Slow DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so the kids have been in kindergarten for over a month. Where are the days going and why isn't my life super organized & spotless already??? I can't believe I'm still dragging myself to bed every night at midnight or even after that and most nights not even getting my scriptures read or updating here (as I'm sure some have noticed!) I finished my course on post processing photos in Photoshop and I loved all the cool stuff I learned but boy do I need to learn how to run those images through faster! Now that I have more tricks up my sleeve, I want to play forever with every photo!



I had to dig through the last few assignments to get these to post on here tonight and it's after 11, I just got home from bible study, lunches aren't made, the grocery list isn't ready for the morning and I'm exhausted again!


Every day seems to fly by & I'm just barely getting out to meet the bus on time. I'm going to the gym most days, running errands and getting a few things done but what exactly? I'm not too sure. I did manage to re caulk my downstairs tub and have made a couple trips for replacement parts so Murray could fix the leaky spout & shampooed the carpets and sofa though!


The multiples club had the big clothing event so I was busy organizing that plus going through the house to get rid of anything and everything I could find to sell and declutter!


We were also away a weekend visiting Murray's family, we were away another night for one of his races & this weekend I was out Friday night to help out a friend from bible study so she & her husband could have a night out. Saturday am the kids had skating lessons while I had my class at the gym, we got home and had some lunch. In the afternoon Tulip came over to play and they were all through the house, playing with everything when suddenly they were struck with a good idea! Cleaning Fairies! They zoomed through the house, putting away EVERYTHING. Every toy, every piece of clothing was removed and they helped vacuum and then moaned and complained because they couldn't find anything else to clean. They were begging me to make a mess so they'd have something to work on! Finally it was supper time and then we went to the housewarming party at Tulip's where Murray & I did some fine work on Rockband a la Beatles! The girls had a great time at the party and we let them stay up a bit late before whisking them home to bed.


Today was a little crazy also, church this morning followed by cherub choir practice. They're almost ready to do perform another number for the congregation so stay tuned, you don't want to miss this bunch of cuties!

Mr Bojangles was here for a visit!


After cherub practice we went out for lunch as we were going to the family fellowship pumpkin carving party at 1:30. It was a bit cold carving the pumpkins but the kids had fun and after that was done we went straight to my parents' for my birthday dinner there. I got totally spoiled!!! My mum makes beautiful jewelry and she gave me TWO sets!!!!!!! not to mention a whack of other goodies!!!! Thanks for an awesome birthday Mum & Dad!!!!

We got home in time to get the kids ready for bed, pj's on & teeth brushed and then I was out the door to bible study for 8pm. After writing this all out, I think I know where my time's going. I'm living it up and taking advantage of so many things! I guess I can't really complain about that :)
