Well, Hello There...
So, it's been a while. Things have been humming along, no major catastrophes. Maybe that makes me quiet. I've also been pulling myself out of my spring funk and I think I'm on the upswing right now. It helps that the sun shines almost every day and the weather is glorious and WARM, something I have SO needed.
I've had a few things happening, distractions keeping me away from writing in the past month.
One would be that my computer has been acting wonky, fortunately it seems to be all better now. Keep fingers crossed, and thank goodness I thought to buy that extended warranty, money well spent.
Another would be the sewing projects that I have decided to undertake. A few years ago I decided to sew Ash a few dresses after only being able to find uber-fancy ball gowns or skanky-ho dresses for summertime fun (for my, then, 5 year old). And that has now found itself into a springtime tradition that I truly do enjoy. So it was due time to sew up a few pretty dresses for the girls. They are SO happy, and upon going to the fabric store to select their fabrics I found so many beautiful fabrics that I decided to make myself a few cute little skirts. I have one made and another one cut out, I'll probably finish it over the next few evenings. Sewing is so much fun, I always forget how much I enjoy it until I start a project again.
A lovely new little addiction is Facebook. Have you heard of this site? It's way too addicting. And I'm really not too sure of the purpose other than to say Hi! to all of your long-lost friends from elementary school. I have spent endless hours searching up people from my past, people that I really don't want to connect with anyhow, but it's neat to see their pictures and see what they are up to now. Of course people that I actually want to connect with aren't a part of the site, which is a bummer. For now I spend hours in bed thinking up last names to search. I am such a dumbass.
And lastly I have entered into a little business venture. My friend Anna has decided to start a business selling beauty products through network marketing. And me, being the ever-loving skeptic I am said "um no thanks". Part of that is because of my practical skeptic side, but the other part is purely financial, I can't afford to invest $$$ into a business right now. Junior is just coming back to work from school and we have to prepare for him heading into his final 3 months next January. So anyhow she and her husband talked and decided to help me out with it, so how can I say no? So now I'm preparing for my launch party after the long weekend and hopefully I will get my kits and I will be able to make some money at this. I'm hopeful that I can make a good go at this thing. The company says that they are different from everything else and that they are all about building a good team and not just making $$$, so we will see.
In other news, my dear daughter Ash has re-lapsed with her thumb sucking and we are considering re-inserting the jaws of death. She is so upset over the idea of having the dreaded crib placed again, because she hated having people ask her about it, that we are hoping she can break the new habit on her own. We have given her a week to show us that she can do it on her own, otherwise she's back to the dentist. I thought it was all good, she had been SO good at not sucking her thumb for about 6 weeks after we got the crib removed. I had noticed a change in attitude a few weeks ago, she's been clingy, stressed out and spaced-out on a pretty regular basis. It started around the same time we had to put our cat down, and then escalated with talk of failing grade 2 (all her talk, not a peep from us). The girl has some pretty big worries right now, so she fell back on her old soothing crutch. The one person I'm a little pissed at with the whole thing is her teacher. Ash has been sucking her thumb in class again, and her teacher knows that this has been a big ordeal for us, but she never told me. When I asked her about it when picking Ash up from school early last week she said that yes, she had been doing it and she had thought about writing me a note, but forgot. Urgh!!! Thanks for the help teach. Only 5 weeks of school left (or so) and I'm starting to look forward to the end.
I think that's it. I'll try to tear myself away from my other stuff a bit more often. I'm sure I will have lots to tell after our first camping weekend, long weekend in the foothills, in a tent. How much fun will that be!?
