love craft day because I get to spend a little time seeing my little man at school. It is so great to be a little part of his day. They made tiles for Valentine's Day with hand print hearts and a scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:13. They are too cute, a little large, but it is all good, I am going to figure out something creative to do with the tiles that I have collected so if anyone has ideas that would be great. I will be googling this when I am not so tired.

Brandon and the boys cooked dinner tonight. We had breakfast for dinner and pancakes are Brandon's specialty. It was delicious.

I started working on our taxes, with a business it is always stressful. I will be glad when I am making more and have to do them every quarter, it will force me to be a little more organized.

I am determined to get to a point that I am scrapbooking once a month, minimum! Preferably once a week, but that is probably not realistic.

I did find out a lot about Zumba at Pump it Up and I have to admit I am very interested. This whole week is crazy but I am getting a plan to get there. I am excited. I love having the DVDs and doing it at home, but I do miss doing it with a group!

Well, I am off to bed, I hope that you all have a great night! My prayers are going up for you all. I also would like to take a few minutes to ask that everyone say a prayer for those children who are out there and need homes. I was adopted and thank God everyday for amazing parents, there are so many children though that get shuffled through the system and I pray for them all.
