Lifes Like That

I have to tell you all that I am quite amazed at how much homework and projects my daughter (who’s in grade 6) has had this year. I swear to god that every teacher she has thinks they are the only teacher that my child has to deal with. She just turned in two major projects and brought home another project that she needs to complete. This one is going to be a little more time consuming than the others. She has to find some hip hop clothes and do a report on the history and the trends of these clothes. The teacher has given her a month to do this which is a good thing. Now… if only I could find some of these clothes to help her along.

I have to tell you all that I could not be more impressed with the weather we are having if I was living in Orlando and had a orlando timeshare. For the past week we have seen nothing but sunshine and temperatures ranging over the the freezing mark. It’s still cold during the night, but that’s okay as I’m normally in bed. And this weather is supposed to continue over this upcoming weekend as well. I don’t want to jinx us, but I dare say that spring is finally on it’s way. Now all we have to do is get rid of all this snow that is on the ground and I will be one happy camper.

Well after having my husband and kids home for the past couple of weeks, I am really starting to catch up on all the work that I wasn’t able to get done when they were home. I don’t have all that much work to do on the Internet any more and most of my housework is getting done as well. I really do love my family, but when their home, nothing, and I mean nothing seems to get done. Hopefully I get all I need to have done, done by the weekend and then I will only have to put up with their weekend mess.

What a beautiful weekend we just had! The sun was shining all weekend and the temperatures were above the freezing mark all weekend. It was a perfect weekend to get outside and get some exercise. It sure beat staying inside and working on my fitness equipment. The weatherman is calling for this type of weather all this week as well, so I guess I will be spending a lot of time outdoors this week. It really has been a long, cold winter and I am so happy to see spring is finally on it’s way.

Last week my husband was home for the week on holidays and this past week my two younger children were home from school on March break. Honestly folks I think it’s time that I had a March break of my own. Having people constantly underfoot for two weeks have made it nearly impossible for me to get anything done. I haven’t even been able to be on my laptop to do some work as much as I would like. I just haven’t been able to concentrate much. But…. next week they will all be out of the house once again so I should be able to get back into a normal routine. Man… I can’t wait until Monday!

Well after a week off, my husband went back to work this morning. Now normally I don’t really like it when he’s home for any length of time, but he actually wasn’t too bad this week. Normally he bugs the crap out of me and can sometimes be worse than the two younger kids. But this week he spent a lot of time on the computer looking up truck accessories and new trucks, so he pretty much let me alone. So now he’s back to work, but I have the two little ones home on their March break. So… I guess next week will be my time for a vacation.

Well I wasn’t able to start work on any type of craft this weekend. Actually I wasn’t able to get much of anything done this weekend. The two kids are home on March break this week and they spent their entire weekend fighting. Well this meant that I really couldn’t concentrate on a whole lot of anything. So…. if they keep this behavior up, it really doesn’t look like I’m going to get much of anything accomplished this week. Hopefully they’ll slack back on their fighting and I’ll be able to get some stuff done. Otherwise, I’ll just have to put everything off until next week when I’m home alone (man…. I can’t wait for next week!)

Well I have once again kick started my home crafting business. Yesterday I decided to get out all my jewelry supplies and once again started my hand crafted jewelry. Once I get a few sets of jewelry made, I plan on taking pictures and updating my craft website. Once I get this started up again I plan on buying some promo keychains to hand out to all my family and friends advertising my business. Since I have quiet a bit of extra time on my hands now, I think I can finally make a go out of this. Once I get the ball rolling, I’ll be sure to pop in here and give you all an update.

Well I never thought that I would be saying this, but I think I’ve found too much work on the Internet. This past weekend was brutal for the work that I had to get done, and nope, I didn’t get it all done. So I had to make a very difficult decision and had to drop a contract. That means less money for me, but at least I won’t be spending 24/7 on my computer any more. I dropped the lower paying contract that required a lot of work for a little bit of money. So in the future I won’t be writing any more articles on Mesothelioma and will be able to concentrate on my blogging and general transcription jobs. I really didn’t want to give up this other contract, but with time constraints, something had to go. Now that I’ve made my decision, I do feel a lot less panic about getting the other work done.
