All summer long I have thought about what life will be like when school starts. I WAS NOT looking forward to that time, but I was thinking about it. Kelsey is in school now all day and Kendal goes for 2 1/2 hours in the mornings. I figured I would have all this time to do some things that I have been wanting to do. I thought my yard would be spiffed up nice for fall, my bathrooms would look good ALL the time instead of once every 10 days or so, I could read blogs and post something great on mine, and I really thought I would have so many quilting projects finished.
Where has the time all gone? Kendal has been in school for a week and what have I done? I am not sure, but not what I had planned!
This week I did attend a Gold Medal Mile meeting (PTA), a training for Meet the Masters program (more PTA), helped Matt lay tile (most of it anyway), went to the park for play group with Kendal, made 24 chicken freezer meal dinners, had a hot dog roast with a bunch of friends, went to my glorious quilt guild meeting, picked Kendal up promptly from school, and what else? Did you hear any quilting, bathroom cleaning or yard work going on in there? Me neither!
I need to get a handle on life before it gets me. I have some great pictures to post from our WONDERFUL LABOR DAY WEEKEND FAMILY REUNION, but we are headed south again for the weekend for some great fun, so here we go!
Our busy life with an amazing veterinarian and cattleman, a gardening, quilting and history loving wife and mother, a creative perfectionist violinist, a spunky and kind epileptic princess, a sweet yet wild little man, and the most mellow and happy babe, on a joyful 1/2 acre living and loving in a beautiful mountain valley.

Your bathrooms may not be the cleanest right now, but I know you, and from the sounds of it you have still been busy. Cut yourself some slack! You are NOT one to sit on the couch eating Bon-bons!!
Wow, you have done a lot with a week compared to me. It seems all I get done in a day is unbuckle Cammi in and out of her car seat a million times to run kids to and from school all day. You motivate me to do more with my time!!
Yeah, i agree,,,,, sounds to me like you have been way busy,, the bathrooms, yards and quilting will all still be there.
Just one piece of advise from this ole girl,,,, take time to smell the roses,,, or coffee, or whatever is out there, you may regret it when your an ole girl like me.
you also watched Jack, brought dinner to neighbors, attended a funeral, visited friends, watched Jacob, did your monthly sewing class with "the ladies", rode your bike, finished the barn block, round robin, bought pints of ice cream, milk and bread for your friends, homework, mowed and watered the lawn, sat on the couch and ate bon-bons, wait you didn't do that one! You have done a ton! Next week after early out Monday, you will get more done.
I love to read your blog! It sounds like my life somedays!! Which makes me laugh even more!!!I was going through some pictures the other day (old fire pictures)whow! there are a few of you! Black Mail! Just kidding. Tell Matt hello and keep posting so I have something to laugh at when I am at work! At 3:00 a.m. when you are really tired things become really funny!! You sould try it!
It sounds like you have been super busy. I'm so glad to see that you blogged...I was getting worried!
You are amazing! You did quilt! It just was helping me,(thanks so much) not doing one of your own projects. Take your own advice and remember "It's All Good!" Love ya!
