So my week of "vacation" is over...and I'm in the middle of my first week back. All I can say is factory work is HOT! I think I've lost 5lbs sweating in places women shouldn't sweat in!
After the summer we're having, I think I want to be the domesticated Goddess and stay home! This has been the hottest summer that I can remember having in a longggg time!
Ok, so now we're on to the small home remodeling projects. The kitchen is finally finished being painted...it sucks that my dear husband picked a light gray "to match the counter tops"....who ever heard of a gray kitchen? I mean it doesn't look that bad, but I love COLOR!! So, I think I'll have to sneak in color with accessories. And I suppose this will do until I save up enough to just get myself a new kitchen, and that may take awhile.
I now have 2 kids going to college, and I can honestly say I'm going to be poor for awhile. I might have to find a part time job to afford all this, but for their education, it'll be well worth it! I don't want them stuck in a factory sweating, I want them to do whatever makes them happy in life!
And I want to mention in this blog, how much I appreciate ebay! I love to scrapbook, and I love my Cricut cutting machine....so when I can get 2 cartridges for $30 I'm all over it! And 2 just arrived!

Painting the Kitchen
Well, I took a well deserved week off of work. Haven't done that in a long time...and my husband creates a "list" of things to do for me. Why do they do that? I understand working 7 days a week restricts what you can accomplish during a week. But man.. I just want to relax! So, today's list consists of going and washing the walls down in the kitchen, so we can paint later today. It's supposed to be a humid 90 degrees outside, so I'm thinking that I'd rather be inside in the air conditioning anyway....but to paint walls?
I don't think I was made to be a domesticated Goddess....this is ridiculous ! Not to mention how much laundry I've done over the last couple of days....how can any of my kids whine with the "I don't have anything to wear" yea whatever....
Ok...enough lollygagging, time to get it in gear and get something accomplished....haha.

Life in a Mom's Lane
Well, I'm doing this for me. Because sometimes thoughts get so caught up in my head I can't think straight.
Between the kids, the husband, work, and home my life is constantly in motion with a few days off, I believe in "me" time, and relish in it when I get it.
I love to scrapbook, my kids are older now, and don't need mom as much as they used too, so I love diving into all those old pictures, and just going down memory lane remembering what they used to do when they were little and so on....time is but a fleeting moment, might as well scrapbook it!
And it's been told to me that when things are on your mind, or somethings bothering you, it's best to put it on paper so you don't dwell on it. Then walk away from it, and go back to that thought later...with a clear mind. We're going to see if that actually works!
Now, I'm not complaining about my life, I am very humble about what I have, I work hard for what I have, and I love what I have, that's not what this is about. This is about things that happen to me, by me, around me, that sometimes it's really hard for me to wrap my mind around and I don't "understand" because the thought's just jumbling around in my head....this is for me to get it out, and come back to it later. : )
This is for someone to walk in my shoes....climb in my head...see what's rolling around in there and give me advise...not that I'll listen to it, but advise is good! : )
