Best Laid Plans...

Ooookay, so my BIG PLAN didn't exactly go, well, as planned. I did stay up for a while yesterday, and got some things done. But then I walked into my bedroom and saw my hubby, who's only day off happens to be Wednesday, sleeping so peacefully. Well, needless to say, I crawled right in bed with him and fell asleep. So on day 1, my plan was a flop. But today... I will stay up and be productive. I am actually giggling as I write this, because I am hoping I can stick to it. I guess I feel like if I am actually typing this, and real people can see it, then it holds me accountable if I don't succeed. Aside from my big plan failure, there is open house at the kids' school tonite, so I am really looking forward to seeing what they are going to be learning this year, and getting to know their teachers a little bit better. My youngest, Z, is also excited because tomorrow I go to help out in his classroom with their "centers". Not so sure yet what that entails, but I am sure it will be fun. I think I will eat lunch with the two little ones tomorrow, since I will already be there. They have been begging since the first day of school for me to come and eat lunch with them. I think it is just because they get to choose a friend to eat with them and go up on the stage, which I hear, is really cool. Well, I am off to be "productive". Wish me luck...

Till next time...

Back to School Blues

So... the kids went back to school a little while ago. Now, the mom who was in the middle of all of those sibling arguments, and bored kids all summer was like, YAY! But the mom in me that got used to, and actually loves all of that chaos around me, was pretty darn sad. My house is entirely too quiet. I don't know, maybe I am just glutton for punishment. So, what to do with myself... Hmm... well the first week or two I slept in, after waking up and getting the kids and hubby ready for the day, but then it was back to bed for me. So that burned half of the day away. Then I would get up, and then it is time to make lunch for the hubby, and pretty soon after that, out the door to get the kids off the bus. Okay, it was working for me, but not very productive... So, I am now vowing to NOT go back to bed after the kids go to school. I will blog in the morning...which has been a loong time coming. After that, I will spend at least a couple of hours on my website, getting it just perfect, and adding new products. Last, but certainly not least, I will work on my house...which has been neglected all summer while my house was full of children all day long. This is my plan to beat the Back to Schol Blues. Keep myself busy. We will see...
