Manic Monday!



It is here. August. As I like to call it....The Sundays of the months.

I am ready for school to start. I am ready to be back on a routine again and so are the kids. This summer has been fun (when we weren't getting rained out) All the lazy, hazy days at the pool. The great vacation we took in June and the trips to the nice cool library. All the late nights and late mornings have been great, but I like our routines of the school year. I am ready for piano and violin lessons to start. I am ready for early mornings and early bed times! (wasnt I just glad that school was out yesterday?!)


I have had the last few days to really focus on some new business ventures. I am wanting to start branching out and do more for the community. I hope all that pans out and there is a spot with some organizations for little ole me!

Well, this Monday was a total flop and a half. Surprisingly not all my Mondays are like this, so I guess I had to play catch up and have a really bad one to make me appreciate all the good ones. Its almost over and that is making me happy as well. 

I'm in the process of adding some great and upcoming fun photo sessions to my photography business. So that has made this Monday a little more enjoyable!!


Happy Monday and Happy first week of August!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
