Can you believe there are only 14 shopping days left til ...gasp Christmas! Where did October and November go! I was shocked when I just looked at my post list and I have not logged in since the beginning of October! And trust me it's not like I didn't have
PLENTY to ...oh how would the hubster put it...oh yeah..
NAG ABOUT! He must need a refresher course because here I am at 12:30am scrolling through pictures from this year to make up the Xmass cards first he points out that it is Xmass is in 2 weeks and I am just now doing the cards? And then he pipes in "While your up ~ you should update your blog! I'm tried of reading the same thing!"
The past 2 months are a bit of a blur.....October all my free time was spent making Tutu's for my Halloween crafts! I had tutu's coming out of my ears. And when the dust settled in rolled November.
My great aunt had a massive stroke in early November. She is the godfather of our entire family, the glue that holds us all together, the strongest woman (besides my mom) that I know. It makes perfect sense my mom and my aunts would be so strong, they were all raised by her! She is also 89, but like I said the strongest woman I know, she is a fighter and has not given up yet. I am sure when she regains her speech.....she will have plenty to say...to all of us ~ that go and visit and yap and yap away ~ whether she wants to hear it or not!! None of us can imagen a world without her, so for now ~ we don't let ourselves imagen that at all.
We have had some major
changes in our school world. PC has changed to a private school that caters to his ADD,ODD and OCD. It only has 92 kids from grades 5-12 and the best part....are you ready... there is ....wait for it.... wait.... there is.. NO .....HOMEWORK!!! There is a chance I may survive these "Tween years" without wearing prison orange!! We just started last week so time will tell if it'll be worth it. I certainly hope so!
Off to bed I need to go! My head is swirling with all the projects left to finish, shopping left to do and I totally need to get my lazy ass up and go to boot camp at 5:30am oh and swing by Walmart before I go! After all it is the baking season!!! The hubster - who BTW makes a WAY better house wife then me..... made tonight for dinner...homemade bread, real Alfredo sauce with pasta and chocolate chip meringue cookies for dessert!
Can't you just feel your waistband expand???
Oh the things we do for our kids~ my good dead today is not strangling him! Really it's something I am doing for myself as I do not look good in prison orange or stripes for that matter! UGHH not sure if we will survive middle school ~ last week I spent the majority of the week "nagging" as the hubster would say about doing the homework the rest of my waking hours were spent at that whole job thing I go to, or making tutu's, but feels like the majority of my home time is spent NAGGING about doing the freaking homework! Which is what I am doing now, I decided I would take a break and count ...once I lost track of how many times I could count to 100 over and over and over I decided it was time to blog! This way he doesn't hear all the screaming voices that are firing off things in my head!!! Yes I am well on my way to crazy -ville and it has PC's name written all over it!
And can you believe he is the "ONLY ONE" at school who doesn't have an iPhone or android phone? Not that they are EVEN allowed to have it at school but ~ OMG- Really the ONLY ONE in a middle school of 1200 kids ....how is that even possible! Apparently PC has been negotiating with the hubster about getting him one.....I mean seriously we can not be the ONLY ONE in the school without one....what would the other 1999 kids think about that? And guess how I found out about this little deal that the PC and the hubster were making? Common sense would tell you that it was a family discussion at the dinner table over a nice home cooked meal ....hahahahaha.............. okay I cant even write that with a straight face ~ ! No that's not how at all....PC told grandma on the way to school one morning ~ (my mama) that he an dad made a deal that if he got straight A's then he could get one! Really? That would be great right how about we add in a few more things like....do what your asked, clean up after your self, and if only you would do your homework without all my ...what was the word the hubster used "Nagging" - yes even said to me one day ( oh you thought I forgot this little comment didn't ya hubster ????) "Can you pause the nagging - he really wanted to see this movie". HUMMM........... nope there's no pause button so better snap to the homework and then he can watch the movie!! 
I've been a busy tutu maken fool I have 22 made so far! I shared my pictures at work with the gals of my project for the craft fair The Witch Candy Jars.......and now I have 13 orders just from work! Needless to say I have "tutu-itis" in my thumb ~ I am sure it is a real diagnoses! I made the ghost and then I transformed it into a mummy! A sparkly mummy at that ~ since I am a firm believe that every girl should have some sparkle! I had a candle in them when I took the pictures.
