Work for Vacation

Why is it that you have to put in lots of overtime the entire week before a vacation just so you can go on vacation? Heck! I'm only going to be gone for one day and I just put in a 14-hour day today.

You finally get to a point where you just say "the heck with it!" which I did a few moments ago. Things will get done when they get done. I'm on vacation. There's always Monday....

So much to do, so little time...

My problem is I have too much clutter in my life and I need to get it all organized. I always seem to be behind schedule and when push comes to shove, I either have to compromise on the quality of the work, or I have to scrap that item from my list and it doesn't get done. It's been that way since I had my last daughter (and she is almost 4-years-old!

Tonight it will be another mad dash to get stuff done...drop off the oldest at driver's ed class at 6, get the fundraising forms from our band treasurer and get those organized, get supper made, get the downstairs picked up and the bathroom cleaned, pack for our weekend trip, pick up the oldest daughter from class, bake blueberry muffins.....*sigh*

Camper Owners

Hubby and I bit the bullet and bought a pop-up RV for our summer pleasure. We got a fantastic deal at Roskopf's RV Center in Menomonee Falls, WI. We worked with Keith at the Milwaukee RV show and he helped us cinch the deal yesterday. It is a high wall Rockwood and has many ammenitites. We're scared but excited! We plan on taking delivery sometime in May.

Creative Day

This morning I attended an advanced alcohol marker class at Creative Pals in Brookfield. Kathy is such a wonderful instructor--so artistic and so happy to pass along all of her secrets for making our cards so beautiful. I learned more in this class than any other I've taken over the years.

It sure was nice to be out and about on my own without the kids or my husband. I stopped at Brennan's for various things. Stopped off at Pick N Save for a few groceries, got a car wash and picked up my youngest who was at a birthday party for a classmate. Once I got her into bed for a nap, I spent the remainder of the afternoon in my craft room working on some greeting cards.

We're watching the movie Curous George with Will Ferrell. Megan is enjoying it and as long as it is keeping her quiet, I'm enjoying it too.

Funny or Die Blog

I finally made it to Will Ferrell's blog Funny or Die. Hilarious videos right on the first page....I haven't had the opportunity to explore it in depth...perhaps after the kiddies go to bed!

Check out the blog for yourself! http://www.funnyordie.com/

Et Tu Weatherman?

More freaking snow! I listen to the weather quite regularly, but wasn't expecting this latest batch. My husband and I have to drive downtown Milwaukee tonight for a Buck's game....I got us tickets to the company suite. If I wasn't tagged for signing off on the food and drinks I'd bag the trip and stay home. *sigh* When is this snow going to stop? We don't have room for anymore snow!

Winter Blahs

As I sit here contemplating what to write about, I can't get too excited about much of anything. I have so much to do--clean the house, organize files, clean up my craft room, pay bills--yet want to do nothing. I have an official case of the January blahs.

What I'd like is several days off of work (yet still get paid--heh, a girl can dream) and time in the house by myself. No one to bug me for a couple of days on end. I'll roll over and go back to my dreams....
