The evergrowing list of things I'm going to do when the kids go back to school

  1. Get back to doing water aerobics - 3 days a week.
  2. Work in my studio - set hours - from 12:00 to 3:00 Mondays and Wednesdays.
  3. Start submitting here and there to magazines again. It's been awhile.
  4. Paint my bedroom.
  5. Paint the main bathroom.
  6. Start Christmas shopping.
  7. Get back to meal planning. Summertime is not condusive to an organized meal plan and it's starting to drive me crazy.
  8. Seed the bald patches in the front yard.
  9. List about a gazillion things on ebay.
  10. Work every day with Gracie until she learns to heel correctly.
  11. Clean out the 'green room' - my basement storage area.

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Lots of plans.

I love summer - love having the chance to do fun things with the kids, but I'm ready for some structure - a schedule - and a little more free time to accomplish stuff without all these bodies all over the place...

Looking forward to my quiet Monday mornings again.

School starts two weeks from tomorrow.

I LOVE September!

    As a kid, I looked so forward to summer break. But by the end of the break I was ready to get back to school and see my friends, etc. Now as a Mom, it's not much different is it??!! Can't wait for summer break. But excited for school to start again too!! Good luck on your lists!! I'm great at making them -- horrible at actually doing them!!

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
