three month break

Lots has happened. Life has been fun.
And now it's time to get some work done!

I recently had a week away from my motherly responsibilities and it was invigorating. It gave me motivation to do the things that I need to do AND want to do. I will someday figure out this job called 'mom'!

I did finally get some projects done that have been taking up space in my basement, and then on the back patio, and then in the garage. Fixed up my black table and chairs: sold same day as posted. Makes me happy.

I also finished a couple of halloween decoration that I've pinned the last couple of years.

AND I got a credit!! (teacher re-certification) I have 2 and have 4 more to go by Sept. um, I better get going on that one. . ..

I'm just so happy that I can do all my mom duties and fit in the things that I want to do without feeling overwhelmed. Doesn't happen all the time, just this week. really. first time for everything.

And here's July:
