Time Flies

Wow. It's been a while since I posted. Since then things have been crazy, but that's life!

AJ's mom didn't have surgery. They ran into complications, and are going to pursue radiation instead. Hopefully that will do the job, but only time will tell. Still waiting to hear when this will transpire.

AJ has been crazy busy at work. We haven't seen much of him in the past couple of months between work and his night classes. Thankfully, he finished his class last week and work is slowing down a bit, so hopefully he will be home more!

Baby Kenly Rae, my new niece, was born on March 5. The kids and I were able to go see them during spring break. She is precious, of course, and she and her mom and dad are doing well.

Also got to see the rest of my siblings and parents that weekend, which was nice. The trip ended on a weird note, mostly because I can't keep my mouth shut, but otherwise it was really good to see everyone. Apparently I am more of a drama queen than I thought.

I am addicted to Facebook quizzes. I know, what a nerd. But they're fun and whimsical and just a nice break from grown up life. Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

My Signature Homestyles business has hit a roadblock. People seem excited about the products, but no one wants to have a show. I know the economy is iffy right now, but come on folks! I see people loading up their carts and shopping bags with household items at Walmart, Target, Lowe's, the mall... and they're spending MONEY on those items. I can offer them awesome items FOR FREE. What's the deal? I need bookings to keep the ball rolling, and even if they don't want to do live shows, I can offer the option to do catalog shows. Catalog shows are awesome because I don't have to be there... so they can be done anywhere, anytime! All it takes is the "host" showing a catalog to the people they come into contact with and taking orders. At any rate, I need to do something before I get completely discouraged and give up.

We have plans to do some home improvements around here. Hopefully that will work out soon. It's daunting... it will require refinancing the house, getting a home improvement loan, etc... But we need to get some things done to make it more functional.

Somehow I got roped in to being assistant VBS director this summer. I know it will be fun, but at this very moment I am not looking forward to the preparation. Lots to do, with little time to do it.

As much as I would love to sit here all day and continue the list of things going on in my life, I need to go do "real" stuff! Besides, I need to spend some time on facebook before I do chores! LOL! :)
