New Approach

I've been inspired to try something new by many other blogs I read on networking sites. Although this blog has been extremely cathartic and not unlike what you might find in my journal, I don't feel that it represents what is on my mind most. Honestly, I'm a much more boring person than this blog depicts. ha ha.

The truth is, I have tons of goals and projects in the works and not posting about them has seemed a bit like lying or hiding something. So, here goes nothing.

June 9th, 2011

It is the time of year when I start thinking about handmade Christmas gifts. Not because we are broke,(which we are compared to some and not at all compared to others) but because my gifts take months to finish. I'm looking at crocheting projects for inspiration. Did you know that you can make ONE reusable shopping bag out of 50-60 plastic bags? I think this sounds fascinating and I would really like to try it! Obviously, this years holiday gift giving is going to have a green theme.

Two weeks into summer vacation and the kids are already tired of following me to the gym. To be fair there are many more kids in the daycare this time of the year and more kids means more likelihood of brats. So, I think it's time to sign them up for some swim lessons and other fun activities. It's spending money, but they will love it and I will have an hour to work out without the poor kids feeling put out. What is up with some peoples kids?

I still haven't applied for the Masters Program. I do want to attend, but I just don't want to apply. There's something wrong with that. I don't know what it is yet.

I'm waiting to hear whether the kids new school has received Ben's final kindergarten records. Everything I needed to do on my end is, PHEW, finally done. I also set up an account for them on my bank's bill paying website so that payments can be made easily. I can't WAIT to see how they do in their adorable little private school. They deserve the best for sure!
