A new Direction....

      So as it seems it has been a little more then 5 months since I last posted.  Things have been so crazy and busy here.  I started work in March, working full time as a supervisor at OfficeMax over the printing department.  Working full time, and still trying to be mom, wife and to also be creative. I am creative at work to promote different things, but by the time I get home I don't feel very creative.  My husband has been sick and off work for most of the summer, but he is doing better now.  And to add to all the fun now, my baby started Tackle football.  My baby, if any mom has fear of watching their baby get hit and pushed by other kids, it is hard.  Ok, so he isn't a baby he is almost 11, but he is my baby.  Well, three nights we have practice from 5:30-7:30, along with doing things with the other 3 kids.  Plus games on sat for 2-3 hours.  I need a couple of extra days in the week for just ME!!!  Oh, wait that won't happen.  SO I am turning this blog into my outlet for creativity in my limited time.  So please bear with me as I try to focus on life, my family, my kids, my husband, and my crafts.  In dec. I have to have major surgery on my ankle and will put me out of comission for atleast 6 weeks, so my first goal is making meals and preparing crockpot meals for my family.  I figure if I can get it going while I am walking, by the time it gets closer it will be easier to get it all ready.  I hope by the end of the weeks to have a menu of recipes that my family will eat.  Stay tuned as I tackle this goal.
    My dear friend always calls me Mrs. Betty Crocker,  I do love to make and create, but at times I feel so overwhelmed.  So whenever I hear it, it makes me smile because I remember all the fun times.  Don't you love it when you make an unexpected friend in a very short time, then you move away, but everytime you call, text, or facebook each other it feels like you are never apart.  That is me and my friend .   Never take a friendship for granted because your life can change, your future can change, but your friend will be there to laugh with you or at you if needed, cheer you, listen to your tears, listen to your joys and to just plain listen to you.
     Since this is my blog, I get to say what I want.  So for now, after a busy day of cleaning, sitting in the hot sun for 3 hours watching football, I will finish enjoying my day off, ok it is almost 10pm, but still I can enjoy it.  Have a great night and enjoy.
