Time Marches On

Whew! Time really flies whether you are having fun or not! LOL. Things have been busy here, and I think about posting, but that time thing just gets me. First! I got pictures of my closet. It is wonderful, and we are enjoying it so much! It is like our own little dressing room, and almost nothing is on the floor. It cleaned out our dresser of clothes, and we have room to spare!

To update: The baby birds have left the nest. What a fun experience to watch them grow. We didn't lose one, which was good. I was a little concerned about what would happen to the girls if we found one had fallen out of the nest. As a matter of fact, they even chased one around the front yard Saturday. It wasn't flying well, but it was working on it, and it mostly hopped and ran everywhere.

Yesterday I was an absentee mom, I believe. I had an Uppercase Living show closing and spent a good chunk of time on the phone. I am pondering how to set my schedule. It takes some time for me to commit to "life/lifestyle" changes because I don't want to start something and restart. I have issues on following through, so I balk at starting something new so I won't fail or change it 10 times before I get it right. Is that a pride issue? Something else to ponder.

I cannot believe today is July 1! Happy Birthday Laura! This month is crazy schedule wise for me. That may be another reason I am shy about "setting" a new schedule. I do get to go on a scrapbook retreat in the middle of the month!!! I am so excited, and I've been playing in my scrap stuff trying to organize and list what I have and want to get done. I took Graycen to the last one I attended, but this time I get to go by myself. It will be nice. I wonder, do all moms have the huge guilt trip I do for leaving my babies? I know some do. We talk about it, but some just don't seem to at all. I guess it is good for me. My guilt comes from them missing me though. Boy, does that sound conceited when I write it! LOL. I just want them to have a good time and be good for their daddy! Some of it comes from him being so "beat down" sounding when I talk to him while I'm gone. I guess I could take it as a compliment, but truly, it makes me feel guilty and a little resentful that he can't just enjoy some time with the kiddos. I know it is hard for him, though, because he is not used to having them on his own. I need to start praying now that it will be an enjoyed weekend by all.

Later in the month, I have a zillion Uppercase Living shows. I let them book any day because of the July promotion going on with the triple points. Surely they won't all hold, but it is going

to take some patience and finesse to get through the end of the month with my sanity! OH! And on July 19th my DSIL (Dear Sister in Law) and I are going to Intimacy! Woohoo! It is her birthday trip and DH gave me a nice gift certificate for Christmas that I still havent' used. It will be a good month, but I'm going to have to mind my manners.

That's enough ramblings for now. Hopefully, I will be more consistent and talk to you soon!
