Week 17 - Crafting takes many forms

April 21 - 

 I started a digital book from the library today. It’s going pretty quickly as the premise for the book is interesting and I look forward to seeing how it ends. I think I have an idea, but I’m not omniscient so I could be wrong. 

 No crafting today.


April 22 - 

 Last day of spring break. So the little one and I decided to repot some plants and throw some seeds in potting soil and see what pops up. With the incoming rain this week, perhaps things will grow. *fingers crossed*

 No crafting, but ya know, I count planting seeds as doing something beneficial to my goal of creating more beautiful things in this world.


April 23 - 

 I worked a lot on the repurposed Christmas cards this evening. The little one doesn’t feel the greatest so he went to bed super early and fell asleep. 

 I finished the digital book from the library. It ended very similarly to how I imagined. However, I still enjoyed the premise of the book. I like it when quick read romance books throw a different premise my way. I also finished one of the Gateway titles tonight. It was okay, but I can only take so much YA before I begin the intense eye rolling. LOL!


April 24 - 

 The little one was pretty upset that he didn’t get to help with the Christmas cards, so we’ll have to work together on them in the future. He really wants to help. I love that he is such a helpful boy. He wasn’t feeling too good today either so no joint work on the cards. Hopefully he’ll feel better and we can work on it this weekend.


April 25 - 

 The Perfect Date!!!! I got the oldest with the quote from Miss Congeniality this morning. He was in his room and I asked him what the date was. He responded with “April 25th” and out of my mouth rolled the quote about it being the perfect date. He replied with “Oh my god, mom,” but he smiled and chuckled a little. I love doing silly things like that to him.

 No reading or crafting today as I took the day off and worked on the senior video for the senior banquet along with taking time to watch my oldest perform with his ensemble at the MSHSAA State Music festival. I can’t wait to find out what rating they received. They did a good job and I’m so glad I was there to see it. 


April 26 - 

 They got a silver rating!!!!

 Today was not a crafty kinda day. At work I did a lot for the senior video, then went to dinner with a friend and attended a play that was put on by the drama class from work. When I got home, I started working on the video again. I really need to get it finished (or almost finished) before Wednesday of next week. I have a lot to do next week and need to focus on getting this video finished so I can switch my focus. I don’t bring work home usually, but because the senior class pays me for this, I don’t mind spending quality time on it at home, especially since it’s only a few days.


April 27 - 

 Today is shaping up to be a sort of busy day so we shall see if I make time for crafting tonight. There’s a decent chance that I will make some time, especially since I promised the little one he can help me glue the designs on the cards.

Week 6

Image
  February 4 -   I didn’t go to sleep until around 4 am. I really shouldn’t have had a soda so late in the day on Saturday, especially since I’ve been cutting back so much. Lesson learned!   I was looking forward to spending some quality time with the book I’m reading, but life got in the way and I was needed in other places. Oh well. I did get to read a little and I think that the reason life keeps pulling me away from the book is because once I really get into it, I won’t want to put it down.  No decluttering done today, unless you count getting the three pies out of the house and to the pie auction! LOL! February 5 -   Back to work. I’m still a little tired from the weekend, so no decluttering today. I really need to find some focus to get this task completed.  I think I’ll go to bed and read some tonight and see if I can fall asleep earlier than usual. February 6 -   Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He is now considered a man,...

Week 20 - The last week

Image
May 12 -  The boys and my sister treated me to a wonderful day today. I am so thankful for all 3 of them! Due to the nature of the “holiday” I didn’t do any work around the house. However, I’ve noticed some things I can do outside tomorrow, weather permitting. May 13 -  As my lawn guy hasn’t been by to mow, I took it upon myself to charge up the battery for my weed eater and start hacking away at the front yard. With all the rain the past few weeks, I understand that those working in lawn care are behind schedule, however, the city I live in has these stupid, arbitrary rules about the length of grass and how citizens in this fine town will be penalized when their lawn doesn’t fit within those certain parameters. I despise those kinds of rules, so I will be plotting ways to make my yard either invisible to those in “power” OR to plant a BUNCH of flowers (hopefully mostly native) so they can grow freely and the rules won’t apply.  I’ve seen more than one house in this town ...

Week 19 - Oh look, even more lasts

Image
May 5th -  Well, the rain had plans for us this week. Key Club was supposed to do sidewalk chalk for Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the rain (at least it wasn’t during prom) the students made posters instead. While students made posters, I took down photo booth decorations and listened to them talk about prom. It seems like everyone had a good time. After hours of that I returned home to veg out. So, no home improvement projects today. May 6th -  The first full day of Teacher Appreciation Week. There’s a lot to organize this week, so I don’t foresee much happening at home. Between planning for the week and doing a final check (or two) on the senior video, I’m pretty tired just thinking about it; and it's only Monday.  May 7th -  Today members of Key Club had a catered meal provided for the teachers. The students cleared plates, filled glasses with drinks, and did the bulk of setup and clean up. Talk about a gift! The meal was a huge success and the students we...
