When the kids got out of school at the end of June for their summer vacation, I honestly thought that the summer would creep by slowly. Well I can’t believe how fast it has gone by. It’s almost the end of July already and August is just around the corner. If I thought July went by quickly, then I’m thinking August is just going to soar by as well.
The first of August my sister in law and brother in law are coming home from out West for two weeks. Both of the younger kids have birthdays the around the first and my husband is taking a weeks vacation around the first week of August as well. So I guess I’ll have to put on my running shoes and get ready for a very busy and fast August.
How about you guys? Do you find that this summer is just flying by?
I am so thankful that this week is almost behind me. It was such a long week with the kids. Although they were in art camp for the week in the afternoons, the amount of time that they spent home and with each other was sever torcher on me. They spent the entire week fighting and not listening to a word I said. And today hasn’t been any better. If they keep this up, I am really thinking about booking a vacation just for me! I know they would love to experience any of Orlando vacations, but they way they have been acting, they are going to be lucky if they get to experience going outside our doorway for the next week. Do you ever get fed up with your kids?? Have you threatened to run away all by yourself??
Most of you may not be aware of this, but I have set up a small crafting business over at Simply Crafting. Here you will find all the projects that I have personally made up for sale. Most of the inventory of the inventory that I have for sale is homemade jewelry. I have had a couple of sales from my site. But I haven’t sold nearly the amount of jewelry that I want to.
I was contacted today from a friend of mine who is having a yard sale on Saturday. She asked me if I would like to participate in it and try to sell some of my jewelry. So I figured why not. Even if I don’t sell a thing on Saturday the only thing I will have wasted would be my time. So I’m off to a yard sale on Saturday and hopefully the first of next week I’ll be able to come in and post that I’ve sold a ton of jewelry.
Well I think it’s finally happened. I’ve run out of things to say. That is an extremely new thing to happen to a person like me. Normally I can think of tons of things to post about and usually have a hard time finding enough time in the day to do all the postings I would like. But, this past week I really am floundering for some useful things to talk about. I think this is what you would call “blogger’s block”. Oh well, I’m sure some topics will come back to me eventually and soon I will be posting again like crazy. Until then I guess I’ll just wish you all a happy week. And happy posting!
I can’t believe how fast this summer is flying by! It’s Thursday again already and I really have to wonder where did all this time go. It just seems like yesterday that the kids were finishing up their final days of school and getting all set for summer vacation. Now an entire month has passed since the final day of school. If the rest of the summer flies by like the first of the summer did, then it won’t be no time at all before we will be digging out the lunch bags and book bags. But the kids are having a major blast this summer so I guess it’s all been worth it.
After a two week break from art day camp the kids are going back today. They will be going everyday for the next three weeks. They are pretty excited about going back and have had all their supplies packed for days. I’m quite happy that their going back as well. Now I don’t need to entertain them everyday all day and I could possibly get some much needed work done. I can’t believe how fast this summer is flying by. But the kids are having a blast and that’s what summer vacation is all about now isn’t it?!
After almost 10 months without his wife, my father in law is finally starting to move on. He has decided to put the house up for sale and has been cleaning and getting rid of things for the past couple of weeks. Although this activity does make me a little sad, I am happy to see that he is moving on with his life. He has gotten rid of a lot of things of hers over the past couple of weeks. He has given all her clothes to the diabetic association and has finally gotten rid of all her medication, even her diet pills. I could never understand why he wanted to keep her pills, but now that he has gotten rid of them I’m glad. With kids hanging around his house, you can never be too safe. Now that the time has come for him to move on, I guess I should too.
In the past year my oldest brother has lost over 100 lbs. He looks great and claims that he feels great as well. I am very happy for him as the extra weight that he was carrying was starting to affect his health. Now he’s has more energy, his cholesterol and blood pressure are under control and his looks a lot better as well. When I asked him how he lost all this weight, he stated that he used several methods. He joined a gym, went on a strict diet and even tried medication like Phentermine. Of all the methods he used he credits his success to the gym and the diet. Whatever he did, it worked and now I just hope that he can keep all this weight off.
Right now I have seven blogs on the go and all of them are hosted through Bluehost. I am extremely happy with the service and the hosting plan I have with them, but I am having a serious problem with this blog. Right now I use Filezilla to transfer files, templates, and plugins for all my blogs. Here is my problem….
For the past month I have been trying to change the theme on this blog, but am not having any success with it. I have found a couple of themes that I would like to possibly use, but for some reason I cannot upload them into my theme directory. I am able to upload different themes onto my other blogs, so I honesty don’t know what I’m doing wrong on this one.
If anyone could give me some directions or advice in this matter, I would greatly appreciate it.
After over a week of temperatures in the low 30’s we are having a little break today. It is cloudy and rainy today with temperatures around the 20 degrees mark. This is wonderful. The kids aren’t real impressed with this as it means they have to stay inside today, but it’s great news for me. That means I have to stay inside and do all the things that I’ve been putting off for over a week. When it’s nice and sunny outside I just can’t seem to stay inside. But with the rain I’ll have no choice. So I’ll get some cleaning done today, a lot of computer work done and hopefully some crafting. It’s suppose to be nice tomorrow and through the weekend so I need to get as much accomplished today as I possibly can.
