Resolutions

Who started this tradition anyway? I'm not usually a big resolution setter, as I know I won't keep something just because I decided to do it one day. lol But, these next few months I really need to work on my being late. I know it has to do with my being a procrastinator. It's time to take control of it because I'm missing time with people by being late. Then I'm just rushing around even more trying to catch up all day. I know if I can get back into the good habits from when I was working outside the home and had to manage my time wisely, then I will stop being late for everything.

Busy, busy, joy, joy

I can't believe how much having the kids at home throws off my groove:) I have worked a few extra hours, christmas chaos has ensued and my house looks like the aftermath of world war 3. Can we clear enough space for me to run the vacuum through? Too much to ask? lol I'll just go hide out on the computer and pretend it's not there. lol

At least until next week, when I know that it will still be clean a few hours after I clean it!

4 days and counting

UGH, like every other mom out there, I need to find some more hours in my day! I'm not even close to done shopping yet. I haven't wrapped a single present and my house is a wreck.

Hubby and I are meeting after he get's off work for dinner and to finish shopping for the kids. Then my Dad and I are going to hit Seattle for special presents at Pike Place market and to get hubby's presents. It will be fun both days. Kids and I are going to head out tomorrow to get their presents for Dad. I'm trying to get them thinking about it, so we don't have to spend all day shopping. Thankfully, Target has opened up here by us and there is always Walmart and Fred Meyer's. I shouldn't have to leave the hill. Of course, the presents they really want to get can only be ordered online. WHY didn't they tell me they wanted to get him WWE shirts weeks ago? Would have been so much easier to shop online. lol Guess I better remember this and start them thinking earlier.

So, off to do some dishes before the sitter get's here.

Wisdom teeth?

Why in the world are they called that? They have nothing to do with wisdom. Why don't we call them useless or pay-your-dentist teeth. Well, I had them out on Monday. I was doing really well until this morning. I thought I could go back to work. Well, not if you can't take percocet and drive! rofl So, left work early and I look like Sandy the Squirrel on spongebob. I'm starting to bruise as well. So, much for doing really well with it all.

Top it off my in-laws will be in town on friday and of course the house is a mess since I've been on the couch for 2 days. Yikes! Looks like mega cleaning tomorrow. Caffeine and pain pills, maybe that will work. Off to the couch I go now, this has worn me out.

new goals started

It's getting very late in the year to be working on them, but I've started my goals for 2005. I've gotten quite a bit more advertising out there and need to focus on where my best dollars will be spent next year. I've gotten to a great start on inventory this year and need to get it automated now before it get's too much. We will be moving soon, so I really need to get all my scrapbook stuff organized and ready for that to happen. I have to get classes scheduled for Jan. and Feb. as well.

Newsletters are my main focus next year. I need to start writing articles ahead of time so I can just copy and paste. Web updates need to happen every week as well. Get more action going on the site to pull repeat visitors.

New direction

This will be my new all around blog. I need a place to talk about daily life and this is it! Friends wanting divorces, kids staring at me like I'm not telling them to do something, and taking my daughter and her friend to a "recorder" concert for extra credit in music. Are you kidding me? Adults really play the recorder? HOLY CRAP, no wonder why I hate our music teacher! So, here goes everything. lol
